Get your Fuel Before you Get here! Driving / Traffic Review

I was shocked to see that the price of fuel in downtown Houston was a good 20 cents higher than the price of fuel on the same day just 20 miles outside of Houston. I ended up having to pay 2.24 a gallon for Diesel, since there were no other options and I was out of fuel.

Just be warned!!

Pay before you leave!

If you are in Houston visiting the Galleria, make sure that you pay for your parking prior to getting in your car and starting on your way. The exits to the parking area are in fact not operated by people, so you will have to go to the Security office and pay for your parking, then you have fifteen minutes to leave the lot!

Travel safe!

Traffic at Rush Hour!! Driving / Traffic Review

Please do not expect to get anywhere in any reasonable amount of time if you are travelling across the City of Houston. There are several main arteries, and you will be mildly better off if you are carpooling, but the amount of traffic on the highways is truly ridiculous. It took me a little over an hour to get through a 15 mile stretch of highway recently, leading me to take this picture.

If you are going to have to make a long trek during the rush, check out the website below, and you can get the up-to-the-minute traffic report.
