DFW-IAH-HOU

Two hours after landing from COS-IAH-DFW, I was back on a plane heading to IAH and HOU.

Enjoyed the President's Club again. Bumped me to FC without asking.

Sat at the bar watching a football game. On way out, Patriots trailing 21-0. By the time I got the next update, they'd won 31-28. Yay! (With apologies to Indianpolis fans).

IAH-HOU was in a Beechcraft 1900. I think the # designation was the year this flying antique was produced.

Stayed at Hilton at Hobby. YUCK! Originally given a room in the "Cabana" wing. I think the Geneva Convention covers places like this. Elevator sounds and rides like a freight elevator. Hallway reeks of mildew. TV in room broken.

Got a new room. Facing the airport, across from ice machine. Fortunately I can sleep through a hurricane, but REALLY noisy, even by my standards.

At check out, I am told NO FF MILES. I booked the room THROUGH THEM. Definitely a letter coming their way.

Next day, returning to DFW. Saw one of the funniest example of poor planning. A partition was put up at the top of the escalator. DIRECTLY at the top. So from the bottom, it is hysterical.

Same Beechcraft back. IAH-DFW flight in coach. Staying at the Hyatt East. 4:30 wakeup call for my flights home - gotta go!
