How are you planning to get around once you arrive? Are you too young to rent a car?
Thanks again lindaiah. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner over the weekend. Your information is very helpful to me. I will definitely have to call back. Super Shuttle even recommended that I call Southwest up. On Google Maps they give you Bus #249 that leaves from near the University of Houston. That is the main bus that Google is showing when you do an
A to B (Bus) Direction from Hobby to either the hotel or JSC. But I will mention #246 over the phone if you think it is that. But you have to take another bus to go north to that destination. This ride could take up to 3 hours it seems! Not worth the headache I don't think.
I'm old enough to rent a car but I don't want to do that. I'm trying to save as much money as possible on this trip. I will just walk around in the hotel area. I love to walk so even it means 30 minute walk somewhere that is fine. Super Shuttle did tell me over the phone they'd be there at the time I'd need them. They said I'd be the last one to pick-up which is good. So we'd go directly to Hobby after picking me up. Trouble is, I don't know if I'll finish at 3pm or 2pm. Or possibly even 3:30 PM, but that is planning for the worst. I just need to make sure I call Super Shuttle the night before (at least 10 hours ahead of time).
Any particular cab company you recommend before I randomly google search them in the Clear Lake area? I haven't actually called one up but I did do one of those automated cab fare estimates and it looks like it'll be at least $50.
