I agree.  I tried to talk them into coming in day before.  

Good luck.  May the Force be with you.

I would suggest telling them that they need to either change their arrival time at the airport or make their own travel arrangement to the port. Alternatively, give them a firm deadline to be in your vehicle or  your leaving without them.

 Friday traffic in and around Houston area likely twice as bad as weekend traffic.  

It is my firm belief that every city in Texas is afflicted with a Friday time and space warp.  It allows every individual to drive three cars at the same time.  It is the only possible explanation for Friday traffic being as horrid as it is.

Cattle stampedes have always been a part of the way of life in Texas.

Silly me, I just thought a taco truck was on the shoulder and everyone was stopping for a snack. While I don’t dispute your cattle explanation, I’ve failed to see any cow pies on the roadway, but maybe I’m too focused on taco trucks.

You sure you want to be friends with an Okie?

Timing aside, does anyone know the cost of the NCL transportation to IAH from Galveston? I am looking at this cruise (but haven't booked yet) and plan on staying with family in The Woodlands afterwards. I just need a ride anytime after the cruise to IAH to pick up a rental car. I'm a solo so looking for the least expensive option. Thanks!

$78.00 pp both ways, not sure if that is IAH or HOU because we we don't have flights yet.

My best friend is on Okie, OSU to be exact, so I’ve gotten kinda fond of orange.

Just booked one way back to IAH from the cruise port.  It was $39, but have to reconfirm that.

 

Couldn't book it from IAH because I am coming in the day before.

Well, most of them are from south central Kansas so they’re just fine with OK folks.

I was referring to your fondness for orange.

My family would think that cause for estrangement.

[MagnoliaBlossom]

Since we now live in Texas they just assume it’s that other orange team from around here.

You could book it if you were staying near the IAH airport.

Thanks for the info. If I do this, I will be flying in late Thursday after work, staying at a hotel near HOU and taking the NCL shuttle Friday morning. Will be on the Viva 3 weeks from today so will chat with the CruiseNext people to see what type of solo deal I can get.

Yeah.  Have an Air B&B booked near the port as there’s a lot to do the night before.  Got a good deal for $155.  But, Lyft is $100 from IAH to the port area.   NCL is ½ that amount of I stayed at the airport.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
