  1. I sure would like the name of the hotel and the road so I can avoid both.

    I am taking a cruise out of there in November and I dont wish to contribute to the tourist fund

     

    Old Rocker, and anyone else visiting Bayport,

     

    The Road to avoid is Sam Houston Pkwy also known as Beltway 8. I live in the Houston area and have taken my parents to this port. I am not from Houston I am originally from Utah and Have lived here for about 18 months. The port itself is easy to get to and from. But as mentioned from original post you do not want to travel on the toll road. Houston has two belt loops the inner and outer. The outer is the toll road and the inner (610) is your normal freeway. There are a couple routes that are simple to follow. In the Houston area all the freeways have what are called feeder roads that run parallel to the freeway. even if you found yourself on the toll road you could get off and use the feeder for free. Catch being it will take larger because of slower speed and some traffic lights. If you are going to the port from the north side of Houston (Bush Intercontinental Airport is on the north side) you can travel on the Sam Houston Pkwy for free as long as it is between the I-45 and I-69 freeways. These are the freeways that are around the airport that run north south. I would take the Pkwy East to the i-69/59 (same road) then head some on 59 to the 610 East. Follow that around until you hit the 225 head east on that until you hit the 146 where you will want to head south until you come to Port road. The exit for Port road is well marked as the cruise terminal. Once you are on the port road head until you have to turn right or left, head left and follow directions from staff to park. Hopefully this makes sense. The original post about the toll system is so right on if someone does slam you for your post they have lived to long in the Houston area and need to live somewhere else where things make a lot more sense.
