Rare TxTeach79 Posted July 14, 2023 Author #126 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Headed up! It was very hectic down there and not all the rooms are ready. I got lucky. Fella checking everyone in was a bit ornery so I decided to wait on the parking question til it dies down a bit or there’s a shift change…. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted July 14, 2023 Author #127 Share Posted July 14, 2023 In the end, those two pockets of Houston traffic weren’t too bad at all. I ended up pulling in right on time based on Apple Maps. Made that drive a hundred times, and that was easy as it’s ever been. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TxTeach79 Posted July 14, 2023 Author #132 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Okay, so there’s barely functional cell service in the room and I didn’t get the wifi password at the front desk (there’s no info binder or anything in here) so I’m gonna just go back down now and do that and handle the parking and hope for the best. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TxTeach79 Posted July 14, 2023 Author #135 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Looks like we got our first big win - dude didn’t even ask me my cruise dates. Just had me fill out a form with vehicle info and told me where to park before I leave. Score. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare TxTeach79 Posted July 14, 2023 Author #138 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Reserved an Uber for the morning since I know it’ll be a little nuts with three ships in. Let’s see if this works out better than it did in Barcelona. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
