I have to wait 2 hours in the Houston Intercontinental Airport....

[steve2470]

Any advice or is it a pretty boring place ? :-)

[bluestateguy]

1. I found it boring

And I was stuck there for four hours once.

2. It's a pretty big place. The newer terminals are very nice, lots of stuff

Are you connecting thru?

11. just edited my post above to add airport link. Which airline? -eom

[steve2470]

12. Continental nt

[Justitia]

16. IAH is Continental's big hub. You must be doing a prop to Waco?

On a Continental Connection partner, probably out of terminal A...

I'm there all the time, but I fly out of all terminals so they all start running together. C is definitely the busiest, so at least you aren't going out of there.

Have a safe trip!

20. thanks, yeah I believe it is a propjet, yuck nt

3. BUSH Intercontinetal?

Bring a book.

[Initech]

7. Yeah, I think waiting 2 hours in George Bush Airport goes against...

The theme of the protest, doesnt it?

[KeepItReal]

8. It is *Houston* Intercontinental as far as I'm concerned...

:-)

[Justitia]

10. ditto, I'm there all the time - I ALWAYS call it "InterContinental" -eom

4. why sit two hours in houston. get a car and drive.

you will be there in 2 hours? and i would rather be in a car than a prison airport

15. It's almost 5 hours from Houston to Waco

He would be there even with the layover faster than driving.

[seabeyond]

17. wow. i am always amazed

how long it takes to drive texas. big, grinnin

[KeepItReal]

21. That's why they call it "Texas-sized"

I drove from Dallas to Los Angeles (one way!!)

It seemed like getting to El Paso was damn-near the whole 22 hour drive!!

[KansDem]

26. I had a friend from Houston stationed in the Navy in San Diego...

When he drove home on leave, he would take two days: Day 1 from San Diego to El Paso, then Day 2 from El Paso to Houston (that means one day to drive across California, Arizona, and New Mexico, and another day to drive across Texas).

Quite a drive...

[Horse with no Name]

22. Ain't that the truth?

I live on the Texas/Arkansas/Oklahoma border, and when I drive to Phoenix during the holidays, I drive 12 hours the first day and still am not out of Texas,lol.
Takes me about 8 hours to drive through New Mexico and half of Arizona,lol.

[Justitia]

24. On the flip side, I visited family back East & drove thru 5 states in a

single day! Wow! How cool! I was amazed and my family thought I was a laugh riot. Driving 30 min for them is almost a day trip - ha, ha, ha.

[KeepItReal]

5. Terminal E is the newest part. Has all kind of shops and food.

There is even a Papadeaux resturant in there if you like Cajun food and seafood.

:-)

[steve2470]

9. i'll have to check it out, thanx nt

[txindy]

25. Oooo, Pappadeaux!

Excellent place to spend some time! Yum! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Catherine Vincent]

13. Glad you called it Houston Intercontinental,

That's what I call it....instead of what they renamed it.:-)

[steve2470]

14. I had completely forgotten that it was named after the head Poppy nt

[KeepItReal]

18. There is a huge statue of BushDaddy in a mini rotunda just past security

In between the terminals.

I dare you to point and laugh at it!!

:evilgrin:

[steve2470]

19. LOL I don't know if I'll be up for a fistfight tomorrrow AM nt

[KeepItReal]

23. I ususally just shake my head as I walk by that statute

I don't have anything against BushDaddy, but that statue is a little over the top. They did name the whole damn thing airport after him.

[Justitia]

27. Check out our Bush statue in downtown Houston, & what happened

to it:

Houston is not all "Bush country" eh?

It's cleaned up now, but the birds poop on it every single day.

What were they thinking?
