Gulf Waters RV Resort — Port Aransas, Texas
I’ve been a busy bee this week … mostly working on details of booked excursions, finding fellow-passengers to join us, and booking new tours where plans were still in the air.
In the midst of all of this, I booked accommodations for our post-RTW overnight at IAH. You see, our flight from Miami on 6 July is scheduled to arrive in Houston at 4:40p. By the time we pick up our bags, get a cab, and get to storage it will probably be after 6:00p. The rig will be way too hot — mid-summer in Texas, dont’cha know — and there won’t be enough time to cool it down before bedtime. So we decided a hotel stay that night would be a smart thing to do.
Normally we Priceline our hotel stays. But booking.com had a decent price for a room with breakfast at the Sheraton North Houston — our go to hotel. It’s a non-refundable rate, which is OK … and a $50 savings over the Starwood pricing as of today. Could we have done better with Priceline? Perhaps, but at least I didn’t have to waste my time with multiple bids and then have to pay for breakfast on top of it.
That’s the last of the pre- and post-voyage logistics to be checked off … feels good to have it done.
