Atlanta to Houston…….

Woke around 7, showered, packed and made my way out to the airport. My flight out was at 10:45 a little later than i remembered but i was there on time and stopped in the Delta lounge for some juice and breakfast.

The flight was just under two hours and i fell asleep within minutes of getting on the plane and cant even remember take off! i woke around 30 minutes later and realised id seen a sight on the outside of the plane saying “wireless enabled” they had Wi-Fi on the plane!!!

I signed on and sure enough it was a mega quick connection and i downloaded the latest episode of Gossip Girl so id have it to watch in Houston,lol I took a couple of pictures of the clouds outside and put them on my facebook page.(by the way, if anyone on here who reads my blog has facebook then drop me an e mail with your details and i will add you, i do put a few more pictures and things on facebook as I'm travelling round more than i do on here!)

The flight went really quick with being able to surf the net and i i started writing a few bits from my blog which i put up yesterday. The captain said the weather in Houston was sunny with a temperature of 75` and no chance of rain, i was happy! Took me 30 minutes or so to pick up the rental car due to the line and by 1pm i was on my way to my hotel on the outskirts of Houston. I had decided not to stay in the centre as i got a great deal on hotwire for the Omni hotel out near the Galleria mall, it was about 12 miles west of Houston but i was there for two nights and they had a great pool and gym so i knew id have some comforts for a couple of nights.

I arrived around 2pm after hitting a bit of traffic on the highway and check into my room. The view from my room isn't anything special but i could see the pool and it looked so inviting. I put my swim shorts on and headed down there for a couple of hours while the sun was still warm. I headed back to my room and a couple of hours later went for a 30 minute workout in the gym. Then headed back up to my room and chilled out. I wasn't gonna go out for anything to eat but i hadn't eaten all day, had been swimming and then used the gym so at around 8pm i had a look at what was around me online and found  a Chipotle :) i also called at the local CVS Pharmacy and picked up a couple of things including some thing to hopefully kill my throat and cold problem that's seemed to still be just kicking around.

I got back to the hotel around 9pm, got into bed, had a quick chat opn the phone to a couple of friends and the next thing i know i woke around 6am this morning.
