I was in Houston a few years ago, and I thought Galveston was a comparatively nice seaside place that has a certain charm...maybe it changed? Isn't it only a 1/2 hr drive?

Galveston is not too far away. Depending on the time of day, 1\2 hour to 45 minutes is do-able....Phil

well, i can tell you that you won't be having trouble finding mexican food. I was in Houston visiting HPaq last august and ate mexican 3 nights in a row... it was damn good.

Tell me what types of activities you would like to do. I'm not the downtown person, but I can make a couple of phone calls and get the goods for you. You really need to head south and check out the Galleria area....plenty of shops, bars and food. It's not to far from you....should be around 10 miles or less....Phil

Galveston is about 45 min from downtown in the middle of the day. I used to live in the Clear Lake area and trust me.... weekdays after 5:00........... It's prob 1.5-2 hours. Like others mentioned... the Galleria area is nice. There are some really nice bars and dining in downtown as well as mid-town. Ibiza is a great little place on the edge of downtown. As a bit of a spanish flare to the food and great spanish wine selection. Vic & Anthony's is downtown if you want a good steak.

Galleria area is a good rec.


(Don't forget the Men's Club of Houston on Sage road near the Galleria )
