    OK, I saw other posts stating that I should mention what food types and things like that.

    We're not really looking for Mexican and we want a place where entrées are $30 or less. Thanks for the Mexican suggestions though as we might still try one out.

    More questions about flying with Southwest. When you do check-in at 24 hours before your flight online, are you basically assigned a boarding number then or when are actually get to the ticket counter? I've read multiple reviews of the Early-Bird Check-In and it appears to be mixed, some people say it is worth and others say that it is not. My family has booked 21 seats on this flight so I am thinking that we have a pretty good shot at getting a selection of seats as long as we check in online early.

    Harrisment, I have heard about Treasures plenty on this board and I am interested in that one the most. My uncle is intent on going to one that is fully nude, is it? Now my sister actually wants to go too. :grin:

    We're staying in Pasadena at an aunt's house but the wedding is in Porter. We'll get there Thursday evening and have Friday free and the wedding is Saturday but we'll have a lot of that day free too. We leave on Sunday. As you can see, we're trying to squeeze a lot in our short time there. :)

    Oh God I wouldn't go into one of the all nude ones. Those are 18+ and they are BYOB - they don't sell alcohol at these establishments. Those are the dirtier places around town. Hell any strip club is dirty, but you'll run into some shady ass characters if you go to one of those all nude spots. That would be the last place I'd recommend someone go that is visiting our city, unless they are looking to score some meth.

    We have family in Pasadena and Clear Lake which are not far apart. The wedding is in Porter. We will be staying with family to save money and have more visit time.

    Uh...I'm pretty sure there are no strip joints in Porter....and there's a damn good reason for that....which you will no doubt discover as soon as you get there...

    If you're looking for a really good burger joint, on the other hand, you should stop by Pete's. 59N, exit 1314, right on 1314, right on 494. Get the bacon cheeseburger with onion pedals. Thank me later.

    Hmmmm, is Porter like my hometown? lol

    I'll keep that in mind. Isn't there a sandwich place that people on this BBS go gaga for?

    Analyzing tactical data and other schematics, here is a top secret map containing directions/location of The Galleria

    http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q...=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl

    It's a little pricey, but you won't find another mall/shopping center in Houston like it (even though Memorial City is really nice too).

    Yeah Porter kind of has the reputation as being somewhat white trash/trailer park. I've only been out there once so I can't say whether or not that is a fair description.

    Well, yes, Arkansas and Porter probably share many similarities.

    As far as your last question about Southwest goes...

    The Early Bird is not worth it. If you check in right at 24 hours from the flight, you're not going to get any worse that a B group...which still will give you at least a choice of a window or aisle.

    So we are assigned are spots once we do online check in, right?? So as long as I do that, it doesn't matter when I show up at the airport because my spot in line is reserved, correct?

    This is correct, just make sure you are on your computer checking in at exactly 24 hrs before your flight to get the best boarding pass number. You can then print out your boarding pass and take it with you. And yes, it doesn't matter when you show up at the airport. They will announce over the loud speaker when it is time for everyone to line up to board the plane, usually about 20 minutes or so before the flight is scheduled to leave.

    Just remember, don't fall for the purse on a string trick in the big city.

    I'll be sure not to. ;)


    Hey, is Babin's still open in Kemah? I really liked that place when we went there during our last trip.

    According to their web site they are. When we go to Kemah we usually head to Landry's for the seafood stuffed jalepenos.

    Come to the Westchase area, there is a sweet Food Town market on the corner of Briar Forest and Wilcrest.

    Once we have done online check-in our boarding number is saved. Do we need to print the boarding passes out or will they do that at the airport? We already have to fill out boarding documentation for my daughter so if they can do it there I'd just rather wait instead of going to look for a printer.:)


    Sorry for the questions, it's been a while.
