Default So where you flying for Turkey Day?

To Mom's in Houston as usual.

Last year we arrived during a rush and got wedged in amongst the
rapid-fire stream of 737s into Hobby. The Houston controllers are very
used to this--there's a lot of light GA at Hobby--and do a great job.

If it's VMC, this is some fun flying, as you get a vectored sightseeing
tour of the city on the way in. If it's IMC, expect a workout. You
will have to fly a STAR into town, followed by a bunch of vectors and
stepdowns, maybe finishing with a side-step off the approach--but, heck,
all that stuff's fun, too.
