Flying to Houston to see the folks.

Haven't made up my mind if I'll land at Sugar Land or Hobby. Hobby is
closer to Mom's and has more ILS approaches, but Sugar Land has fewer
ground
hassles and spam cans don't get vectors all over the county to get there.

I used to have my plane based out of Hobby... It's not that bad of an
airport for GA... I was based over on the south side of the airport at
FletchAir and it was usually a short taxi to a midfield 12R (at Kilo) or 04
(at Juliet) for takeoff... Landings usually ended with a turnoff at Kilo
from 12R or 12L, from Hotel on 18/35, or from Juliet or Mike on 04/22... The
way the weather has been lately, you probably won't need an ILS approach
anyway...

Traffic near SGR sucks due to road construction if you are heading south on
TX-6... Seems that there always is a train at the intersection of TX-6 and
US-90 every time I go that way... Another option might be AXH... I base my
plane there... There's also Manvel (nice grass strip) and Pearland... If you
are renting a car, some of the airports are going to be easier to arrange
that at than others...
