If my husband retires next year, I MAY BE living in Texas. I LOVE Texas and was born there, but my kids and grandkids are here in CA. My sister lives in Katy, TX, so I'm hoping to stay with her or be living near Houston in 2009. I hope you all can find accommodations--there are so many communities a little ways out from Houston--you would need to rent a car, though. Could someone out there tell me what parking at the convention center is like and also about traffic coming into Houston? I live in the Los Angeles area, so nothing scares me!

I stayed at the Hyatt. It's a bit pricey, but if a couple of people could share a room, it sure would help. The shuttle bus goes to the Hyatt and the only problem I had with it was standing in line to board one night after the show.

I've heard about many staying at the Holiday Inn Express MUCH cheaper

terribly disappointed

My husband and I went to Houston for the Quilt show. He visited a friend and I enjoyed my time at the show.

Tried to book Hilton of the America’s this morning at the appropriate time and was SOLD OUT!

Well the quilters rate is sold out and I can’t afford the higher rates.

Where did you stay when you went to the show. I’ve stayed at the 4Seasons but their not booking yet and I’ve stayed at the Doubletree(too far). Any suggestions?
