Well why not! It was a perfect opportunity to break up the long haul flight from Australia to South America; and Neil wanted to sink his teeth into the world famous Texan Ribs! This is how we spent 12 hours in Houston Texas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were heading home from Peru; the flight we chose was with United Airlines from Lima getting into Houston at 06:20am; our departing flight from Houston left at 18:30pm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12 Hours in Houston Texas<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As 12 hours is a decent amount of time; however there is no room for error so our advice is to have a plan and stick to it. Pick 1 or 2 things that you really want to do; and stick to those things, don\u2019t dilly dally and miss your international flight because that will be an expensive exercise.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The three of us; Myself, Neil and Mum decided we wanted to go to NASA Johnson Space center and to eat at a steakhouse; in our 12 hours in Houston Texas.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2161 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/NASA.jpg\" alt=\"Nasa Johnson Space Center\" width=\"89\" height=\"76\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/NASA.jpg 600w, https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/NASA-450x386.jpg 450w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 89px) 100vw, 89px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 89px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 89\/76;\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As there was the three of us we decided the quickest and most comfortable form of transport was an Uber; we were planning to get straight out to NASA and do the steak house on the way back.

You can buy your tickets at the door however that is not recommended. The reason being; is we got there early, like super early and there was already a line up to buy tickets; (before they opened mind you). We had pre purchased our tickets on line and there was an express line for those organised people. As soon as they opened the doors our tickets were checked and we were in.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tickets<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2162 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Johnson-Center-NASA-.jpg\" alt=\"Nasa Houston Texas\" width=\"122\" height=\"218\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Johnson-Center-NASA-.jpg 671w, https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Johnson-Center-NASA--447x800.jpg 447w, https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Johnson-Center-NASA--600x1073.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 122px) 100vw, 122px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 122px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 122\/218;\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official website is great, nice and easy to use. Just follow the link below to the ticketing center; the tickets for an adult are currently $29.95 online; however keep in mind you must print your ticket and take it with you on the day. It is also your ticket to skip the queue and head straight to the turn style to the fun stuff. <a href=\"https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/\">https:\/\/spacecenter.org\/<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2169 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kelley-Renee-and-Neil-in-front-of-a-space-ship-1-675x506.jpg\" alt=\"Kelley Renee and Neil in front of the Space ship\" width=\"202\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 202px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 202\/150;\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0Once inside it is a little overwhelming, there are so many \u201cStations\u201d (yes pun intended); if you look to your right will be the Star ship Gallery, the Destiny Theatre and the Mission Briefing center. In front of you will be Mission Mars and the Astronaut Gallery; however the golden tip is to head straight to the NASA tram Tour, this is included in your ticket price. The Tram runs throughout the day; however it is a first come first serve basis and being a 12 hour stop over remember your time restraints!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take the Tram Tour First!<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Head to the Tram first you won\u2019t regret it, this is an open air tram so be weather prepared! We weren\u2019t and we almost froze to death; the tram takes you to so many amazing sites such; as Mission Control Centre, A replica Astronaut Training Facility, and they save the best till last. The trams stops at a huge warehouse; yep pretty average but then you walk inside to the most breathtaking sight of a REAL rocket! The sheer size and magnitude of this rocket is amazing and something that everyone should see. The power, the engineering is mind-blowing standing next to this monster we looked like a tiny ants.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery is-style-rectangular has-rounded-corners-20\">\r\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\">\r\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\">\r\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis: 75.85741301377338%;\">\r\n<figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ourpathsmaycross.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Misson-Control-Center.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Mission Control Center\" data-height=\"675\" data-id=\"2163\" data-link=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/?attachment_id=2163\" data-url=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Misson-Control-Center.jpg\" data-width=\"1200\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis: 24.14258698622663%;\">\r\n<figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/ourpathsmaycross.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Neil-with-the-ricket-engines.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Neil in front of the Rocket Engine\" data-height=\"1200\" data-id=\"2164\" data-link=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/?attachment_id=2164\" data-url=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Neil-with-the-ricket-engines.jpg\" data-width=\"675\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\">\r\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis: 39.11529759698542%;\">\r\n<figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/ourpathsmaycross.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Renee-at-Misson-Control.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Renee at Mission Control\" data-height=\"1200\" data-id=\"2165\" data-link=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/?attachment_id=2165\" data-url=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Renee-at-Misson-Control.jpg\" data-width=\"675\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis: 60.88470240301458%;\">\r\n<figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/ourpathsmaycross.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-rocket.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Kelley and Neil in front of the Rocket\" data-height=\"675\" data-id=\"2166\" data-link=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/?attachment_id=2166\" data-url=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-rocket.jpg\" data-width=\"1200\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/ourpathsmaycross.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-space-badges.jpg?ssl=1\" alt=\"Space Badges\" data-height=\"675\" data-id=\"2167\" data-link=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/?attachment_id=2167\" data-url=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-space-badges.jpg\" data-width=\"1200\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Back to the main building<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other main attraction we recommend checking out in Independence Plaza; you can actually go inside a replica of a Shuttle carrier aircraft!

Yep best get a move on if we want to enjoy our dinner; on the way out there is a gift shop with some of the most amazing trinkets; to remember your time at NASA\u2019s Johnson Space Centre Houston. I collect snow globes from every place that I travel to; and I found a fantastic one to represent my time at the Space Centre.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Texan Ribs! &#8211; Vegetarians Look away!

The Longhorn Steakhouse is a chain that you will find dotted around America; however we speak from experience when we say this one in Texas is the very BEST.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Walking into the Longhorn steakhouse; is like walking back in time, booth style tables, the wooden chandeliers made of horns; and the cowboy pictures lining the walls. The thing that has blown us away in every Longhorn we have eaten in; is the service, the wait staff simply cannot do enough for you;(well she was slightly obsessed by our Aussie accent, which was rather cute)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The meals are massive<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course our eyes were way too big for our stomach; so we went to town and ordered an entr\u00e9e; well this entr\u00e9e was a lovely tray of fries covered in chilli mince, cheese and bacon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This would have been ok but it came out as a full sized cooking tray; however it was delicious; (mistake number one, filling up on the entr\u00e9e order a small entr\u00e9e). For mains we ordered the FULL rack of Texas style BBQ ribs each. That is what we were there for right? So why not the full rack! Well I\u2019ll tell you why because the rack came out and was as long as my arm! (Mistake number two, order a half serve of ribs)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2171 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Neil-with-Texan-Ribs-675x380.jpg\" alt=\"Neil eating his Ribs from Longhorn Steak house in Houston Texas\" width=\"800\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Neil-with-Texan-Ribs-675x380.jpg 675w, https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Neil-with-Texan-Ribs-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Neil-with-Texan-Ribs-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Neil-with-Texan-Ribs-1140x641.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Neil-with-Texan-Ribs-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/imaginedigitalmarketing.au\/opmc\/wp-content\/uploads\/Neil-with-Texan-Ribs.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 675px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 675\/380;\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This dish was incredible; the rack of ribs came with a jacket sweet potato; the interesting thing about this was they put whipped cinnamon butter on it. This one was a little odd for the taste buds but I liked it! The Ribs were delicious; perfectly cooked and covered in sauce, now keep in mind we had just eaten 1KG of fries; as an entr\u00e9e and I was struggling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Neil &#8211; \u201cKel, you are never going to finish all of them\u201d<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neil leans over to me and says; \u201cYou are never going to finish all of them\u201d that was it, the challenge was on.

Guess what Uber we got? Yes the all incredible F150 and it was the best end to the day. It was the experience we were after; everything about the 12 hours in Houston Texas; was perfect for what we wanted to see and do in our stop. We got out of the airport, saw the Space Centre and stuffed ourselves full of Texan Ribs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a 12 hour stop anywhere can turn into that memorable experience; all you need to do is have a plan; keep and eye on the time and get out of the airport.
