Consejos para la ciudad
Facilidad para moverse por la casa
Rental vehicles are very useful to travel though Houston
Houston is HUGE! I recommend having access to a vehicle. Most places have places to park so that will not be an issue. There are plenty of rideshare options but could become costly if you are planning on visiting numerous places.
Qué debes empacar
Bring light clothes if traveling during summer
Houston can get hot and humid during the summer months. You may change a lot of clothes during your stay if you have an action packed agenda that includes outdoor activities.

How to use y’all in a sentence
The best-known word in the Southern vernacular is probably our most-loved pronoun: y'all. A contraction of "you" and "all," "y'all" is used when addressing or referencing two or more people. Though "y'all" is inherently plural, in the instance of addressing a larger group of people, "all y'all" is more of a casual phrase that's sometimes used. Like how all soda is called Coke and all tea is sweet unless otherwise noted, "y'all" is a key piece of Southern verbiage that's deeply engrained in our culture.
