I have quite a few friends from Dallas and Houston. Although I have never lived in either of these cities, I feel like I have because I have not only spent time in both of the cities, but because my friends talk about them so frequently, I feel like I know both cities like the back of my hand. I always find it humorous when my friends from Dallas start trying to talk about their city being superior to Houston, while my friends from Houston try to make the point for their city being the best. Both of these cities are quite large, and I enjoy visiting them both, but in the eyes of people who live there, their home city is much better than the other one.

Just over a month ago, I took my most recent trip to Houston. Even though I simply stay with one of my friends when I go to Houston, I always get my own rental car. The reason for this is because we are always on different schedules, and having a rental car is an easy way to avoid running into any potential transportation problems.
