Believe me, I had plans. Waking up for a sunny Saturday in America’s fourth-largest city, I was fueled by the anticipation of exploring a place I hadn’t visited in years. Striding to the floor-to-ceiling windows in my executive suite at the Four Seasons Houston, the downtown skyline spread out at my feet. So much to see. So little time.
But here’s the thing: Ttravel days often unfold very differently from what we had planned. And the best ones? Those go completely off the rails. This would be one of the latter. Standing there at the window, feeling the energy and dynamism of The Bayou City surging up at me, I never imagined I wouldn’t take one step outside today.
