Chicago to Houston: A Journey of Epic Proportions (or Not)

| How Far Chicago To Houston |
How Far is it, Really?
Let's get this out of the way: it's about 960 miles. Yes, nine hundred and sixty. That's a lot of miles, even for a country as big as the US. If you were a snail, it would take you approximately forever. But fear not, intrepid traveler! Modern transportation has blessed us with planes, trains, and automobiles (and buses, if you're feeling adventurous).
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
The Great American Road Trip: A Pipe Dream or a Possible Adventure?
Driving from Chicago to Houston is like attempting to eat an entire pizza by yourself: it's possible, but highly questionable. Sure, you'll get to see some cool stuff along the way – like endless cornfields, questionable roadside attractions, and the occasional tumbleweed – but is it really worth it? You could watch three entire seasons of your favorite TV show in that time.
QuickTip: Take a pause every few paragraphs.
Pro Tip: If you do decide to drive, invest in a good playlist. And maybe some snacks. Lots of snacks.
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.

Flying: The Sensible Choice
Unless you have a particular affinity for open roads and questionable motel accommodations, flying is probably the way to go. You'll be in Houston in a matter of hours, and you can spend that extra time enjoying a delicious margarita (or three) poolside.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
Train Travel: For the Romantic at Heart
If you're looking for a more leisurely pace, consider taking a train. It's a great way to see the country, and you can enjoy the scenery without having to worry about traffic or finding a place to pee. Just be prepared to spend a lot more time on the journey than if you were to fly or drive.
