Tulum or Bust: A Quick Guide to Escaping Houston
So, you're tired of the Houston heat, the traffic, and the constant question of "Whataburger or In-N-Out?"? Well, fear not, fellow Texan! There's a magical place called Tulum, and it's just a hop, skip, and a plane ride away.
How Far is Tulum, Really?
Let's cut to the chase: Tulum is approximately 792 miles from Houston. But who cares about miles when you're talking about paradise? It's like saying the moon is far away – sure, technically it is, but it's still a pretty cool place to visit, right?
Plane Talk: Houston to Tulum
Now, let's talk about the fun part: getting there. You have two main options in the Houston area:
- Hobby Airport (HOU): This is your go-to for shorter, sweeter flights. Think of it as the little brother of airports – less crowded, more intimate.
- George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH): If you prefer a bit more hustle and bustle (or just have more luggage than you can carry on), IAH is your jam.
Either way, the flight time is roughly around 2 hours. That's less time than it takes to watch a really bad movie!
Tulum: More Than Just a Pretty Face
Okay, so you know how to get there, but what about the actual place? Tulum is like that friend who's always effortlessly cool. It's got stunning beaches, ancient ruins, and a laid-back vibe that will make you question your entire life. It's where you go to recharge, reconnect with nature, and forget about your boss (at least for a little while).
