            The fourth largest city in the U.S., Houston is easily accessible from any point on the globe and renowned for its hospitality. The weather in early April tends to be spectacular, and there are always numerous cultural, culinary, and entertainment attractions to enjoy. Houston is a vibrant international city that heartily enjoys its tradition of being a place of firsts. General Sam Houston, the city’s heroic namesake, was the first president of the Republic of Texas. Houston, the city, was the first word spoken from the surface of the moon and the first to build an air-conditioned sports stadium.
