Location and Lodging

All sessions will be held at the Doubletree Hotel in downtown Houston.  Home base for Continental Airlines, Houston is served by all major airlines, including Southwest (low fares).  Houston’s downtown boasts the Wortham Theatre housing the Houston Ballet and the Houston Grand Opera, Jones Hall (home to the Houston Symphony) and the Alley Theatre (frequent stage for productions of plays by Edward Albee, who serves on the faculty at UH). In addition to downtown, the Doubletree Hotel provides easy access to the Metro Rail line, which runs to the Museum District, Rice University and the Texas Medical Center. Eating out is one of the local sports and there are truly remarkable restaurants of every imaginable variety.  March is our best weather month—highs in the 80s, lows in the 50s, azaleas blooming.
