It's not the distance. I wonder the safety of the walking route. FFM

Whilst at Houston I would like to send some of my luggage (1 case) to an address in USA. Is there any post or courrier service at the airport I can use (on a Sunday)? Yes, but probably need to take a taxi to it since it's about 1 mile from terminals, near the freight shipping docks. They're open until midnight every day of the year. Pretty scary to imagine 1 mile being considered beyond walking distance. miguel |

FFM From crime or from poor pedestrian facilities? I have no particular basis for this other than conjecture, but it seems to me that with all the security around (police cars everywhere, etc.) there wouldn't be much to fear in the way of crime. As for the other concern, I guess some airports are really only for the adventurous pedestrians. I recall a walk from PHL on a long layover that wasn't necessarily a whole lot of fun (darting across freeways, etc.). miguel -- Hit The Road!

It is not directly connected to a highway. -- Binyamin Dissen http://www.dissensoftware.com |

It's probably difficult to get a taxi around the post office. And in my experience, there's always a long queue in US post offices, hence getting the taxi to wait may be a tad expensive. |

om: 1 mile=20 minute walk.. Walk at IAH? In the terminals, yes, but there's a notable shortage shortage of sidewalks outside. I suspect that should one try to walk to the post office, he/she would likely be stopped by the gendarmeres (or by guys with big butterfly nets), were he able to evade being run down like a stray possum by crazed rednecks, hung over from a long Saturday night in beer joints, roaring about in big-tired pickemups (with loaded gunracks to dispatch any still-flopping road kill).
