*****October 24th******
If you have never been to a Candlelight Event at the Lone Star Flight Museum at Ellington Field, they have great shows set in the setting of the hangers at the museum. We went to a Flamenco Concert that reminded us of our time in Barcelona, Spain. In October for Halloween they will be having: Candlelight: A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics. A String Quartet will be playing songs like Thriller, a song from Beetlejuice and so much more. They are great experiences and a short getaway in the Houston area.

News
As I have mentioned before, for those going to Europe or the UK coming up in 2025 there will be changes in the process for non-EU or UK citizens that currently do not require a VISA like US and Canadian will need to fill out an Electronic Authorization form and pay a small fee. You will have to answer a few questions about yourself and your trip. The dates for these measures have fluctuated and been pushed back a few years. See the links below for more details:
