Re: Lubbock Hotel Problems

[Guest guest]

Jan, there's a La Quinta fairly close by. I know they have airport

transportation. There's no restaurant in the hotel, although they have

one of those make-it-yourself breakfast buffets (high in carbs). I don't

know the answer to your other questions, though. When DH & I stayed

there, we had a car, so I wasn't checking the availability of

restaurants nearby.

Here's the website:

Yahoo! Messenger with Voice. Make PC-to-Phone Calls to the US (and 30+ countries) for 2¢/min or less.

Jan, when I was there last I did notice a shuttle with a sign that

said something like " Lubbock Hotel & Suites, formerly Four Points

Sheraton " . I'm not sure of the exact name, though...just did a

google and the " best rate " sites are all that came up for me, too. I

do know it had " Lubbock " and " Suites " in the name. Sorry I'm not

more help!

Jan, go here http://maps.yahoo.com/maps_result?

and click on hotels under Travel & Transportation. It will list all

the hotels in the area. You can also enlarge the map and see all the

hotels. Local telephone numbers are listed. You might try the

Guesthouse, which is about a block from Dr R's office, and it says

it's handicap accessible.

There's a steak restaurant in Lubbock that delivers a very nice

steak dinner anywhere in town. It's called " Steak " something, under

restaurants in the yellow pages, or Dr. R's office knows the name of

it. If you're only staying one night that might work for you.

There's also a Subway between the Lubbock Inn and the La Quinta.

Lol -- that's why I keep recommending it to all our hypo friends who

travel to Lubbock! Abundant iron in those juicy red steaks ...

Haha, no we didn't think ahead to bring our utensils. I honestly

don't remember those kinds of details, only that the meal was good and

it came with generous servings of salad and vegetables, baked potato,

and rolls. And we didn't have to get dressed to go out. If it was

plasticware it had to have been the good kind ...

We have Steak 2 Go delivered to the office at least once a week.

Yummy food!
