Thanks for all the great suggestions for our visit to Houston. Although the Texans lost 31-2, Beyonce/Shaboozey/Post Malone made up for it. The Trans-Siberian Orchestra was awesome. River Oaks Christmas lights shined. The walk around the Woodlands was relaxing. Special food shout-outs to Henderson & Kane; Papadeaux; Ninfas and even Torchys (for the delightful service).

I’m relocating to the US from an international rotation to work in Galveston. I have never been to Texas and I am trying to find the best spot for my family to live in. So far from reading online it sounds like Pearland is a good option but I have not been able to validate that/ figure out what other options are out there. I would appreciate all advice:
1. Would you recommend living in Pearland?
2. What are other good areas to live in? Safe and would like to be less than 1 hour from Galveston.
