Well, from Houston Hobby Airport to the hotel, see:

According to the driving directions, it is 1,189.9 miles,
and an estimated 21.9 driving hours.  963.7 of those miles
are on I-10.

I'll be driving from Austin, which is relatively
close (approx 165 miles) from Houston.  A passenger/
driving assistant would be quite welcome.  But your
best bet is probably to jump on a low-priced flight.
