hi,
i was wondering if anyone lives close to Livingston or Hunstville...
im looking for a place to stay when i go (i dunno when yet).
im from holland and its very expensive to travel to TX so if anyone can help me find a place to sleep i'll be very very happy!!!
thanx!

Mara,
I am not exactly close but you are welcome to stay here with us when you do come. I went out to Livingston for a death row protest a few months back and it took me about an hour and a 1/2..
If you schedule it for March, we'll be having the PTO confrence/get-2-gether and you can join us for that too!

Hi, Mara.

There are at least 2 very inexpensive lodging options in the Huntsville/Livingston areas.

The first is the Hospitality House for people visiting inmates. Learn more here:

Huntsville Hospitality House
Capacity: 48 beds
For Reservations Contact:

The second place is the University Hotel, which is part of Sam Houston State University. Their rooms are $37/night, and it is a very comfortable, clean environment.
