3 or 4 day photo trip starting from Houston USA

I will be in Houston from the 17th to the 23rd October and want to stop over for 3 or 4 days to get in some photography. I am initially thinking Cuba but wondered if any of our American friends or anybody really have any other ideas..............I enjoy street and Landscape photography.
I just looked online and cant find flights out of Houston to Cuba I guess due to the embargo...........
Anyway I also looked at Yosemite national park but that's a 4 hour flight plus a 4 hour drive and accommodation in the park is frigging expensive, so really needing some local knowledge on what and how to shoot that park (for those that know me I like to drive shoot drive shoot again).

3 years ago I went to New Orleans after a similar trip and had a fantastic time there but I have done that now so want to try somewhere else.

Another idea seeing as I don't mind driving is to rent a car in Houston and drive shot drive shoot and drive some more maybe someone can recommend a 4 day round trip with photography in mind

As always any tips or advice will be much appreciated

Galveston is an interesting town about 90 mins south of Houston. The rest of the gulf coat is also well worth a look, there are some fantastic nature Refuges along the coast , High Island at the eastern end of Bolivar Peninsula is spectacular. You could easily make this into a long trip by either going further east to New Orleans or West to Corpus Christi both very photogenic in their own ways. The whole Gulf coat is very interesting, with huge skies and lots of interest from Fishing a Shrimping boats etc.
