Galveston B&B - 162 Days and Counting!

The Villa Bed and Breakfast is now booked for the one night before the cruise begins.  We will have the Provence Room.  Seems fitting since we will also visit the Provence area when in France.  Take a look if you would like.  The Provence Room.  We have been researching transportation from HOU (Houston Hobby Airport) to Galveston Island.  Unfortunately, due to the damage from Ike this is not a "valid location" to drop a rental car at his time.  That might change.  If not, we will take the Galveston Limo Service, which is really just vans or mini buses with door to door service.  That would work as well for us too at $30. each for seniors.  However, we might check into simple public transportation (a bus) as well.  Anyway, the room looks so amazing with a Jacuzzi tub for two!  Maybe we will spend our time there relaxing instead of exploring Galveston. We will be leaving home at 5am with a 6:45am flight and ultimate arrival time of 11:45 am in HOU. This should put us into Galveston around mid afternoon.  Since we sail at 5pm the next day, there really isn't a lot of time to explore, but hopefully we can see a few highlight in the area.

Now I'm just plain jealous - and you haven't even left the US yet!
