    I love Galveston! Being a Texan I go there every time I can, it is an island and something magical about it. Vast Texas History! Hope you enjoy the delicious seafood, go to where the locals eat. Visit the Strand. An awesome sweet community in Texas 🥰❤️🌺💖

    Galveston is the armpit of the TX coast-but for some reason, I love it there

  • @jimgolden7788

    The reason the water is so brown in Galveston, is because the Mississippi river flows down into the golf, bringing all the settlement and the golf stream comes up to the shore in this area. Down further south near corpus and South Padre Island the water is blue.

    I remember that the airports had a special lane for people who travel frequently. You had to be cleared ahead of time and put on a list of flyers who are cleared from the regular scrutiny. Maybe there is such a thing for cruise lines too.

    I can understand Don's anxiety. Almost 49 years, ago, I set off alarms at O'Hare. I was traveling with my Dad and younger sister. My Mom's casket was in the cargo hold of the plane we were taking to St. Louis. I was "wanded," patted down and questioned. Nothing was found, but the trauma has real and never left me. My left hip has set off alarms, intermittently, ever since. I'm anxious...and it shows...whenever I go through airport security.

    The last hotel is the San Luis Resort (owned by Landry - almost all accommodations and restaurants/entertainment on the Island are owned by that company). I stayed there a few times. Very nice place.

    So glad everything worked out okay for you. I'm right there with you when it comes to the coast.....I love the sound of the waves and looking out over the ocean. Don, you HAVE to make it to the Florida panhandle around Destin/Ft Walton, Panama City. The sand is so white. When they had snow recently, you couldn't tell where the snow ended and the sand begin, it seemed to all be the same color.

    Glad you made it through Don. I can imagine wondering whether the fact that you were flagged before would then move you up in the flag list based only on the fact that you were previously flagged. The system thinking, where there is smoke there is fire, even though the only smoke came from their own flags.

    Well I would say you had every reason to be nervous!!! With your crazy flight and stuff getting there. We LOVE Galveston. We were lucky to be there when the water was blue and clear, it was gorgeous. there was also swimming while we were there. We were down on the other side of Pleasure pier and so a bit west of where you are in the video. Great place though...we love it. :)

    I think Galveston could use some palm trees in the area.
    Once I saw other beaches as an adult I knew it was not the prettiest beach but it works. And when you can go in the water it is like bathtub warm water.
