Caribbean Getaway: Friday Feb 16th
We caught a ride with our neighbor Toki to the 8am ferry - he just happened to be driving over that morning and offered us a lift. DJ (Dawnise's driver) picked us up at the ferry dock and got us to the airport spot on 9. We got checked in for the flight - chartered through ATA - and hung out in the gate waiting for our 10:45 boarding call.
The flight to Houston was mostly uneventful - though a bit bumpy. The "open bar" was something of a disappointment - I drank them out of gin - all one mini of it, and they didn't have any Kahlua or Baileys. The food was typical airline food - and I thought about skipping it, but my general rule while traveling is to eat when the opportunity presents itself as you never know when the next opportunity might be
We walked down stairs off the plane onto the tarmac and boarded waiting buses to start the 60 mile trek to Galveston.
Thanks to Houston rush our traffic, it took a good two hours before we were at our hotels. A handful of us struck out to find dinner and ended up a t "The Steak House" - which was a pricey, but pretty good, steak place in one of the hotels along the Galveston seawall. After dinner we retired to our rooms for the night.
