Galveston Island

In Reply to: Gulf Coast Summer Vacation?? - looking for ideas/locations
Many years ago (1982) we vacationed in Galveston Island,Texas, which I really loved, but I'm sure it has changed a lot since then. . Key West was fun but a REALLY long drive. . My favorite ocean vacation is still the Myrtle Beach area.

Anyone know anything about Block Island in Rhode Island. nm
:
Galveston or Corpus Christi
Does anyone on here live in either of these areas? If so, have some questions!
Dump them on an island.....
let them fend for themselves.
If you are going to NJ, fly into Newark, not out on long island. sm
Anything you would gain in profit on the flight, you would eat up on transportation to NJ.
I'm from Amelia Island, Florida (sm)
If camping is not your thing, you can look up vacation rentals in the area and get great deals on condos and/or hotels during that time. It is located just past the FL/GA line so very North Florida, about 1/2 an hour before Jacksonville. It is a small island, one of Florida's oldest cities, and an old pirate town. The streets are lit up at night downtown with lights in the trees and many of the streets are brick. (Can you tell I love it?) If you are looking for a beach area with more entertainment, such as Ripley's museums, etc., a similar but somewhat busier beach town is St. Augustine, FL. I will try to find the Website I usually use when looking for rentals and post that later in case you are interested. You can get some really good deals this time of year.
LOVE Amelia Island
We went there several years ago while visiting my sister-in-law in Jacksonville - I picked out a house there and would love to live there some day - hey, I can dream.
Long Island Ice Teas
notice I said pleural here  I love em' and can drink many! What a drink!
I would take Neti to desert island. sm
Used to have to take 2 Sudafed (the real kind) and one Benadryl per day, then had to go to Allegra D every so often, just to keep ahead of my allergies. If I use the Neti Pot every day, I might have to take one sudafed a week, and we are in the Ohio Valley, which is apparently where all allergists want to live - very profitable for them, ha!
Seriously, i would take it to a deserted island if i had that option. It's that good.

try this company - in Huntington Long Island
I don't buy from them online as they only recently (last year or year before) put together the website. When you order from them, they also send 3 samples too for free. They also, twice a year, have 20% sales, in March and September. Name is Scentsational of Huntington, Long Island (NY)

Long Island IcedTea, ahhhh. just one, tho - with a straw.

Anyone live in NY City, Long Island, New Jersey area?
I have a question. If I fly to Long Island/Islip (Southwest) but really want to get to Jersey City, is there an airport shuttle or bus or something that I could take to Jersey City? And do you have any idea how much that would cost? I am not even sure where in Jersey City I need to get, probably a train station. Local train, not Amtrak, not sure what they call it there, maybe "path" or something like that.
A ballpark idea would be helpful, especially since I am not even sure where I need to get in JC. 
TIA!
Bought some Avon cologne Island Vibe - daughter came by (sm)
and tried some. She was ecstatic. Said it was the old Malibu Musk I used to buy them from Avon in the early teens. I can't even remember the name Malibu Musk. (I do however certainly remember their teen years for other reasons).
Anyone else tried this or remember the old scent. Seems like her olfactory memory was really triggered by this one. She spent a long time chatting about the "old days" over this.
I was in British Virgin Islands last week and it was 5.78 on one island we visited. Nmsg.
no msg.
Honey, I grew up on the south shore of Long Island, NY in hurricane territory...
ya know how to duck and cover. I've never been through a major earthquake or a real tsunami yet though. Hey, there's always time for that.  Cat
