Travel Tips for Galveston
Hurricane Past and Present
by msbrandysue
Galveston is recently recovering from Hurrican Ike which hit in September of 2008. They ordered everyone off the island and those who wanted to stay, could. However, the death toll was never even released because of the missing.
Much of the island was devastated. Houses were demolished, if they could even be found. Debrit can still be found and you can tell some of the houses are still without hope. Of course, many of these houses had no homeowners isurance so it'll take months and years to replace them.
The most evident destruction is that of The Flagship. The left corner was damaged, as well as the bridge leading onto the property.
But Galveston wants you to visit! When asked how could Houstonians (or anyone) help Galveston made it clear they needed their tourists. They need the business in order to afford to stay on top. Just beware that some of the attractions may not be open...such as the Seaport Museum and Pier 21 Theatre.
THE REAL GALVESTON
by DRS2211
Unlike the mythical Land of Oz; The Magical Island Kingdom of Galveston actually does exist!! It is located on the eastern end of Galveston Island, in the area bounded by the Gulf of Mexico on the South, The Ship Channel on the East, Galveston Harbor on the North and 39th Street on the West. In this roughly 10 square mile area, there is a rare convergence of very unique conditions which form a rich, textured, multi-layered way of life that is found no where else!

SIMP-ly the best soul food in town
by larsy about Simps
The portion size is outragous. If you like home cooking this is the place for you. I had a giant plate of smothered pork chops, sweet potatoes and corn on my last visit, it was one if the best meals since I moved here. On Fridays they have a seafood special.
This is a place tourist usually miss.
Moody Gardens
by WFTR
Moody Gardens is a complex of about five or six exhibits each with a different theme. One exhibit is an aquarium with sea shows. Another is a rain forest. I forget the others because I didn't have a chance to see them.
The rain forest exhibit was a nice walk through a kind of zoo area showing various features of rain forests. Birds flew freely through the exhibit, and they are accustomed to people. I saw several within just a few feet of me. This area also has a butterfly display where one can watch them hatching from cocoons and flying. The 'trail' through the exhibit has many little markers to explain various plants and animals.
