motor coaches, hotel shuttles, rental car shuttle, parking lot shuttles,

taxis, and limousines and vans a $10.00 charge for each time they access

the cruise ship terminals.

So if your taking a motor coaches, taxis, limousines or shuttle van or
whatever form of transportation from the Houston airports or hotels to
Galveston. Your going to pay more. This cost will be past on to you,

i heard that texas has nonstop rain for the last month that it's flooeded
out there.

We (amazingly) had little water - the ditch rose to about mid way up the
yard.
The river created most of the havoc this time. The ditch was back in its
banks when the river rose.
Makes sense - the runoff filled the river.
Great pictures in the paper of texas flood.

Only true in El Paso (far west Texas). A great deal of Texas is
currently suffering from severe drought conditions. Houston has gotten
some heavy rains over the past week or so -- but certainly not enough
for flooding.
