I am currently booked on the Magic March 23rd out of Galveston. We are flying in the 22nd. Does it make more sense to get a hotel at the port the night before or around the airport (Houston Hobby)? Going home we are going to use Disney to get from the ship to the Airport since our flight out of HOU is at 11:30am. Can you make any recomandations as far as hotels and transfers?

Hi Dan! Wow! That's too bad! I have only heard great things about them until this point! Thank you for the feedback on them!

PART 2 -- I had about 6 min and my wife 3. Admittedly we had 3 boys to assist, but allotted time was unacceptable. On the (slow) ride back, someone said that the boat seems kind of slow, last time we made better time...the driver responded, "if I get back too quickly, we have to wait for buses". To which I commented -- "then how about we spend MORE time snorkeling?" . He said nothing. Oh well. Caveat Emptor.

Hi. I just returned from the Galveston 6-day cruise. You provided me a recommendation on Sting Ray/Snorkeling -- Capt Marvin's in Cayman's. I would suggest not recommending them anymore. My experience had a lot to be desired. Our 2.5 hour event ended up being about 40 minutes total. Sting Ray was fine despite a slow boat and dangerous parking by staff, but the snorkeling was disappointing. DAN

Hey Tammy, thanks again for all of your help with our cruise planning. We are sooo freaking excited!! :D Only 17 more days! -Kristin

Hi there,

I'm sorry for this most random private message. My name is Katie, I work for TouringPlans.com doing social media and managing the blog. I got your name from Tom Bricker. Were looking for some steady bloggers to blog about Disneyland and he spoke highly of your writing. There's more to the position and I was wondering if you were interested you'd email katie@touringplans.com.

Thank you so much,

Katie

Hi just came in search of trip reports,i love to read em but i'm not the best at searching for them i'm afraid lol

Thank you so much, Holly! I am crazy right now. This volcano is not making it better either! We fly out Thursday morning, with our JFK flight to Barcelona on Thursday night. Just pray for the Barcelona airport to be open then!

Tammy... I hope you have the most memorable and fantastic med cruise EVER!!! I bet you're crazy busy getting last minute things together today, if you haven't left already!!! I'm so excited for you and can't wait for the report to come!!

Hi Disgal! We drive through Portsmouth all the time. We have loved Newport! We are actually packing up now to move back to Colorado though. My hubby's in the Air Force so we've only been here one year. But it sure is a great area! Thanks for saying hi!

Hi Disneyfalcon - just wanted to say hi to a fellow Rhode Islander. I noticed you live in Newport - I grew up on Aquidneck Island - Portsmouth to be exact. I'm now living in Boston, but my family is still there and I'm in Newport at least once evry couple of weeks.
