I had been hearing rumors about this for a while, and am SO excited that it is now a reality. This is going to be such a great thing for the island I love so much, and such a fantastic plus for all the people who can only sail during the summer and who love the RCI experience.

I feel a rant about the short-sighted-ness of Disney Cruise Line in regards to Galveston coming on... LOL

Oh you should, Jan! Galveston is such a wonderful island... SO much history, amazing architecture, tons to do and see. Just an incredible place, and I can never get enough -- even being there a few times a month. One day I'll live there. :-)
