Thanks Marcus, yea beer sounds good to me! Man this is going to make shipping much easier from you for in stock product. BTW, Jeep is done, love the tires and the RK lift!! I'll get ya some pics soon, thanks for all your help with the orderingI can't help much in terms of where to live now but I spent quite a bit of time off of 24th street in my early 20s. This was about 10 years ago now, but it was a lot of fun being down there and I think you'll like it.
My folks have a place just across the ferry in Crystal Beach so I'll have to get with you when we go down there next spring! Beer:30!
Good luck with your move!

I went through at least 4 tropical depressions and 2 hurricanes. We evacuated for Hurricane Rita which did a lot of damage throughout east Texas/ Louisiana.
I made it through the Skype interview and phone calls. I should be flying in Thursday 12th to meet and greet type of thing. I should have the final official word Friday I'm hoping. They are paying for the flight, hotel, and rental car so I'd say they are serious about hiring me.
Thanks for the info, I have been checking out condos along he Seawall area. Id like to pay out no more than $900 which it looks like for a single guy should be no problem for a good 1 or 2 bed condo.
no worries on the highjack. If someone else can get some good info from my thread, then go ahead and ask away
Ohhh I remember Rita and Gustav. I rode out Gustav offshore on 150f boat. 35ft seas was well.... freakin scary! I'm having to be a litle picky since there still damage from Ike. I like the adds that say "no flood damage" but then everything they list is brand spankin new. I'll be meeting wth an agent who has already sent me some listings so we will see. If everything moves forward then I should be moving in next 2-3 weeks.I went through at least 4 tropical depressions and 2 hurricanes.

We moved after Rita, and then Ike came to town. I thank God that I was completely off the island by then. It's still not the same down there. Ike really messed that place up.
Still beautiful and lots to do though. I miss those early mornings....hitting the bay in my kayak for redfish and flounder.
hahah that bad for Broadwater. I have ruled that one out anyway. There another place that was recommended to me, Casa del Marr, it's in my price range but seems a bit small for what it is. I'll know more Tuesday once everyone opens back up from the 3 day weekend. As far as being crazy, it doesn't bother me. I'm used to living on beach in Florida for spring break, summer, etc... and the salt. I rinse my Jeep every day when I was on the beach, thanks for the heads up though about rustCongratulations!
Do NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT move to the Broadwater.
I lived at the Seasons for about a year. I liked it a lot but it might be a little $$$ these days...no idea. It's pretty convenient to jump on Seawall or 61st street and be able to make it to the east end if you need.
Spring and summer months living on the Seawall (..The Seasons included)...is kinda crazy. Spring Break, Mardi Gras, 4th of July, etc....becomes VERY congested up there...but you can always get around the back streets once you know the island a little better.
Random thought: Whatever you own that CAN rust but is still not rusted...will become completely oxidized withing a few weeks, living on the Seawall. The salt air will wreak havoc on metals (anywhere on the coast...but even more-so on the beach-front). Just be sure to bring the WD-40 and PB Blaster! lol
Casa Del Mar is just a couple blocks up from the Seasons...right on the corner of 61st & Seawall....so it's a big time party place during the spring/ early summer months....sounds like you can deal w/ that though...lol. Not sure of the sq footage of those units, but you've obviously seen the floor plan.
made it to Galveston and moved into the Seasons. I think I'm really going to like it here. but holly crap man the sea spray is unreal. This is def worse than the beach in Florida. hardware store here I come for PBCongratulations!
