cantwait4cruise Posted December 31, 2010 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2010 We are a group of 5 adults that would like to find something interestingto do on the friday before our cruise. I have already looked at galveston.com . We don't want to spend alot of money and we don't want to just go to the strand to shop. The treasure island tour tram looked very interesting but it doesn't look like it operates in January. We are in galveston January 7th any suggestions would be appreciated. the sooner the better would be helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
