Most attractions in Galveston Kemah are now open.http://www.galveston.com/default.asphttp://www.moodygardens.com/http://www.kemahboardwalk.com/flash_cont��
Almost everything on the Seawall is open. If you go down to The Strand which is the downtown area you will find some shops and cafes open but there is still a lot of rebuilding needed.
No offense, but there is nothing romantic about Galveston.

I do not have figures for all of the things you mentioned as some don t apply to me, but hopefully this will give you some idea.This is based on the Natick/Framingham/Sudbury/Wayland area using Natick property tax rates. Other than tax, water and sewer all other rates are about the same in this area.Tax on a $300K 1valuation home $3027 (Natick property tax rate of $11.09/1K). Home Insurance ~$600/yr Tax 2008 model car valued at $12K $1800Electricity ~ $150/mo ($1800/yr) assuming non electric heat no a/c2Cable/Phone/Internet (320+ mb/s dn/3.5+ mb/s up, Verizon FIos w/all premium ch.) ~$150/mo ($1800/yr)Gas heat hw balanced billing ~$150/mo ($1800/yr)Groceries for two $175/wk ($9100/yr) Assumes no alcoholic beverages.Mortgage not included (don t have one! :) ).Vehicle fuel cost not included (too variable).Vehicle insurance $1500 (2 vehicles, older models, clean driving records)Not sure about water/sewer, $0 if you have a well and a septic tank.1Valuation may not reflect market value and may be higher or lower.2Your choice of cable providers and services available varies by town and area. The most common are Verizon, Comcast and RCN. Rates are usually pretty close to each other.3Tested using http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ 5 minutes before this posting.Total for what I have values for. $19627 for a year.Hopefully this is at least some help to you. Good luck!

The CA website says you must be totally or partially unemployed when you file. Chefgrille has given you some incorrect information, in that you don t have to wait until the next quarter to apply.
I filed for CA unemployment once when I was laid off (yes, I knew the lay-offs were coming and I was already looking for another job). I filed the day after I got the notice and was denied. It goes by quarters. I missed that quarter and had to wait 3 more months to try to refile, then I got it.
Ideally if you knew that date on which you will be unemployed... you would be looking really hard for a new job to start then or soon after, even if it is just a low-wage unskilled job to get to buy till you find something better!
You cannot file ahead of time. That would be foolish if the state allowed that to happen.
Google Maps says it s 233 miles, 4 hours 12 minutes http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d source=s��Their route has you going through Victorville though. Why you should avoid Victorville, I don t know.
Go north towards Edwards Air Force base,and cross to Barstow on route 58. It should take you about 4 hours if traffic is low. Don t go to Victorville.
Just made this trip. 4hr if you take the pearlossom hyw to I15. There is lots of traffic on Fri however.
kinda hard to answer your question without any mention of what interests you two or if you are planning on staying the night anywhere in between, but i know that stretch of coast well and can tell a couple places that i love to visit.first is santa barbara, which you probably know pretty well if you are living in the ventura area. state street downtown is pretty nice for walking and eating, el capitan state park a little bit north of goleta has some beautiful secluded tidepools and beaches. from there, id personally suggest just taking 101 into san luis obispo rather than trying to trace any part of the 1, which is not actually on the coast and pretty dull between the two cities. SLO has a nice little downtown with some shops and restaurants, and nice mission that has a quaint courtyard out front and a terraced patio inside. just outside of SLO is avila beach, which is a nice little beach area to spend an afternoon. there s also some hot springs and a resort out that way.here s where you want to get on the 1.north of san luis is a little coast town called cayucos which is really scenic, north of that is san simeon and hearst castle. it s definitely worth looking into one of their tours if the castle is still open this time of year. that place will blow you away.beaches full of elephant seals lead from here into big sur, maybe the single most beautiful stretch of highway in california. there isnt much here, a few trails up into the mountains, and a few turnouts to stop and stare down at the ocean, and a few hidden places if you know where to look like the henry miller library. north of that is carmel, and if you like hiking around through groves of monterey cypresses and above colorful ocean coves, stop at point lobos state park. there s a few relatively easy loop hikes that make you feel as if youve just gotten lost in paradise. and past that is monterey, which is probably one of the nicest towns in the state. have fun.
Yes, opened about a month or so ago. Hear good reviews!http://www.thebevomill.com/
Try Vail or Breckenridge, Colorado.
Portland, Me. Even though there is guaranteed snow, the air is not super cold. Plus you have the beauty of the lighthouses and ocean shore and of course skiing.
Daytona Beach on the East coast of Florida, or Tampa on the west coast of Florida.
Waikiki is a fun, exciting place! Yes, the isolated, serene beaches on the rest of Oahu and the other islands are beautiful, but there is a reason why many people start and end their trip here and why most resorts are located here: It s a fun, tropical urban beach environment that is like no where else in Hawaii. Think Rio de Janeiro or South Beach, Miami .* The City of Honolulu sponsors free hula shows near Duke s statue (ask around, everyone knows where it is), I believe 3-4 times a week right now. The performers are NOT just low-caliber dancers, these are serious hula schools (called halaus ) and if you like it, they change the performers each time so they are never the same.http://www.govisithawaii.com/2007/12/13/��* If you are there on a Friday, the Hilton Hawaiian Village has free fireworks on the beach, usually about 8PM or so. Hopefully, you will have a chance to walk down the main street (Kalakaua Avenue) on a Friday or Saturday night when everyone is here, along with street artists and locals.* It is a tourist shopping arcade now, but you should at least check out the International Marketplace once, on the east side of Waikiki (near the Westin Moana and Hyatt). The real banyan tree with multiple trunks is amazing. If you decide to buy from one of the shops here, bargain like crazy.* If I were to choose one place to eat in Waikiki and it was my first time, I would choose Duke shttp://www.dukeswaikiki.com/* Waikiki is the PERFECT place to learn to surf...the waves come in low and consistently without breaking, and there is a nice, sandy bottom if you wipe out . Your hotel concierge will probably recommend one of two or three large surfing schools on the island, the main one being Hans Hedemann Surfing School.http://www.hhsurf.com/hh/* On the far east side of Waikiki is Kapiolani Park, with its zoo and aquarium. An outdoor venue, the Waikiki Shell is also located there, and is a fun place to see a concert. And beyond Kapiolani Park is the very edge of Waikiki in the Gold Coast area (right under Diamond Head) which is primarily residential. There is great snorkeling here, as well as a romantic restaurant called the Hau Tree Lanai which has a terrace right on the beach. The most reliable place to rent snorkel equipment (don t buy cheap equipment on-the-spot, you will regret it if it does not fit snugly and leaks water) is Snorkel Bob s which rents by the day or week.http://www.snorkelbob.com/cgi-local/Soft��* If you want to do a luau in Waikiki, most people will tell you that the Royal Hawaiian (the grand dame of historic Waikiki resorts) has the best one, you need to book it in advance. For the best hula, have dinner at the House Without A Key at the 5-star Halekulani Resort (near Trump Tower) to see Kanoe (kah-no-ay) Miller perform it (she was a former Miss Hawaii). And finally, there are a variety of nightclubs and dinner shows you can spend additional $$$ at if you want, ask your concierge who is headlining or look in one of the free weekly tourist publications you will see everywhere.* Besides the Ala Moana Shopping Center which is adjacent to Waikiki on the west side past the Hilton Hawaiian Village and Ilikai, there is a lot of international $$$$$ which drops a lot of bucks for designer items in Waikiki, and prices in this area are really geared to them. You will see the shops (Gucci, Prada, Hermes, Ferragamo, duty-free, etc.) both in the shopping center fronting the Royal Hawaiian, as well as along Kalakaua s west side near Trump Tower. For reasonable shopping, I think most locals will agree Ala Moana Shopping Center is a better buy.P.S.- Don t forget to sit on the beach ;-)
I recommend taking a catamaran ride. The cats pull right up onto the beach and the people who work on them will announce that they re leaving again in a half hour (or whatever). It s usually about $20 and lasts an hour. They re really fun! I live on Kauai and visit Oahu frequently, but I always take a catamaran ride with my son when we re there. You ll love it!ETA: I tried to email you back but can t for some reason. The catamarans pull right up onto Waikiki Beach near the Royal Hawaiian (pink hotel) and the Moana Surfrider next door. You don t have to go across town for that. :) They re right there! And if you re sitting on the beach, you ll see the cats when they re out sailing. Waikiki Beach itself is long but very narrow (i.e., not far from the sidewalk to the water), so you really can t miss them. They don t go out in high winds or when the water is rough, so hopefully you ll have some nice, calm days while you re visiting. Two of the catamarans names that I remember are Maitai (which I believe is blue and white) and Na Hoku, which is red and yellow. You REALLY can t miss them...don t worry! Have a great trip!
I really love waikiki - not only for the beach but the amazing people watching, you will find folk there from all over the world!Check out the webcam at the Duke Kohanamoku statue Waikiki is a great place to learn to surf with a safe and gentle break - also good for body boardingYou can get in a bit of snorkeling in some areasThere are movies on the beach a few nights a week, free hula a few nights a week and fireworks on fridaysEvery night there is a torch lighting ceremony that is cool to seeJust down the beach is the Waikiki AquariumAgain, I love waikiki and can easily spend a day there sunrise to sundown before I continue my exploration of the amazing island of Oahu =)Aloha!
Try this restaurant at the Pacific beach hotel. You can watch them dive in a large indoor ocean tank and feed the fish while you are eating. Make your reservations for about 6-615pm, I think they dive in the tank about 6:30pm. See web site for info.http://www.pacificbeachhotel.com/?/Dinin��
