We just booked the Sun but for Dec 3. In La Porte - try the Kehma Boardwalk - they have a nice (kind of expensive) hotel there that might have parking. Port of Houton isn't nice - it is industrial so there is not a lot around but Clear Lake is close and so is Kehma. Maybe 15-20 min for Kehma. Just think - Galveston will be so crowded now I was glad to go out of the port of houston plus it is nice to sail the ship channel before getting to Galveston. It may be spelled Kemah.... Debbie
