I am booked at the Harbor House for my Dec 14 departure. Anyone know how she fared? Will she be open in December? Or should I look for another hotel?

 

They have information on their website.

 

BTW--has anyone heard about the big police bust at Club H2O? Seems the Galveston police raided a wedding party and it got out of hand and they starting busting everyone including a FEMA executive and a Houston Astros pitcher. I guess the police were frustrated with the long hours and they had done such a great job. Zero looting. Only mention as I saw Scubas post of businesses now open included H2O. Busting FEMA executives (who was only a witness) is not going to help in the recovery.
