As you well know, Galveston got slammed by Ike. And every Galveston winner we spoke with was flattered by your honor as the Gayest & the Greatest. In a couple of months, they’re going to need your business more than ever. So make sure you hit some of these island hotspots to help our favorite Texas Riviera recover from the monster hurricane that made this storm season one of the scariest.
