0:08.4	This weekend's episode of Cruise Radio Rewind is a request for Carnival Freedom, a cruise ship that's currently sailing seven-night Caribbean cruises out of Galveston, Texas. Kevin just returned from it and he's on the line.
0:21.1	How you doing, Kevin?
0:21.9	Hey, Doug. How are you?
0:22.7	Good. As always, we're going to take a step back here. Give us some pre-cruced thoughts about Carnival Freedom. A couple different things. I mean, first off, you know, if my wife being an academic, she really, we want to try to get something nice little vacation just before the school year started. And then also we kind of created a bucket list of some locations that we
0:21.4	want to go to. And one of them being Jamaica, which was the first stop on this itinerary. And yeah, so it's one of the ideal ship to be on for to go down to Jamaica. So you're up in the northwest and you make your way to Houston. Any pre-cruz time in Houston or Galveston? We flew in the day before,

1:44.7	Yeah, yeah, fair enough. Yeah, I never realized how far the two airports were. When I flew into
1:50.4	Houston Hobby, it was only 40 minutes from Galveston. I didn't realize that George Bush was so,
1:56.9	well, first of up, I didn't realize how far south of the city Houston Hobby was, but I also didn't
2:02.1	realize how far north George Bush was.
2:04.6	Yeah, they definitely are.
2:05.6	I mean, as a native Houstonian as well, I mean, it's a very big city.
