- The Straight Shot: Buckle up, buttercup! By car, you're looking at a cruise down I-45 for about 290 miles (or roughly 4.5 hours). Think of it as a chance to catch up on all those podcasts you haven't gotten around to yet.
- The Scenic Route: Maybe you're not one for interstates. You crave the open road, the wind in your hair (or the AC blasting because, let's face it, Texas heat is no joke). Well, fret no more, meanderer! There are backroads aplenty that'll add some extra miles (and maybe a pit stop at a quirky roadside attraction) to your trip. Just be prepared for a slightly longer journey (think 5-ish hours).
But wait, there's more! For those of you who like your travel with a side of jet fuel, there are even flights between Dallas and Galveston. We're talking a quick hop over the state, clocking in at around an hour.
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.
Now, here's the important part (and the punchline, if you will): No matter which route you choose, that distance between Dallas and Galveston is nothing compared to the fun you'll have once you get there. So pack your swimsuit, your sense of adventure, and maybe a map (just in case), and get ready to conquer Galveston!
Tip: Reread the opening if you feel lost.
