The Gulf air smells of salt and diesel as your driver waits curbside with a nameplate, engine idling and luggage rack unlocked. You leave Galveston’s broad seawall behind—sand scraping the concrete—and the city’s low-slung Victorian houses recede toward the causeway. The ride to Houston William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) is a coastal-to-urban handoff: island breeze gives way to the steady hum of I‑45 traffic.
