Galveston Island -- Luxurious Enjoyment with Least Money (Second Revision)

BY Judy Ting

Sunshine and relaxation wait for you there.

  Does an extravagant vacation always cost you lots of money? Everyday we live a busy and stressful life, hoping one day we can get rid of the pressure, take a trip to a beautiful island and enjoy the tropical atmosphere. Now we don't have to worry about money and distance. We are able to spend our holidays in a five-star resort whenever we want. Don't think it is impossible; just try our new choice -- Galveston Island in Second Life!
  In fact, since 2007 the Tourism Bureau of Galveston have bought a virtual isle in Second Life and constructed the city according to the real one. Instead of taking a flight, we can arrive there in a second and relax ourselves with only a bit of money, like the charge for facilities. There are so many in/outdoor activities and cultural heritages that we can take part in.
  When we reach the island, the first sight we would see is Galveston Historical Center. Many old pictures and information about the town are available there. The documents show that although hurricanes "visit" Galveston frequently, this island still tries to preserve its historic monuments such as Bishop's Palace in Victorian style, and develop modern entertainment to stir world's desire. Actually it is a place full of vigor, with the smell of culture pervading the whole city. Later three giant pyramids would attract our attention. They are called "Moody Gardens," which respectively are Aquarium, Rainforest and Discovery Pyramid. We can enjoy the pleasure of being surrounded by marine life and wild animals. Besides, you can watch IMAX 3D films about the life of fishes and tropical creatures.
  After visiting these places, we would have known more about the history and environment of Galveston. Now we can go to the amusement park to play pirate ship, water slide and Ferris wheel, or just go surfing and take a sun bath on the beach. At night, it is a good choice to go to a live concert at the Seawolf Park, relaxing ourselves completely through the wonderful music. Perhaps we can also choose to enjoy our nightlives in clubs. Actually there are so many possibilities and options in Galveston, which worth us spending a long time to explore. But at last, just don't forget to check in at the Hilton hotel, have a good sleep and welcome the next day to come.
  Galveston Island in Second Life provides us with a way to escape from our annoying daily lives. Although we are not able to have a vacation on a beautiful tropical island now, we still can find our comfort there. Remember, besides to use our sensory organs to enjoy the trip, we still have to use our minds to "feel" this place. With sunshine and relaxation, you spend limited money, but earn unlimited joy.

All types of attractions and leisure facilities seem to be very interesting. I would like to see some pictures about them.

I do not understand the sentence: "Full of sunshine and relaxation wait for you."

You place emphasis on least money spent, but I wonder what the entrance fee is. Is it free of charge or do you need to pay for some facilities?
