Great to remind people that there are many attractions in the area.
I can hardly believe that this catastrophe has gone on this long.

I’m an Alabama native and I’ve spent my entire life visiting all the beautiful Gulf states and their beaches. My best childhood memories come from spending time in a 1950′s era beach front cottage on Panama City Beach with my mom,sis and granny. Then, as a teenager, my best friend’s parents owned a trailer in Destin. Wow ! Talk about freedom ! We would pack the Ford Galaxy with kids and drive all night to get there ASAP. We just could’nt wait to begin our sun burns. Now, as a mom, we go every year to one of the Panhandle beaches. I paid my deposit before the tragic oil spill and I still plan on going in July.
There are NO other beaches that can compare to the Gulf Coast !

Great post about tourism and keeping your vacation plans going even with the tragic oil spill! Other on shore activities can keep those plans intact. All of our favorite places will be welcoming us. Enjoy the pools, good food, water parks, inland fishing with a local guide. Take the kids to volunteer with local organizations and give back where needed. I plan on visiting our fav old haunts spill or no spill.

We’re leaving Wisconsin to travel to the Gulf on Tuesday. We’ve gone every year for the past 8 years or so and won’t let the oil spill stop us. We didn’t let Katrina stop us either. Yes, it was depressing and sad to see the devestation but felt it was the least we could do to support the economy. There will still be plenty to do on land but if they’ve cancelled some of the “water” tours it will be disappointing. But I’m hoping that every dollar we spend as tourists will be an encouragement to the businesses that once again will be hard hit. Biloxi, Bay of St Louis and New Orleans are on the itinerary. It doesn’t sound as though the beachfronts have been hit yet but guess we’ll find out when we get there.

For the past 6 months we’ve been planning our multigenerational family vacation to the Florida Panhandle. We’ve booked our condo and set tentative plans for daily activites including deep sea fishing, swimming with the dolphins, and lounging on the sugar white beaches. We still have time to cancel our condo and get a full refund.. but unfortunately, I’ve been unable to find other lodgings on the Ocean side of Florida, prices are double what we’ve paid already, and the majority of resonable priced condos are booked. We will have to have a family discussion to decide what we will do.
