Hey guys. Long time. Coming down a week from Sunday. For the locals; Do y'all think the Gulf will return to its normal beauty by then? In looking at the cams, it's still awfully mucky. Thanks!

I honestly don't think I've posted here in years. Good to be back! Would really like to find a rate for a last-minute trip down this weekend. What is the best source of finding last-minute rates for places that would otherwise go un-rented? Since my divorce, I haven't had the money to come down...

Hi guys! Long time, no post. We are down at Santa Rosa with our 4 and 6-year-olds. Can someone direct me to a good casual lunch spot that has good oysters and fish sandwiches and such? Going out at night is no longer an option. TIA!

Hi guys, anyone know how often they do this? Can't find any info on their events calendars. Thought it might be a cool way to spend an evening or two when we are down at High Pointe with the kids in a couple weeks. TIA!

No, seriously, I'm back from my self-imposed sabbatical from all message boards. Have missed you guys! Now, if I can just get myself through this little football game tomorrow nite, all will be well.

The JB familiy is, quite unexpectedly, heading down next week with a 3-year-old and 19-month-old in tow (and a babysitter. Yes!). Seacrest will never be the same. PM me if anyone will be around.

Hi guys. Long time, no post. High Pointe has become our place of choice because it's so kid friendly and we like the units there. I know a few board member own places there. Anyone have a gulf front unit available in mid-May at the spring rate? Replies appreciated!

But this may be the funniest college mascot video of all time. I assume this was prior to the 05 Bama/UF game. Certainly, this video dictated the tone of that game: YouTube - Big Al Takes Out Gator Edit: In looking at the script in the endzones and no upper deck over the north endzone...

Say, for example, I called a rental agency on a Thursday telling them I needed a place for the next two nights, what kind of discount could I expect? I have never tried this before, but one would think a company would offer some kind of discount so the place at least doesn't go un-rented.

Not sure how many golf fans we have here, but what this man just did on the back nine at the US Open defies anything I've ever seen. No competitive golf for Tiger since April, coming off knee surgery and providing drama like that? Unreal. All this while he was in obvious pain. I have never...

So....we get to the Wells bridge about 2 p.m Thursday and had a fairly uneventful trip the rest of the way. Turned into Watersound and....wow. What an amazing development. More on that later. Unpacked and headed straight to the beach. Bit of a long walk, but the boardwalks that wind through...

So...here I am trying to get ready to head that way tomorrow and I've lost my good pair of sunglasses. Any recommendations along 30-A with good selection of medium-priced polarized shades? Thanks!

Hi all, For those familiar with my lodging habits in SoWal, you know we are creatures of habit. We stayed in the same house at BMB for 10 years. When we had kids, we moved to High Pointe. However, the wife and I want to get away for New Year's - - just the two of us. We like nice...

For those who don't know who Siran is, he was an All-SEC tailback for Alabama in the late 80's/early 90's. Good football player, even better guy. This is just....horrible. http://www.dothaneagle.com/gulfcoasteast/dea/local_news.apx.-content-articles-DEA-2007-11-20-0020.html

Nice win last night. I post this link not to tick off any of the Auburn folks, but this is as sorry/low class as it gets. This one cheap shot could have cost Dorsey millions. YouTube - Auburn Cheap Shot on LSU's Glenn Dorsey

I have a pair I need to sell. We can't go due to the new baby coming in a few weeks. Pretty good seats in the lower level sideline. PM if interested

Of Deer Lake State Park. Check it out. Is that some kind of jetty sticking out into the gulf? If so, I've never noticed it before.

The Orlando Sentinel is reporting Billy Donovan has been offered and has accepted the head coaching job of the Orlando Magic. Color me surprised. He passes up Kentucky (arguably the best college job in existance) to coach in Orlando? I just don't get it. I guess guys like Bruce Pearl, Mark...

Does anyone know the closest liquor store to the Publix at Inlet Beach? Thanks!

Last year, someone here gave me a killer margarita recipe. Unfortunately, a search could not find it. All I remember is it was very simple and included only tequila, frozen limeade and beer. Anyone remember, or have a similar recipe. Thanks!

So.......what's the water like? Still cold? Warming up? Anyone swimming yet? Any sign of June grass or sargassum? We managed to finagle a short trip down late next week and I just wanted to know what to expect.

Is this place still open or not? Their website is still working. I need one more take-out container of smoked tuna dip so I can die happy.

Not sure if this is the right folder for this, but is anyone familiar with the Jacksonville Beach area? I just rented a condo there for September's UA/FSU game. Just interested in any recommendations for restaurants (no chains, please), cool bars and other stuff to do. Thanks in advance.

A friend just called to tell me about this music festival being held somewhere near Tallahassee in November. He told me Dread Clampitt AND the Drive By Truckers would be playing this event, along with Tishamingo and a bunch of others. He said it was on some farm about 20 miles north of...

Anybody have a good one?

For years, I have always heard that the alcohol content of local beer is lower than other places due to the proximity of military bases. Truth? Myth? Inquiring minds want to know.

Does anyone have any info on this property? Due to all the seawall construction at BMB, we are looking at shifting our reservation to this property. Also, any info on the condition of the beaches in this area is appreciated.

I never hear any mention of the restaurant here. Does anyone have any experience with it? Is it worth trying?

Hi all, I did a search for this before posting and could not find anything, although I'm certain this question has been asked before. So if someone could please indulge me... Does anyone know where we might rent a crib and high chair for our annual trip this May?

Well, we are almost to October. Normally, the time of year when I start eating as many oysters as I can get my hands on. Problem is, the oyster beds in Louisiana are, for all intents and purposes, gone. I know Acme at baytowne wharf still gets their oysters from Lousiana (or at least they did...

I'll be down in a few weeks for a convention at the Sandestin Hilton. I plan to blow off one day of the convention so I can spend all day at the beach. Here is my stupid question: I cannot stand crowded beaches in front of high-rises. Suppose I were to take my chair and cooler, and walk east...

I'll be down in a few weeks for a convention at the Hilton. I am riding with an associate, so I will not have a vehicle. Doe anyone know if there is a car rental place in Sandestin? Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if there are any units in this building on a rental program?

My wife and I were already planning an October trip prior to the hurricane. At this point, I just don't think it is realistic to try and stay gulf front in our regular place. We would very much like to find a place on the bay in Walton County. There seem to be very few bay front rentals...

I have noticed in several of your recent property VT's that the black sand or "peat" is still very much visible. Any idea how long until the sand is totally white again?

Just logged on for the first time in several days. Curiously, the thread on the new PC/St. Joe airport has mysteriously disappeared. Hmm, I guess this company has more power than even I suspected. Do they now own this board as well as well as everything else in Northwest Florida? :bang:
