Hi from Hickory Flat!

Hi all. I'm Stephanie W, and I live with my husband and dogs in Hickory Flat, Georgia.

My parents bought a beach home in Santa Rosa Beach many years ago. We have spent wonderful family times there over the years. They hoped to retire there, but Mom died unexpectedly a year and a half ago.

The family still spends time there, and we rent the house out sometimes. I love the South Walton area, and am heartbroken over what is happening due to the oil spill.

I'm heading down on Sunday for the first time since the spill.

Thanks!

Hi, ya'll

My family has been coming to the Destin/Santa Rosa Beach/Grayton Beach area for several years, now. We are about to make our 9th visit to the SoWal Beaches.
We are all Educators in TEXAS and enjoy our vacations, especially the Florida portion.
We are a little apprehensive about the conditions that may be present in the middle of July.
Our purpose of getting on this sight is to gain some knowledge and keep up with the current environmental conditions concerning the spill.
Thanks for helping us get prepared for what we anticipate as a very relaxing vacation.
Bill
