    Travinia Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar in Grand Boulevard is Now Open

    I am confused!!! Is this an ad or a review? In the past there has been an anti-chain sentiment on this website and now the site seems to be promoting a chain restaurant by reprinting a PR submission.

    Crabby Steve's questions

    There are 17 reviews on Tripadvisor.....12 excellent, 2 very good, 2 average and 1 terrible. Apparently the restaurant is in a gated community surrounded by other gated communities. The bad review came from a family who walked a mile and half up the beach to find the restaurant closed due to bad...

    Picnic Lunch at Eden Garden State Park question

    During our yearly month in January we do at least 2-3 Eden picnics. First a stop at Publix for sandwiches and other goodies and then off to the park. Every picnic is accompanied by wine and maybe beer. Just be discrete keeping the bottles out of sight. Perhaps using tumblers rather than wine...

    A great January on 30A

    This was our 15th January on 30A. This year we found the service at the various restaurants we frequented to be exceptional. No problems with special requests, split bills etc. Thanks to everyone at Stinky's, Hurricane, Another Broken Egg, Sergio's, Chan's, Angelinas, Shades, Marie's and...

    Costco Addicts

    Another thing in Costco's favor!! They pay their employees very well and treat their suppliers well.

    Need a veterinarian

    Kindness Animal Hospital on 30A We have always been well treated when we needed care for our Golden who tends to do dumb things when we are in SRB. No overtreating...just good compassionate care.

    US Airways to offer direct flights to and from Washington, D.C.

    Plane size It is a Canadair CRJ 200 which is the smallest of the regional jets. Seating is normally 50. They get uncomfortable after about 2 hours.

    US Airways to offer direct flights to and from Washington, D.C.

    Not encouraging. This would be more encouraging if this was a decent airline. US Airways is rated at 3.3 out of 10 by Airlinequality.com compared to Southwest's 8 out of 10.

    Looking for someone local to do built in bunk beds

    This might help. If you can't find a local craftsman or the price is too high...take a look at Ashley Embrace. We have them in the bunk alcoves in our ski place in BC and have gotten rave reviews from both family and renters. The built in storage in the bottom is great. We were surprised at the...

    Need cell phone advice..

    We are returning to 30A for our 12th January. Just found out that the home we have rented does not have phones. Using our Canadian wireless provider would be incredibly expensive with roaming charges. Which wireless provider has the best service in the Dune Allen area.? Thanks

    Dollar General coming to SRB?

    I am sorry but.. Donald Trump and Paris Hilton are living proof that there in no connection between wealth and class.

    Where do I sit?

    Please don't pick on the security guard. He is only doing his job. How about focusing on the anal human beings who own and inhabit these properties that hire him and attempt to enforce apartheid on the beach.

    Need some opinions...

    It is a bit of a haul but!! Wakulla Springs State Park is incredible...we do it every year during our month in January. There is more wild life than most folks would see in a zoo plus backed by incredible scenery. On your way back to 30A you could stop in Appalachicola to see the fishing...

    V reviews?

    To Douglas If you read my post you will note that I did not say that the food or service was mediocre. Contrary to many posters I do not post opinions on things that I have not experienced. I was responding to the post that said one should give newly opened venues a break if the food and...

    V reviews?

    I disagree!! I have a real problem with folks who feel that we should give new restaurants a break when they fail to perform. If they are charging full price....the food quality and service should excel. In the Toronto area new restaurants often do "soft openings" with lower than normal...

    New Airport Passenger Traffic UP 170% over 2009

    Amazing If my calculations are correct the two carriers operating from ECp are filling about 75% of their available seats. Based on 11 Delta regional jet landings per day and 8 Southwest landings per day I figure that there are about 113,000 seats per month. If they filled 83,000 of them they...

    Crazy airfares from ECP

    Unfortunately I can't The Canadian government has a ridiculous rule that Canadians cannot bring U.S. rental cars into Canada. The Customs Officers will often ignore the rule but I can't take the chance.:(:(

    Crazy airfares from ECP

    We are coming to Seagrove for our 12th January. I must go back to Ontario for a 1 day drinking water safety meeting. Checked fares from ECP and was shocked. The lowest 1 stop fare to Toronto was $491 US. The lowest Delta only fare was $1278. Checked VPS and found that there were numerous US...

    What to do beyond the typical touristy stuff??

    Its a bit of a haul but I am sure your kids would love Wakulla Springs Park. The one hour boat ride is incredible with all of the alligators, many knds of birds, turtles etc. It is one of the reasons we come to Forida every January.

    What's up with Wild Olive's?

    I agree with Table Five Chef We have spent January in Seagrove for the last 12 years. We actively use local restaurants while we are here. Our group finds that many of the restaurant reviews on this site to be highly biased and not a reflection of actual quality. The sentiment on the...

    day trip to Apalachicola/St. George Is. worth it?

    Wakulla Springs Would highly recommend visiting Wakulla Springs State Park on your day at Appalachicola. We do it every 2-3 years. They have a great old hotel, good dining room and a wonderful 1 hour boat ride through the springs. You will see neverending wildlife including alligators, herons...

    Top Ten Things to do in SoWal

    One of our favourite ways to spend Friday evenings in South Walton is to go for Friday wine tastings at Chan's in Sandestin, then buy a couple of bottles of wine to drink along with some shrimp, previously steamed by the nice folks at Goatfeathers. :clap_1:

    Dennis - damage reports & requests - merged to this thread

    I am getting concerned about our winter rental in Gulf Trace. We have rented Seashore Getaway West for the month of January, and it is gulf front, with only one house between it and that famous singer's place. From the sounds of things, we may not be able to enjoy January there this winter...

    Dennis - damage reports & requests - merged to this thread

    We are booked to rent one of the private gulf front houses in Gulf Trace this winter. We love the place, and are worried that it may be undermined and unavailable this year. Have all of the houses there had structural damage, or just a few? I feel sick about the beach, as we watched its...
