So, Who's In SoWal Starting This Saturday?

Wishin' we were gonna be. Gotta wait a month till we get to enjoy all the sand and the surf. I'm countin' the days. I take it you will be there gettin' the place good and warmed up for us? Red Bar, Hunts, D&K cafe, Oli's place........what do you end up doin' with the kiddos' for fun, we'll be packin' about a dozen between all the families that are meetin' up. Probably drive up to Destin to the Go Cart place and then to the ice cream shop. Lot's of traffic up that way. I try and avoid it at all cost....

Leaving in about 8 hrs for the 13 hr trek from Texas!

I can hear the waves already!!

Destin traffic report-- on Tuesday, around 4 pm, it took us 1 1/2 hours to get from Target to Grayton. No go cart park is worth that mess- stay on 30-A and relax!

What would your normal drive time be?

35 minutes pn a really good day.

The worst of the traffic is always west of Destin Commons- 98 opens up a bit east of the Commons, as in, we actually started moving a bit instead of sitting bumper to bumper.

Yes, it bad, but hey at least you're not sitting in L'ville traffic. :clap:

Thanks for that valuable information, traffic SUCKS! We'll just do some sea shell and crab huntin' after dinner with the flashlights.....I know, I know.....silly tourists. Good luck there wintersbk on your trip and watch out for those truckers who decide that they need to get over into your lane NOW, no matter what you are doin'.:idontno: I did the Louisville to Carrollton, Texas trip on thursday of Memorial Day weekend and made it in about 12 hours. Alone. Lot's of Red Bull and Mountain Dew. It'll tickle yer innards......

I went and bought a case of RedBull last night. I'm ready to go!! :shock:

Does this stuff really work or does it just make your heart beat fast?

Both! (for me)
I've heard different people say that they felt nothing when they drink them, however it's like slamming 5 cups of coffee for me.

Thanks, I'll give it a try the next time I need some super-charged energy.

Remember that traffic is worse on 98 when it rains, due to all of the tourists going shopping at the Outlet Mall (Factory Stores).

It just gave me a headache. :idontno:

True and made even worse by the recent closure of I64 in the downtown area when they work on the weekends. I hate using 65 instead (they are still painting the Kennedy bridge or are attempting to look like they are). Those poor people who live in southern Indiana are hating it too, makes getting to places pretty hard.

Do you like the taste of RedBull? I tried it once to see what all of the hype was about, and, to put it politely, it wasn't my cup of tea.

Maybe this is why we have drivers who are in such a mad hurry around here.:idontno:

RiverOtter, please tell us who is in SoWal starting this Saturday. :idontno:

The other day I let the kids walk to the corner market not too far from our house. I just thought they were going for ice cream. Dylan was awake until after midnight :shock: ( not normal for him) and I later found out he bought a red bull.:shock: He had also had at least one mountain dew at home that I knew of. :shock: Come to think of it he kind of looked like that baby horned owl.:lol: No more red bull for kids:angry:

the traffic or the Red Bull....or both?

straight up, I don't really enjoy the taste. Cut it with Mountain Dew and it ain't half bad. Believe me I don't drink it for refreshment. It's equivalent to a couple of good strong cups of coffee, to me. Of course everybody is diff-urnt.
