I got ahead of myself and posted my [URL="http://www.sowal.com/bb/real-estate-discussion/38204-coastal-resort-mrket-how-did-we-get-here.html"]first thread [/URL]and [URL="http://www.sowal.com/bb/blogs/coastal-edge/545-resort-real-estate-just-coasting-along-we-there-yet.html"]blog[/URL] (the same thing)before I introduced myself... Personally, I grew up in Tampa, FL covered with sand from head to toe, and spent most of my early life with a snorkel in my mouth and my head under water... Oh well, lot's has changed. I've lived in California and Tennessee but my heart has never left the beach. Business I've dedicated my business to the coast and I've spent the past 5 years studying Coastal Resort Real Estate for local favorites like Alys Beach, and international corps like PlayGround and Intrawest (same thing). I enjoy traveling, scuba diving and animals (all sizes, wet and dry!) That's it. Check me out on the web @coastal-edge.com and now I'm on Twitter: at CoastalResort or 30AViews. Look forward to getting to chat with many of you as I have visited and read your posts for years... Sorry it took me so long to join the fun! Suzette
