Well, let me tell you what your missing in Panama City......there is sand, there is water, the two meet in a configuration probably similer to what you have seen before. The sands pretty white, the water is pretty blue......that is when it isnt choked with seaweed. In short, its just like any other beach on the gulf coast.

Ok, so 8 years of living here and putting up with the tourists and the #*&( spring breakers has made me cynical.

Oh, another thing........the whole county is as flat as a board and the city is layed out in a grid.........very boring. Makes Pensacola seem downright mountianous.

On a positive note, despite it's size it retains much of a small town feel and most of the people are pretty nice.

So how many is a few anyway? I wouldnt mind driving a few hours even if it was just 15-20 people. Besides, gives me more time to spend with my Empeg.
