Gulf Shores Jellyfish and seaweed
Posted: Sun July 5, 2009 04:58 PM UTC
I have just heard from a friend who got back that the Jellyfish and seaweed were terrible. Is this true? We are headed to Fort Morgan the first week of August for our first trip to the beach and don't want the kids getting stung. Also any suggestions of things to do and see.

Alabama Day trip out of Montgomery
Posted: Sun February 8, 2009 11:10 PM UTC
We will be visiting our son in Montgomery and would like to take a day trip. Two opposite directions seem interesting:

To Selma, Old Cahawba State Park, Demopolis back via Miller's Ferry and State Route 21

To Tuskegee, Auburn, Opelika, Wind Creek St Park and Wetumpka.

Any suggestions comments or opinions on these options?

Gulf Shores Crabbing in Gulf Shores
Posted: Wed January 28, 2009 09:31 PM UTC
Our family is headed to Gulf Shores this summer for our first beach vacation. As a child, I remember crabbing on our trips to Florida, taking the crabs back to the condo and having a wonderful meal. Is there anywhere to do this in Gulf Shores?

Maplesville Where in the heck is Maplesville
Posted: Thu January 1, 2009 12:08 AM UTC
Do you know where Maplesville is? If you do, then you must know of a motel here that is hidden 'cause I sure hadn't ever seen one.

Dauphin Island Tell me why?
Posted: Wed August 27, 2008 10:34 PM UTC
I'm a mid-west person(St.Louis Mo.)who had planned on visiting Satellite Beach Florida again where my sister-i- law owns a condo right on the beach.Have been there several times which I guess makes it an easy destination since I know where everything(stores,restaurants etc).
This time a larger group of people that usual will be going which means driving instead of flying.Since it's approximately an 18hr. drive to Florida I stared looking for somewhere closer that we could go to relax and enjoy the beach with the kids.
Not being familiar with the gulf coast area which is a seven hour shorter drive to the beach.I checked out the more popular areas Gulfport etc.When I ran accross Dauphin Island Alabama.Would someone familiar with the area please tell me I'm not dreaming!Affordable housing on a beautiful white sand beach!!Is it too good to be true or is a best kept secret?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.Thank You

I know there is a ferry from Mobile to Dauphin Island, but I'm looking for a little longer trip. Does anyone know of any ferry along the gulf coast that will ferry you to Mexico or something similar? I'm just looking to go on some type adventure, so any suggestions are welcome :)

Gulf Shores Five days...what to expect in Gulf Shores?
Posted: Mon March 10, 2008 05:55 PM UTC
We're on our way to Gulf Shores for spring break with our two gradeschool boys. What's the weather like in mid-March? Will it be warm enough to swim? (I'm up in Iowa shivering in the snow and it's hard to imagine being on a beach right now.) Also, what's going on there in the next few weeks? What should we be sure to do, where should we be sure to eat? We're very interested in good local food. How's the zoo? Any other travel advice would be appreciated--we want to be sure to get the most out of our visit (which will of course include plenty of beach time).

Alabama Watumpka??
Posted: Wed February 27, 2008 11:09 PM UTC
Just wondering if Watumpka is worth a look. When I heard it is in a meteor crater, I thought WOW, but there aren't many photos of it. I watched Big Fish recently, but it didn't give much of a feel for the place either.

We are driving between Montgomery and Auburn here in a couple weeks, looking for interesting backroads places to explore, so is Watumpka worth a detour?? Cheers!

Where are some places to play shuffleboard in southeastern Alabama? Are there any?
My mom passed away 2 weeks ago and my dad loves to play shuffleboard, I thought it might be good for him to start playing the game he loves so much, again.

Thanks,

Florence Florence, AL July 4th-8th
Posted: Wed May 30, 2007 06:12 AM UTC
I will be staying at the Shoals Marriott over July 4th with my family and have a few questions. I know there are fireworks at McArthur Park that evening; do you think we will be able to see them from the hotel. Yahoo Map says driving it is 4 miles but I think as the crow flies it is more like 3 miles. Also we are planning to do the Helen Keller Play on Friday night. Should we do reserve seating or not? Also we are considering doing the Frank Lloyd Wright House on Saturday as we are leaving town to head back to Nashville. What do you think about our plans? Any advise for us. If we end up eating out in town where should we go? Grandma will be with us to babysit so it will be two couples for a fun night out.

Thanks,
Misty

Gulf Shores Gulf Shore Lodging Question
Posted: Mon February 5, 2007 05:13 PM UTC
We will be visiting the Gulf Shore area in May of `07. We have never been there before. I have been looking through the VRBO website and am thinking about booking a room for the two of us at "Golf Shores Surf & Racquet Club" or "Golf Shores Plantation". Does anyone have any input on these properties?
Would you recommend we stay in Gulf Shores, Fort Morgan or somewhere else? We don't really swim or sun bathe, but we want a place where we can play golf, play shuffleboard and site see. Also, what kind of weather can we expect in mid-May?
I welcome all suggestions. Thank you!!

Moscow safe for blacks?
Posted: Wed November 8, 2006 12:51 PM UTC
I'm going to Moscow with my wife for a few days. I've heard/read that skinhead groups are increasing racist attacks on non-whites, especially jews and blacks, and especially as the skinheads prowl metro trains. I'm white, my wife is black caribbean -- I would never subject my wife to any racial hurt or fear. Do we still travel?

Gulf Shores Honeymoon
Posted: Wed August 23, 2006 02:44 AM UTC
My fiance and I are getting married September 30, 2006. He is a huge nascar and for part of our honeymoon, we are going to Talladega Superspeedway for the truck race on 10/7/06 and the cup race on 10/8/06... Since we are already gonna be in AL, we are talking about heading down to Gulf Shores / Mobile. My question is to how everything has been rebuilt since Hurricane Katrina... Are there still things to do and is the beach nice or is it still very evident that a hurricane came through a year ago? Also, if you could give advice as to what might be good tourist attractions especially for newlyweds that would be great, as well as good hotels... Thank you in advance for responding to my question... Looking forward to hearing what you have to say....
