Holiday Inn Express Pensacola Beach

Pensacola... the show was good, the hotel was horrible.<br><br>For the record, Pensacola does not count as Florida. The panhandle is not Florida. I know Florida. Pensacola is Alabama light. <br><br>I couldn't even find a Publix nearby!<br><br>On to New Orleans!!!!! <br><br>:)<br>

De camino hacia New Orleans, paramos a visitar dos Parques Nacionales, el Big Lagoon, uno de los mejores parques en la costa de los USA, y el Tarkiln Bayou Park, caracterizado por las raras especies de plantas como algunas carnivoras.<br><br> On the way to New Orleans, we stopped to visit two national parks, Big Lagoon, one of the best parks on the coast of the USA, and Tarkiln Bayou Park, featuring the rare species of plants and some carnivores.<br>

... roasted red peppers and artichoke hearts and mozzarella cheese. Delicious! And for the main course mushroom and chicken pasta. Mhm....slept in a bed and it was wonderful. Torrential downpour the next morning. But clear skies after that on our way to Louisiana!!!

... lights and all tons of cars. We all got off and proceeded east on 90. To my horror, the rains came in buckets and 4 minues later i was soaked alll the way thru. Waterproof Gear...my ass!<br><br>After two hours i'd made it 7 miles on SR 90. I got back to I-10 and was the only one on the road for miles and miles. I gave it more gas, which did two things: first, i froze my tail off. Secondly, I couldnt see anything due my faceshiled fogging up. It just got too dangerous ...

... port. Then i was told the story of how the neighbor's truck had been stolen from their driveway and returned to that same driveway one year later. I parked in the barn.<br><br>We had some good food and talked about family stuff. Then came yet another embarassing chaper in my life: my aunt insisted on washing my dirty clothes from the trip so far. ughhhh. there was no getting out of it. When youre 36, the last thing you want is your ...

... a hurricane must wield. The pool at the motel was over-flowing after 2 hours of relentless, driving rain.....amazing to see. We were in the Laundromat when it hit town, so we decided to make the dash back to our room with the clean laundry in our laundry bag. The room was a 25 meter dash away. We had to bring most of our washing back to get dried once the rain had stopped.<br><br>Time to leave the beach and head North now. Next stop Nashville Tennessee via Atlanta Georgia.

Dave blew it!! <br><br>I knew we needed to get on 98 but took the first turn instead of going to Pensacola first. So we went at 50 miles out of our way around the Gulf Coast, totally lost but finished up where we wanted to be in the end, except it was going to be Destin but became Fort Walton which is OK. Did about 240 miles instead of 200 but here is lovely, right on the water and tonight as ...

Leeroy experienced a road trip U.S.A style 6:30am straight to the coach with a stop at Pensacola beach nice white sands e.t.c. for lunch &amp; Avo...too bad there was a thunder storm warning so beach was closed for the afternoon so ended up a 8 hour straight drive.. the seas were angry that day my friends.

... t deter anyone. After a lunch at Hooters consisting of burgers and deep-fried pickles (disgusting, although Adrian loved them) we wandered down to what we thought was the beach. It resembled more of a harbour-beach than an ocean beach and it wasn't until we were leaving that we realised we were on the wrong side of a large spit, with the ocean on the other side!! Some of the group rented jet skis while the rest of us ...

So, my travel buddy and I booked our trip to Europe. We're going on a guided tour with EF College Break, which is owned by a company that does a bunch of high school tours. This is part one of two trips. We decided to do the whole guided tour thing as our first trip so we can see all the touristy spots. Our next trip will be more independent. We decided to go with this company because after comparing it itineraries of other guides we found that this one offered more ...
