And to think I never knew that Rush did a collaboration with Fresh Prince.

No, he is just hoping Neal Peart is gay.

You can't go wrong staying at the Blue Dolphin Inn at Panama City Beach. Don't forget to hit up the Miracle Strip Amusement park.

You could possibly even hit Hat Thief Red Beach, I hear that's one wild ride. Little Snags would enjoy, I'm sure.

Blue Dolphin? Pfffft....it's Fountain Blue or nothing for me when I get my PC on. And you're right, Miracle Strip Amusement Park is a must. Can't get enough of walking through The Old House

And its the only place in the world to visit a Margaritaville. Don't forget the shark fishing over at the City Pier.

Nobody has mentioned the Ramada Inn in Ft. Walton, and the pool bar in the mountain?

You just took my old ass down memory lane. High school graduation. 4 of us had the exact room we wanted booked 6 months in advance. 2nd floor, right above the pool so we could scope everything out and jump in. Our room was literally party central for a week. Went to the lick her store every morning and got all the stuff for a punch. Filled up 2 coolers with punch and opened the doors. There was quite a bit of debauchery, some of which I remember.

And most recently of all, a "Roman Toga Party" was held from which we have received more than two dozen reports of individual acts of perversion SO profound and disgusting that decorum prohibits listing them here.

Saw mucho debauchery there and at the condo's next door during HS. And also at Cash's.

I was living in Montgomery at the time. PC was the place my family always vacationed when I was a kid. But, it was long about that time that PC was really going downhill and getting it's well deserved "Redneck Riviera" tag. So we went west to Ft. Walton. Destin was truly a little fishing village with a few high rise condos but for the most part, between Ft. Walton and Destin, it was miles and miles of incredible, isolated beaches.

Wasn't there a Sammy's in Ft. Walton? Seems I got drunk one night (Go figure) and slipped in a teetay bar.

Yeah, Sammy's was pretty much nearly across the street from the RI if my hazy memory serves. Yeah, Destin really boomed the last 30 years. When I was real young, my dad would take us to Gulf Shores. We stayed in a dump that I recall being next door to the Pink Pony. It was walking distance anyway. Went to PC a couple of times with friends, but don't recall my family every taking me. We started going to FW about 8th grade.

As a kid, going to Miracle Strip was like going to Disney World. The place was huge. Didn't like that Haunted Castle and it took me a couple of times to get brave enough to walk through the Old House....but once I did it, my parents just parked themselves on a bench outside it while I walked through about 2 dozen times. Always pretended the reason I wouldn't ride the old wooden rollercoaster was because the line was too long. Had to get a little older to get the nerve to ride it.

I admit, the damn rollercoaster was scary. Felt like at any moment it was going to fall apart, as if on its last leg every time I rode it.

The log flume, now that's where it was at.

Was down there back in mid Sept, and drove the little road that runs between Alvins/Water Park and The Amusement Park (connects Front Beach to Middle Beach). Very sad indeed.

No question. We always had to hit that Alvin's prior to going to the Miracle Strip. Acres of useless crap. The cool thing is every time we go to the beach now, mini-Snags begs to go to Alvin's for useless crap. I gladly oblige. Love me some Alvin's useless crap.

The hell you say. The Abominable Snowman was the place to be. The only ride with AC. It was like a slice of heaven every time that ole scrambler made a round.

Shipwreck Island is next door. I took my kids there a few years ago and from the top of the big slide, you cold see what was left of the old park. Brought back good memories with a tinge of sadness. It always took me a long time to save up the $10 to get in that place.
