Dear Traveler,
The holiday season is quickly approaching, and the time is better than ever to see and experience all that the Southeast has to offer. There are many exciting festivals and events coming up, including A Southern Christmas at Stone Mountain, the New Orleans Celebration in the Oaks, and the Pirates in Paradise Festival in Key West.

Of course, there are plenty of things to see and do in all of our great cities, like golf in Myrtle Beach and Christmas-shopping in Destin. And cooler temperatures along the Gulf Coast, from Panama City Beach to Pensacola, make for ideal trips outdoors. So, pack your bags and enjoy the holiday season with family and friends in your favorite Southern destination!


This issue's HOT Travel Deals include a Key West Getaway, a Mardi Gras package, and great rates at Bay Point Marriott Resort and Edgewater Beach Resort in Panama City Beach! Enjoy!

A Guide to New Orleans

When the city of New Orleans is mentioned, most people immediately think of Mardi Gras… and with good reason! Each year, people take to the streets of New Orleans for a few weeks of chaotic frenzy known as Mardi Gras! Mardi Gras is a celebration of history, tamed and tailored into what has become known as the biggest street party in the world! Sparkling costumes, masked kings and queens, and massive floats decorate the daily street parades and elaborate balls. Many people consider Mardi Gras the highlight of the year in The Big Easy.

But New Orleans has much more to offer than just the world’s biggest party! New Orleans is also famous for great food, great music, lively and colorful nightlife and a city so rich in culture, it’s been referred to as America's most European city!

Daytrip to Seaside?

As you head west, the world's most beautiful beaches just go on and on. It's well worth the drive to see how the beaches and communities change as you leave Panama City Beach and head for Seaside, the "perfect" little beach community.

Just after Carillon Beach, Hwy 98 takes off over Phillips Inlet Bridge, giving you a first glimpse of water and a hint of the spectacular scenery that's ahead. Soon thereafter is a small turn off, 30A, that will take you to Seaside at the perfect, leisurely pace.
