Seriously, I never thought it to be too big of a pain because I never stayed where they stayed. We were at Port Orleans French Quarter one year in January, and the internet cable was missing from our room. I stopped by the front desk to get one, and the cm told me why it was missing. It seems the resort had removed every one of them from all the rooms during Pop Warner, because there were too many kids in the past getting online, charging it to the room, and then the adults saying they wouldn't pay for the charges because they were unauthorized. ~Amanda

I'll keep this in mind, though. The good thing about rural AL and GA small towns is that they are small. Most of them will lower the speed limit for just a few miles, some not at all. In fact, there are two small towns we go through on the way to Destin (if we take the Mid Bay route) that don't lower the 55mph limit at all, but I think they should because the road is narrow and there are dozens of houses, a gas station, Dollar General, etc. My guess is the town is so small, it doesn't even have its own police force and therefor doesn't worry about the speed limit since there's no way to make a profit on it. >>> I assume you take US-331 to Destin... >> >> It depends.

Isn't that where Giselle, Pip and Edward come from? I believe that was "Andalasia". The town in Alabama is actually "Adnalusia" (I misspelled it the first time). >> Really, no matter how we slice it, it's about 2500 miles from our house >> and takes just over 4 hours. > > Now *that's* movin'. What in the world do you have that goes 625mph? A car with a speedometer scaled in tenths of a mile :-) (DAMMIT!) -- - RODNEY Next WDW Vacation? Who knows!
