I was supposed to go to Canada in July, but the wife is having Visa issues. So we are going southwest instead. We plan on going to the Pensacola/Destin area, as well as New Orleans. Is Biloxi, MS or Mobile, AL worth stopping in? Or should be just enjoy the coast in FL?

no on biloxi and mobile....

6/16/2009 10:05:59 PM

wife, when did you get married?

6/16/2009 10:07:30 PM

jealous Jen is jealous

6/16/2009 10:08:29 PM

what a strange thread

6/16/2009 10:08:33 PM

What is wrong with them Casey?

Jen, like a year ago.

6/16/2009 10:09:10 PM

Hot Springs, AK is pretty nice for a quick stop.

6/16/2009 10:10:29 PM

There's a road trip thread with many helpful suggestions.

Budget?
How much time do you have?

6/16/2009 10:11:37 PM

I have from the 9th - 19th off. As of right now I want like 3 full days in the Destin area, 2 in New Orleans, a day in Atlanta...then there is drive time. So I want like another day or two near by.

6/16/2009 10:13:14 PM

I took southwest to mean the region, not the direction

there is nothing to them...

mobile is just woods, sorta like riding around in the country here...and biloxi is just the nasty ass beach on the gulf of mexico...complete with old sewage pipes lining the coast a few hundred feet out in the water...

my brother used to live in gulfport which is on a road sign different from biloxi...and there just isn't anything exciting about it...it's just a trashy little town on the beach

6/16/2009 10:15:53 PM

since when do you need a visa to go to canada?

6/16/2009 10:16:46 PM

she's canadian....she may not be able to come back if she leaves

6/16/2009 10:19:30 PM

i'm somewhat new to this whole marrying a foreigner deal - one of my wife's friends did this recently and said there was a 4yr waiting period until he could become a citizen and even then they had to prove they got married for love and not so he could gain citizenship - i really didn't think that effected their travel or anything like that

what kind of issue would stop her from coming back to the US while she's married to you?

6/16/2009 10:23:13 PM

She has a work visa that is in a renewal process, and if she crosses the border prior to getting the new visa, they restart the process. which could leave her without a valid visa.

i'd go to seattle. always wanted to go there

All I remember about Seattle is asking my Grandmother why a hotel would have an hourly rate.

Grand Canyon, Vegas, Yosemite

6/16/2009 11:59:28 PM

Atlanta eh?


Biloxi is definitely worth it if you gamble


I got some coupons that I picked up in New Orleans when I was there last weekend, $45 a night at the French Quarter Holiday Inn

6/17/2009 12:02:13 AM

damn, i didn't think you had been with your girl that long. I thought if you were married she wouldn't have the issues with the visa but guess im wrong.

6/17/2009 12:11:44 AM

looks like most people ignored the first post. Seattle, Vegas, etc...not really too close to where I am going.

6/17/2009 10:20:01 AM

Gulfport and Biloxi.

I don't know if this is near Pensacola/Destin, by Seaside, Florida, is also really nice.

i really have to be a dick here sorry

affected

not effected

travel is being acted upon, you're not acting upon the travel

The answer to this question is always Chicago.

Chicago, son.

6/17/2009 12:54:03 PM

i guess you mean in a southwest direction? because i didn't know destin, fl was considered the southwest

6/24/2009 12:23:26 PM

OK. It is St. Augustine FL, Destin FL and New Orleans LA.

What should I definitely not miss?
