Off the Beaten Path



Many years ago- before I got into the business of being a Travel Planner, I used to plan my own outings and would relish in being able to do something so tedious down to the penny and enjoy it! And then- it happened- a horrid trip gone bad by using a Travel Agent, and yet it was not all that horrible after the fact when I stumbled upon this off the beaten path locale. Now- because I am an adventurer, on this date while sitting in a Denny's drinking coffee and slurping away on a waffle, i pulled out a map from the gas station, closed my eyes and threw my finger on a destination. When I looked down, I noticed I had landed on an area called "Mexico Beach". Now- of course I found that odd. I even thought to myself in a quirky kind of way- a piece of "Mexico in Florida?"

I figured looking at the distance to where I was if I did not like it, I would not be far from Panama City Florida, I could always drive there. I asked a waitress and she told me I was basically 45 minutes away and gave me easy directions there. I must say- that since that error of the Travel Agent, I have been a loyal visitor of Mexico Beach every year since then. Words cannot describe the scenic beauty of the drive through what seems to be a back road to the ocean. Warm waters, no under tow, no wild parties, tattoo parlors- it is serenity. complete bliss. Take a look at their website, and plan a trip there. You won't be sorry!
