Travel info:  Get to interstate 10 and drive until you see Florida Exit 56. If you're flying in, airport code is VPS and about 20-25 minutes away. If that doesn't work out, go for PNS but you'll need to drive about 45-55 minutes. For those sun lovers, this is part of spring break time and beautiful Destin beaches are only about 30 miles away. And to boot, April is long before Hurricane season! :)
