Holler from Ohio

[melliedee]

Hi, everyone!

My name is Melanie and I'll be visiting Grayton Beach for the first time for a week this May. Great forum! I am a vacation research junkie and like to over-plan everything, then just go with the flow when I get there!

Looking forward to learning more about this beach community before my trip so that I can make the most of it. I like off the beaten path kind of places.

I see that you also have a political forum. Rut ro.

Thanks in advance to locals for tips and advice.

Mel

Make sure to stop planning as soon as you get on the plane or in the car on your way here. In other words, plan on starting your decompression early so when you get here you don't waste a day running circles around your own head.

hi Melanie!

My family and I moved here from Ohio last June. the one thing you should plan on is loving it here...very fun, relaxed, cool beach vibe....with lots of great folks!

between sowal.com and "30a.com" you should have all the info you need to plan a great trip!

If you wear a watch, make sure as soon as you arrive you take it off and put it in a drawer. I always do this and it seems to make the trip last longer since you have no conception of time. Just go with the flow and enjoy the sun and sand and water.

Never waste time making plans before you go to Grayton. Plans nearly always go by the wayside once there. It may be your first time , but like Arnold says about California, you'll be back. Have a Grayt time.

back at ya.
Call my friend Tall Tom, and touch base with him about coming in.
He is like the Mayor of the beach areas. Knows everyone and is a really nice guy!
I live part time, in Ft. Lauderdale, and part time in Panama City Beach however Tom is full time social event guy for the area. I think you may like to meet and party with him!
His email is tom@aaflrealty.com
