Can't remember specifically, but I used to visit the site to look at pics when I was missing the beach, started lurking on the board, knew friends beachma and beachgirl were on here and the rest, as they say, is history!
When it comes to vacations I'm a major planner/researcher. 2 1/2 years ago my sister in law suggested we all rent a house and do a family vacation. She sent me a link to beach rentals of south walton and I think I took every VT available at that time. I probably found graytonbeach.com after googling it. I lurked for a really long time before joining in on the new format. When we got back from vacation this year, my kids said...mommy you won't have to be on Sowal.com anymore. Little did they know....
edited to add: I joined officially b/c I was lured in my SJ's pics. You have to be a member to view them and I wanted to see more. Kurt's drew me in first but it was SJ's photos that got me hooked. :clap_1:
My husband found this site summer before last when we were planning our vacation. He didn't join until Hurricane Dennis was bearing down on our vacation this past summer (he's a lurker). Of course, I couldn't stay away and needed minute to minute information! That's when I joined so I could read the threads and get the information I needed. I too was a lurker, but you guys and gals know how to make a person feel welcome! Now I'm addicted.... in a good way!! It's nice to be at the beach everyday!!!
You might have to pack me in your luggage!!! I'm afraid the closest I'll be getting to NYC this year is Finnley Lake, NY. Just doesn't have the same WOW factor!
