Dear Traveler,
Fall is finally here, and it's the perfect time to check out all of the things to see and do in the Southeast. The weather is ideal for a trip along the emerald coasts of Panama City Beach, Destin, and Pensacola. There are also exciting festivals and events are going on right now, including the 25th Year of Fantasy Fest in Key West, Saints football in N'awlins, and the never-ending hot Atlanta nightlife. You won’t want to miss any of it! If you've been working on your tan all summer, you may want to enter the Alvin's Island Model Search to be one of the stars in the next series of Alvin’s Island commercials!
