Greetings Traveler,

We've received lots of questions from our members asking how well Key West weathered Hurricane Wilma, and we're happy to report that all the information we've received so far has been positive! The Keys are closed to visitors right now, but power is already being restored in certain areas and it won't be long before Key West is back in business. And that's GREAT news for fans of Fantasy Fest ! A new festival date will be announced soon, and a better-than-ever freaky festival WILL roll this year, so stay tuned! We'll keep you updated!

The Georgia Aquarium…
an Aquatic Champion!
It’s almost time – the new Georgia Aquarium is scheduled to open this fall! Thousands of fish have been relocated and whale sharks shipped across the ocean for opening day, Wednesday, November 23, 2005…just in time for Thanksgiving.

No doubt many families will make a visit to the Georgia Aquarium a welcome part of their holiday schedule. Who wouldn’t enjoy seeing the spectacular results of this ambitious project that began several years ago with a very generous gift ($200 million) from Bernie Marcus, co-founder of The Home Depot; the Aquarium’s nine acres were previously donated by Coca Cola. Atlanta’s Georgia Aquarium will be the largest and most engaging aquarium experience in the world with more than 100,000 animals from 500 different species in over 8 million gallons of water!

Fall in Myrtle Beach
Everyone loves Myrtle Beach… it’s a casual, friendly beach town and it’s FUN! The whole town is down to earth…even the nicest restaurants in town don’t require a jacket…for in a beach town like this, many of the business owners’ today were once the beach bums of yesterday!

There are only 30,000 residents in the city limits of Myrtle Beach, however, nearly 15 million people visit the Grand Strand each year…even so, it’s hard to walk down the street without strangers greeting you with, Good morning! Nice day, isn’t it?” Folks here are passionate about their “Southern Hospitality,” and it shows in all the tiny towns that dot the Eastern seaboard along the Grand Strand.
