Hi,

We are scheduled to be in Pensacola this Friday through Tuesday, we were going to participate in the SRI tri athlon and stay at the Hampton Inn on Pensacola Beach. As you are well aware that area was hit hard and the race has been cancelled.
We are still planning on making the trip from Minnesota as the airline change fees would be extensive.
I am wondering if anyone has any advice as to where we should stay, I am looking at Gulf Shores but haven't been able to assess their damage. I also have a place in mind near Rosemary Beach, but we need to make multiple pick ups at PNS and I was unsure about the travel time between the two considering all of the road damage.
We were also planning on attending the seafood festival in Sevilla Square, but it sounds as if that area is flooded and their web site is not coming up, I am guessing due to power failure.
Any information anyone has would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Holly
