Well well well, let me start out by saying this was BY FAR the best vacation of my life, and I have been on many. I'll do the best I can recapping the trip and giving you some of the better details.

First Advice I can give: Don't listen to the people who say don't fly into the Panama City airport. Yes, its a smaller airport, but it is only 12 miles from the beach and the shuttle is like 10 bucks a person. My round trip flight from Baltimore was 130 each way for a total of 260 and I flew Delta-I booked through Yahoo. Only downside to this was the layover in Cincinnati, but even that turned out to be fun.

Anyway lets move on to the report:
Left Baltimore at 1000am Sat. Arrived in Cincy at 1130 am., strolled around looking to see where my connecting gate was, and turns out it was right next to a sports bar. Had lunch and a bunch of drinks while watching the NCAA games on a bunch of TV's. Got onto my flight near 3pm and off to Panama City where I reached the beach around 4pm local time, and off to the Best Western Del Coronado.

Saturday Evening-Decided on Lavela, was ok when I first walked in around 10pm. Cover was 20 or 25 I think as I was unable to reach it earlier. First room you walk into inside seemed like good dancing area. Anyway had been drinking/traveling all day and passed out on the bar around 1200 or so after god knows how many drinks. Coolest Security guard I have ever met wakes me up tells me to go across street, cool down and eat. Made it back into Lavela around 100 am and partied till 230 before I went back to the room.
THAT was SATURDAY.
Note to people reading this...I am going to try my best to remember some of the stuff that happened but good luck I was in a drunken stupor most of the week.

SUNDAY TO FOLLOW SHORTLY.

Ok well here is my report for the 23rd:

Woke up hung around beach, hotel and pool until about 1pm. Got dressed and headed up the beach towards Holiday Inn, which was really bumping when we got up that far and seemed to be at end of a contest. Swarms of people all around there!!! After a little people watching continued on journey up to Pineapple Willys to have some eats, drink and watch the Maryland game. Got one of those big *** cup drinks there and wow was it huge. 5 of us went up to Pineapple Willys and all agreed the food and drink was good. Great place to watch any sport you are looking for.

So we all left feeling good after the win and headed back to the hotel. Consumed numerous beverages through the night and ended up going to Harpoon Harry's that evening.

As soon as I reached the parking lot of Harpoon Harrys and saw all of the girls gone wild trucks, I knew I was in for a good time. By the time I left this place the female bartender in the back couldnt believe how crazy I was!! Anyway great place to dance (deck area inside, and saw people dancing inside), ended up dancing with some fine girl there. Would definitely recommend Harpoon Harry's and Pineapple Willy's to everyone, but I am sure you already know that. Left harpoon harrys around 3am and proceeded to pass out on the chair outside of my room (more on this later)...

So thats Saturday and Sunday...Monday is when it started really getting ridiculous. More to come.....

Woke up early on Monday (well at least vacation wise) around 900am. What the hell am I doing up so early, oh yeah we bought tickets to a Real World Las Vegas Beach Bash from some girl that works at Lavela from 12-5. Left for Lavela anticipating a huge line around 11am the one line was pretty long but you could buy a bigger cup and get in the VIP line for 5 bucks, and it ended up being a pretty good deal. At lavela they had Free Jungle Juice, Beer, Domino's Pizza, Mcdonald Burgers, and Subway Subs. The girls really let loose here during the booty shake and wet t-shirt contests, which i managed to get some decent pics of, and when I get them on a floppy I will post them. Anyway back to some of the more interesting moments. I was wearing beads and some girl just grabbed them and tried to steal a pair. Her friends laid into her pretty bad for taking them. The one guy who said "you better show him your f'n **** right now" gets mad props. Let me tell you this girl had possibly the hugest nipples of ALL TIME. They took up 3/4 of her boob. Me and my buds were rolling once we saw those puppies. Later we we chatting up some ladies and then the girls start getting wild, stripping and kissing. Comment of the day after the one girl starts playing with herself--"I have a stinky vagina" that is a direct quote. The girls then took turns pouring beer down her bottoms and drinking it. Girls jumps in pool naked. The wet t-shirt contest was after all of this and it was insanely wild but we were working on the stripping girls so I didnt get as many pics as I hoped.
Well the 4 of us that went left at 5 when they kicked us out and one of our buds was beyond hammered. They left him with me and went back to the place. I was going to go and get stamped at Spinnakers but here is where things took a turn for the worse. My drunk buddy stopped and talked to everyone so we finally made it next door to spinnakers around 545 or so. I went to the bathroom and he orders two more drinks (not a good idea at this point). He is becoming arrogant and still trying to start trouble. We go up to a closed part of the bar where he spills the drink and is face down on the bar. About 20 mins later he wakes back up and says I need to go on the beach. Passes out (dead weight) on beach and is face down in sand for some time while I try to get our friends back down to get him since I still want to get my hand stamped at Spinnakers.
Security guard of the tents (who was extremely nice considering the situation) comes up and says "looks like he will be here tomorrow". Spinnakers did let me come back in to use the bathroom after the one guy tried to stop me. After a bunch of people walked by one very nice girl let me use her cell phone to call the boys to come get him. Two other girls did come up and said lets take him to our room and have our way with him. I said I think he would like that, If you can move him you can have him. They walked away laughing at him. Well the boys finally showed up to get him and we were able to get him up after he blew some chunks and covered it up..note watch walking in sand outside spinnakers. I did manage to get my hand stamped, and I would like to personally thank security at spinnakers who allowed us to go back through with him.
Well went back to the hotel for a couple of hours and chilled before I went back to Spinnakers around 12 or so. The club part really had no one dancing in it but the live band area was pretty packed. Met another cool female bartender(the one with the sandy blonde hair) who made a wild day wilder. Well because it wasnt too packed they ended up closing around 3 and I think I reached my hotel around 4am and this is the day people apparently said I was passed out outside (we lost our chair when I stumbled in later and forgot about it).
All in all just a really crazy day.
I may be able to get tuesday up later today, if not I will put it up tomorrow.

Let the wild times roll...

This was a strange day to start but quickly turned wild. I knew about the beach bash at sharky's so I decided to head up that way. None of my friends wanted to go so I went alone. Line wasn't bad at all and I had already spotted some gorgeous girls in line.
So I open my wallet and realize "****", I forgot to go to the ATM and am trying to figure out the price up front. They let me out of line to use the ATM inside (security was really cool here too, more on them later), which ended up not working. I had exactly 25 on me happily so I was able to get in. They had another ATM which I had to try 6 times before it finally worked. I was now able to buy a bigger cup so I didn't have to walk up every two seconds to get a drink.
Wasn't as crowded as I had hoped, but I went up to one of the security guards to find out why, and guess who it was, ALLEN from Sharky's. I introduced myself and he knew who I was from the board. We chatted for a while and I found out that the guys that run the beach bash split up and now are competing against each other--the other guy moved over to Spinnaker's apparently.
For 25 bucks you couldnt beat what they offered. Same stuff as they had at the beach bash on monday at lavela + taco's from taco bell. The fun was beginning as the alcohol flowed freely.
Note: Make sure you tip the people at the Jungle Juice stand, the people that tipped get better service, you will see what I mean, trust me on this.
The girls here were wild. From what I remember they had an erotic banana eating contest, and these chicks went to town. One girl tried to ride the banana and that was just damn hilarious. The girl that one was hanging upside down at one point, they definitely deserved to win.
Then at about 4pm they had the wet t-shirt contest on the outside stage, and some of these girls, well it was just undescribeable. I managed to get in the front row for this and would have better pics had I realized my camera was getting soaked too.
During this contest some girl that was not in sharky's at the time repeatedly asks to be squirted, which they do. At some point her ******* of a boyfriend gets pissed and decides to throw a bottle at the MC's. Security and the cops chased him for a while and were officially ready to kill him. I think he is still running somewhere near Pensacola.
Anyway the party made it back inside and the bullhorn came out and the dancin was off the hook for a while as everyone was plastered. Sadly enough 5pm came and it was time to go. Here's the good part though...with your stamp, you can get back in FREE all night!! This helped later.
Went back to the hotel and chilled for a while and hung with the people at the hotel. Note to anyone reading, if anyone knows the cool chicks that were staying next to us (Nikki, Marcy and Emily from Southern Ohio I think) please email me I forgot to exchange info with them.
Anyway back to the evening portion and drinking at the hotel. Friends wanted to go to Lattitudes but ended up partying at hotel so I strolled up to Harpoon Harry's. Line didn't move for 10 mins. I said screw this and went to sharky's. It ended up being nearly a 3 mile hike I didnt feel like waiting for a cab in my drunken state. Reached sharky's about 1245, just in time for another wet t-shirt contest. Noticed that they auction off the person to pour the water on the girls, and this becomes important in wednesdays report. ALSO...This is when I started to wear my fat bastard hat. Everybody wanted to dance with me because of the damn thing and even ALLEN came up and said thats a helluva hat!!! Danced and partied the night away until 330 ish when ALLEN called a cab for me outside. Thanks ALLEN!! Went back to the place and two of my buds were hungry so we went to the AWFUL house (sorry Waffle House). Still wearing the hat and people were stopping me and going "Say get in my belly, i am sexy *****, etc). The damn ignorant *** cook told me to keep the noise down. I then got in an argument with management in which EVERYONE was yelling at them, it was funny as hell. Good news was they didnt charge us for everything, or they cant add since it cost the three of us a total of 10 dollars for the meal. HAHA!! Well the taxi driver that dropped us off saw us walking back and picked us up for like 1/3 of the rate to the place!! She was cool!!! Finally got to bed about 5am!!!

Wednesday is coming next...just wait, things really get crazy!!

thanks daveko69! I'm looking forward to the next installment!

Back to our regularly scheduled trip report:

So one of my buds decided to go to McDonalds and get breakfast for everyone around 930am. Started car of one of the guys and it sounded funny, had a lot of people look at it, including calling mechanic back home. Had something to do with the AC Compressor belt if I remember right. So right off the day is starting ****ty. After seemingly countless hours of calling Triple AAA and every mechanic from Bourbon St to Daytona, the estimates keep rolling in at over 600-700 bucks, which is not a good sign. It was concluded from his mechanic back home NOT to drive on it, so it was towed to JIMMY'S GARAGE, which is now known as CAMPBELLS I think. The tow truck from Triple AAA came later in the day so by the time it got there with all the traffic Jimmy's was closed so it was left overnight. The mechanics over there looked at it, and they were possibly the most HONEST mechanics of all time. Mad props to the people that work there. The AC compressor belt was fine, it was a secondary problem that caused the belt to stop. That problem was fixed quicker than expected, as the car was able to be picked up on Thursday instead of Friday. Remember the estimate...the actual price was 160 i think for what was wrong!! Finally some people that won't rip you off. Patronize THIS place if your car breaks down in PCB, they know what they are doing!!
Well that was our adventure early in the day, now its time to drink and party. Hanging around the hotel/beach during the day imbibing on some cold beverages. Walk next door to neighbors and chatting it up. Go back in later and the one girl is now basically sitting on this guys stomach. Ill leave the names out of this one for legal reasons lol. Well one of the girls gets a call from a friend back home and thats when the fun started. Me and the one girl left the room and went outside. About 20 minutes later I am back outside my room and seeing people go in and out of their room with cameras blazing. Go check out what is going on for curiousity sake...they are under the covers going at it. People are yelling "lose the covers lose the covers" Covers come flying off and basically we are now watching a live porno movie. People have now begun chanting GO GO GO. This had to be the most surreal moment down there as you had about 10 people yelling this with the door wide open. Just too funny.
So the drinking continues during the evening and we decide on Sharky's. We ended up eating dinner there first. Food was pretty good, I had some appetizer chicken thing and popcorn shrimp as the meal and another Shark Tube drink (they are big!!)
After dinner we went over to the club side, and as soon as I walk in with my fat bastard hat on again, I get flashed, and about 5 different girls come up to get a pic with me. Just crazy stuff. This was the night of Sharky's foam party and they spun the wheel which had LOTS of crazy stuff on it. Saw about 20 girls make out haha!! Got some good pics of the miller lite girls doing this!!
Anyway, remember what happened to my one friend earlier in the day..well its time to make him have some fun...
I had secured a good spot with my friends on the side of the stage with the DJ. About 1am they are scheduled to have a wet t-shirt contest, now remember I was there the night before so I basically know how they "choose" the waterboy. It was an auction. We ended up paying about 110 bucks for him to waterboy the contest. Oh the funny part...they strip the waterboy to his boxers so he was embarassed as hell. At the end of the contest the last two girls pour ICE water on him. Funny as hell. He kinda figured they might do this at the end so he tried to get all of the water out before the end. They noticed this and poured what was left on him anyway. Congrats to Irma on winning we were loud from Maryland!!!
Well after the contest he was soaked so we ended up going back to the hotel and chilling around 230am.
He wanted 1 bad thunderstorm and it was his lucky night. This was the ONLY time it rained as we got a massive T-storm that night. He was happy and I actually got to bed by 400am lol.
Anyway thats all for Wednesday...Thursday will be up next!!

Hey I wanted to ask you a question about the BW Del Coronado. Is it a nice hotel? Is there security and are they strict and is the staff cool and is the pool nice? Plus where is it located and is it a good location? Thanks for your help I leave Friday and cant wait.

Well lets move on to Thursday:

Thursday was a little bit of a toned down day early as we waited for the results of my buddies car, which as soon as he found out around 11:30 am, the partying got underway!!
Now remember it is 5 of us, but sadly my brother had to return home for work on Friday Afternoon so we had to jam as much of our crap we could into his car. Packed a bunch of stuff, leaving myself 2 bags of stuff for the final two days, as I am not scheduled to get home until late on Saturday night. So we just hung out and drank while we packed up all the stuff we could send home. The neighbors on our right from Missouri partied with us, I am still impressed by the large shot of straight Bacardi that Krystal did!!
I think I forgot to eat this day for some reason, I guess to see how far my tolerance has built up. Anyway my brother left for home around 4pm and we decided to buy foam party tickets for Hammerhead Fred's that night.
Partied around the hotel and the girls next to us ended up streaking through the side of our hotel. Hell when I went down to the Beach and back to the room I glanced over to see if they were still there and they were standing at the door topless!!!
I just walked by and went DAMN! and all the people in my room came out to check it out and they enjoyed it too!! Well that was there last night there so at least we got a show from them too!!
Well the 4 of us remaining started to get ready and get a cab up to the club and got there around 830. The deal with this was it was 20 or 25 for the ticket and free beer/jungle juice from 8-11. I continued with the jungle juice while watching the NCAA games inside because it wasn't too crowded since it was still early.
Well things continued on towards 11 and the three of them decided after the free stuff ended they left and ate down at the Subway across from Spinnaker's (the same one I went after passing out on the bar on saturday haha). Well they came back around 12 and we all partied for a while and at 1am another Wet T-shirt contest!! This one was as wild as the others, possibly wilder. After the contest ended, people are really bumping and grinding on the dance floor (including me of course). Well I look to my right and would you believe a girl is down on her knees giving a guy head!! Another classic moment!! Danced around, getting realled Hammered at this point, my buds decide to leave around 2 or 230 but I was a trooper and stayed as long as I could.
Hey they have a Hamburger grill, damn I am hungry after not eating since wednesday at Sharky's. That was possibly the best hamgurger ever at that point. Finally left right before last call, it was precariously close to 4am. Hopped in a Taxi which stopped for gas and food for the other people inside. It was cool he ended up charging me three bucks so I was happy. I gave him a decent tip and I was back at the place by around 4:30 or so. When I got back I found out that my buds in their drunken state TP'ed and Tositoed our room, which I thought someone else did and was not happy. I cleaned it up as best as I could and got to sleep around 5:30am but knew I would be getting up early on Friday..more on that to come.........

Note: This report will go Through the trek home on Saturday because I didnt actually reach my house till close to midnight on Saturday night.

Time for Friday's report!!

Woke up around 9:00am and spoke with my brother, who left us at 4pm Thursday and was less than an hour from home, so that was good to know. Found out later he drank 7 mountain dews a coffee and 2 cappacinos on the way home and stopped only 3 times!!
Well this day my other three friends that were staying with me were leaving in the morning so I got out of their way while they finished packing up any stuff that my brother didn't already take home with him. While conversing with one of them I had my line of the day "As soon as you guys leave I am puking". They had their stuff pretty much ready to go around 10am, and there plan was to drive until about 9pm and find somewhere close to Duke to watch the Maryland game without getting killed.
So they rolled out, and no sooner than they pulled out of the parking lot was i in the bathroom yakking up last nights festivities HAHA. Don't worry as soon as I did that I felt fine!!
Not too much to do early in the day as I wanted to get a head start on some of my packing which I did and I hung out with the neighbors and shared a few beverages!! Was feeling a little famished so I decided to finally make it up to the Beach BBQ that I had heard so many good things about. Strolled up there around 1pm and had lunch (Pulled pork, hush puppies, fries). Food and service here, EXCELLENT!! Stapled my dollar to the wall, I am "Big Wave Dave" from Baltimore in Blue, right as you walk in on the first pillar in between the pictures. Headed back to the place but stopped in to a couple of souveneir places to purchase some stuff for myself and some folks back home. Oh yeah, forgot that by this point I was wearing the fat bastard hat pretty much all the time now and people were still coming up to me going LOVE THE HAT MAN SAY GET IN MY BELLY!!
Well made it back to the room and ventured out with the neighbors to the beach and the pool, doing the world largest bellyflop 3 times so people could take pictures.
After this just hung around the room till 6:30 or so with everyone as its seemed to be a hotel afternoon party going on endlessly. Showered, got dressed, imbibed a few beverages before heading back up to Pineapple Willy's again for the Maryland game and dinner. Got one of those huge *** drinks again which kept me busy for a while. Being a Friday night I did have about a 30 minute wait for a table, but I was happy since there were a ton of Maryland people here to keep it going crazy!! Watched the game and had some eats then headed up to Spinnaker's.
Spinnaker's was packed, but only took about 5 mins to get inside. Seemingly every area in there was pretty crowded so took turns going back and forth in and outside because it was getting warm inside. Danced for a while and met these two crazy asian girls and was talking to them for quite a while. Found same bartender as I had monday night, she was at a different bar but once I found her I was good the rest of the night. At one point a girl comes up to me and goes "arent you staying at the best western del coronado"? I said yes and she goes I thought so you were the guy passed out in the chair a few nights ago in your hat. We tried to wake you up. Apparently I didnt feel a thing. They said security tried too hahaha classic stuff!!
Well headed back to the place around 230 or so as I still had to pack some stuff, finish off my bacardi and party with the chicks next door. They have like 1000 pics of me btw, they were really cool, mad props to all three of them. I will give a final shoutout to them after my Saturday post, as I will do with everyone else down there I can remember at this point. On a little tirade here....always thank and remember the people that hook you up down there, because if you screw with them, it will bite you in the *** in the end..that was a personal message for someone I know that is reading this, you know who you are.
Anyway partied till the sun came up and pretty much did all the packing I could except for the neccesseties of shower, shave, etc.

Well thats all for Friday, 1 more day to go, and some final notes after that.

Did you get any while you were down their or WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????

Check back on the final notes post of this report when I am done and you will find out!!

I was just wanting some of the dirty details!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D

Sadly, the final day:

Saw the sunrise in the morning and set my alarm for 9am as checkout was for 10am. The hotel automatically calls you 1 hour before checkout to tell you it is time to go. Woke up, showered, finished packing the small stuff that was still left out and made my around to say farewell to some of the people that I met. The only problem was my flight was not until 5pm so I had to find some stuff to do. I was a little hungover when I checked out haha. Walked around for a little while and was able to locate some newspapers to read to pass some time. The good thing for me was the hotel will hold your luggage for you until it is time to leave so I put my bags in the big pile in the lobby and hung around the pool for a while. Around noon I got hungry and here is where things turned for the worse. I decided to take a stroll to KFC to get those new honey BBQ wings. Well I get about 1/3 of the way there and badly sprain my ankle and nearly fall on my face in front of like 15 people which was not good. I tied my shoes very tight and continued on my journey, trying to keep moving so it wouldnt swell up. I got to the eatery and at least the food was halfway decent. On the way back I had searing pain in my ankle and I figured this would not be good on the flight stuck in one position. Well got back towards the place around 1pm and had called for a taxi back to the airport at 2pm. Went across street and did a little souveneir shopping until about 145 and back to the place to wait. Cab didnt show. Had to call repeatedly back to the company which finally sent one to get me at 3pm with all the traffic but it had other stops to make so on we went. 1 of the stops at the wind drift the people had already been picked up so down to the other end to the Sandpiper which picked up some people to fill it up. The people there had waited an hour too so apparently it was affecting everyone. At least there were some honeys in there to keep the ride fun. Finally got out of the traffic mess and made it to the airport at 10 of 4. Now the rules with Delta said you have to have your luggage cleared by 430 so it was cutting close. Made it to the counter at 10 after 4 with the line, which got really long about 5 mins after I got in. They hand inspect the luggage there, including opening every bag you have, luckily I only had the two or I would have been very close to that 430 deadline. Bags were headed for the flight and now I needed a cold beverage for the short flight and still had to go through security. Got myself one and headed for security, no problems there and finally was able to relax for a few minutes before boarding. Started boarding about 10 minutes later and sadly it was time to go on the way to Atlanta. Another full flight with possibly the quickest beverage/snack service of all time (they offered only pretzels and water the flight was so short). The flight took about 45 minutes but with the time change it was an hour an 45 minutes so it was close to 7 when I got into the terminal. If anyone has been to the atlanta airport, they know how big the damn thing is as you have to take a train from concourse to concourse to get around in a reasonable amount of time. Luckily the trek wasnt too bad and 2 concourses later I made it to my connecting gate with some time to spare so had a bite to eat, they did have a food court with a pretty decent selection and headed to my gate. It was now 745 and boarding would start in 15 minutes for the rest of my flight. By now it was officially freezing cold and I was still in my Panama City gear so I knew when I got home I would be ok because I left my jacket on top of the inside of my luggage.Boarded the flight and it was 1/2 empty (it was a huge plane so still lot of people on). Ended up with empy seat next to me so I could spread out and mercifully get some much needed shut-eye. Reached the ground pretty much on time at 10pm in Baltimore and my party was there to greet me at the airport so that was cool. Waited seemingly forever for the luggage to come out, took at least 30 mins. Got back to the car and loaded up for the trek and finally reached the house at a little after 11pm. That was the end of my trip and I think I slept until about 1pm on Sunday after falling asleep a little after midnight!!

I will post some final notes in my final post on this years report!!
I will be going next year, apparently March 16-23rd.

Well lets see exactly who I can remember:

From Sharkey's - Allen

Allen, one of the nicest people I met down there, knows I had a good time, thought the world of my hat and told me when all the good stuff was happening. Truly one of the good ones in PCB. Thanks bud, I will be back next year, and I will bring the hat again!

From the Best Western Del Coronado:
Marcy from Ohio - You still owe me for the big beads babe.
Emily from Ohio - Good luck on the engagement.
Nikki from Ohio - I am still wearing the damn hat!!
Rick from Ohio - One cool dude.
Grace from Missouri - Feel better and cheer up girl.
Krystal from Missouri- The shot of Bacardi was impressive.
All I can say about those 2 was DAMN.
Jill (?) from Missouri that was with them- try to keep the cards on the cooler!!
Hot Michelle from Missouri - This is the girl that everytime left her room had our room chanting we love Missouri, we love Missouri.
Jill at the Front Desk-Hope I wasnt too much of a pain in your *** the last day haha. Actually the staff here was really cool, have to give them mad props.
People that I just cant remember their names-Pretty much the entire second floor on the right side of the hotel. We partied it up all week, and what a week it was.

Other thanks:
To the security guard at LaVela-shorter guy with mustache, thanks for being cool about me passing out in there.
To the crazy taxi drivers down there-most of them were cool as hell!! The one lady that did mock 80 to the airport on the last day gets special thanks.
To Pineapple Willys for staying open late on Friday night so all of us could watch the game.

I have more but I have to go for now, guess there will probably be another post as I keep remembering stuff.

More observations/comments:

At the hotel next to us a bunch of made friends with these people in the corner room. Well they come up on Wednesday and say "did anybody lose a friend?". All of us say we didn't and they say "well some guy about an hour ago stumbled into the room and passed out on the bed, we have no idea who he is".
The girls stuck about 10 tampons in his back pockets and painted his toenails and fingernails. Don't know how it turned out but it was hilarious to see.

They should control the cruising traffic a little better during check-in/checkout times on Saturday. The traffic was attrocious during the afternoon causing a bunch of people (including me) to nearly miss flights we were stuck so long.
