I got it easy ill take H20(Highway 20) about an hour west and im good to go...who alls gonna be there the 12-16, actually i might go down the 11 and sleep on the beach just to watch the ying yang twins

Big mistake staying in panama city and not panama city beach. your trip will be much less fun.

There's no buses, there's cabs though that run all the time. Some of the larger hotels, I read had shuttle buses I am not sure if yours does, you might want to call your hotel, and see if they are running them, if not you can ask them what they suggest.

I would buy the stuff at home and bring it to the beach, don't depend on your fake ids working in a place as strict as Panama City Beach is with it's underage drinking policies!

As far as using your id to get you into bars and stuff so you can drink while you are out, your just going to have to talk to other underage people when you are down there so you can find out where's good. I can tell you that there will be some people and a few places that are looser than others, there always is because selling drinks to minors is big $$. More likely you will have to make some trials and errors yourself, no one right now can tell you how strict each bouncer at each club will be, except maybe kareemdieselshun (who supposedly is a bouncer at Hammerhead Fred's) or KristinRae (who claims, nay, is a bartender @ LaVela according to Gomer) try pming these guys, they might just be able to put you on the inside track...

Other than that, like I said, always pre-game hard and heavy with drinks that you brought and then you won't have to worry so much about buying drinks at clubs, or buying alcohol when you are down there, you'll also save yourself some duckets when you aren't buying drinks...

She is a bartender at La Vela.

Edit who is, a bartender at LaVela.

A very pretty one at that , but can't dance from what I've seen hehe.

hahaaa

mann...me and my homeboys stayed acoss the bridge last year!!!..it was cheap but honestly it wasnt worth it....cuz u have to SOBER up to make the drive back to tha hotel..basically a lot driving and not all the girls wann come back to ur place cuz they think u r trying to kidnap them..lol..(tru tho)...but we still had a HELL of a time,,,BUT this year HELL NAW!!!...we mad that decision last year to never stay back on the other side...its just sumthin about wakin up rollin over and ur on the beach and not 15-20 mins away(depending on traffic)...but never the less yall will still have fun...JUST DO IT BIG!!

Wow thanks for all the help..i did move my hotel to panama city beach, though its still kinda far away..its a new hotel called the Mainstay suites..looks nice and got a decent price..cant wait to come and represent University of Iowa!! counting down the days!

To the island? LOL... Its no island, close, but no island. The bridge divides Panama City and Panama City Beach but you can go the long route and come down 79 and skip the bridge, but I wouldn't recommend that.

I stayed at panama city the first year by mistake. We basically had someone be DD each day which sucked ***. I would never do it again but hell its spring break your gonna have fun like FAMU said.

heres a tip bring a camera, sounds gay, but man you'll be catchin some ***** and Tiitttttties.

alright i was looking around still and found an even closer hotel to the beach..its called Executive Inn..looks decent and wondering if anybody has stayed there and knows about wristbands or any security trouble there with partying etc..any info again would be great..thanks again everyone!!

Never heard of that place man....but when you figure out where you are staying let me know...ill be down there for the 5th year with a big group from Iowa
