dragging a cooler down the beach isnt much fun, they do have free busses to the clubs and hotels tho, or like 2 dollar busses without the sermon. i prefer the 2 dollar bus

your pretty far out

Panama City Beach, FL - Google Maps

walking - from: 12818 Front Beach Rd, Panama City Bch, FL 32407-3300 (Days Inn Beach) to: spinnakers - Google Maps

driving - from: 12818 Front Beach Rd, Panama City Bch, FL 32407-3300 (Days Inn Beach) to: spinnakers - Google Maps

also with the driving time you cant take normal traffic conditions into account, so figure on adding a half hour or so for traffic

I guess there will be many party folk all across the beach, we'll just work ourselfs towards sunsprees beach section :-P the problem is that the "days inn" was the only bookable hotel from our travel agency... so were just gonna have to make the best of it, one week never to forget

If it's not too late, you can still cancel, and get a condo for probably a lot less..

hehe easier said than done... as I mentioned before it was the only hotel available at my agency, and I could only undo the booking of the whole package. So I guess I'll stay at the days inn :P
Hey it's Spring Break for one week, so I should give everything - even if that means walking 10 miles every day

btw are there any updates on MTVU showing up in PCB 2010?

Bis später (see you later) from Germany

So PCB sounds like a great choice!

As I'm going to be in Miami for the Ultra musica Festival (March 26 and 27th) I'm planning on going to PCB the week before (March 20-26 or so). Dunno if it's a good date, but I sure hope there's still some parties going on by then.

one question I have, what's the average age of people there? I'm 26 and really don't feel like hanging out with High School kids anymore.

Take Care,

Johnny
Damn man, you're lucky, I really want to goto the Ultra Music Festival, but can't do that AND spring break.

The average age for students on spring break is college age kids (at least for the time you're talking about) So the youngest ones are 18-19, and the oldest ones are 24-25+.

So no highs schoolers. prepare to have the time of your life.

Just book early....like real soon before these hotels raise their prices again. I made this mistake this year lol and really need to plan this Spring Break out. This my 2nd time going to PCB. There are a lot of threads on this site that talk about people's experiences at some of the many hotels on PCB. Just give em a look one day

I agree with him. What you want to do is START NOW and make a list of ppl that you want to go and places that you would like to stay!!! Keep in mind that most places will require you to be 25 years or older to stay in their condo/hotel. With that being said there are ways around that any many other places that don't seem to mind. After all of that is done make sure that ppl do not bail. I fell victim to this last year and it was hard to find ppl at that last minute (but I did it). Calculate all cost and finalize transportation then enjoy the long ride to PCB!!! I will be there the same week soooo look out...haha jkjk. GOOD LUCK!!!
