The Gulf Coast

Now that the children are starting to report to school, there is no better time to travel than now. All over the Gulf Coast, from Texas to Florida along the I-10 corridor hotels, restaurants and amusement parks are discounting their fares or rates drastically. I recently took a trip to New Orleans and then later to Gulf Shores , Alabama and had a blast! The food was excellent, the entertainment was top notch, beaches were white sand and  the view was absolutely beautiful and breath taking. To my surprise the hotels  and restaurants were affordable. When I asked a local business owner of a hotel why were the rates so affordable, his answer was simple. People were making a transition from vacationing to getting their children ready for school. As he explained it made common sense to lower the rates to draw more customers. I must admit after spending three wonderful days in New Orleans, Louisiana and Gulf Shores, Alabama, that the Gulf Coast is back. If you are a business person, a church that is expecting to plan an event or a parent with grown children there is not better time too plan a event, function or to take a few days for vacation . The Gulf Coast has plenty to offer the ordinary business person or an average citizen looking for a great deal.
