Was there last summer. A beautiful place. The shops along the pier are really nice can't remember the name of the bar but you can eat and drink overlooking the water. There is a local Irish bar that has like 2 million dollar bills taped up all over the place. Good food and beer. We stayed at the Emerald Grand.
Have a great time!

It's really neat place, traffic is a little heavier than I would have thought but ehh... I'm in no hurry. Water is abosulutley beautiful. We rented a house closer to Miramar. Its definitely on the list to do again!

I lived there a few years back over in Crestview or as the locals call Crestucky. Worked at Eglin AFB/Duke Field. Fishing is fantastic!!! Mackerel and Red Fish is my favorite. Great Golf all over that part and the sea food is tops. Miss it only in that regard otherwise too damn hot and humid....cr8crshr/Tuck

Ya the traffic sux! Humidity???? If this is the worst it gets ( humidity) I'm might be moving!!!
We went and played a round of golf at Bluewater Bay and didn't have any issues w/mosquitos...it was the dang gnats!
I haven't picked up my clubs in about 5 years and probably would have shot a low 80....but every backswing or putt I would have 3-4 of those damn things fly up some orifice ( nose, ear, mouth or eyes)
It was pretty miserable...still shot a 90

Devin it was one of the most beautiful sunsets I've seen. I asked the captain if he minded if I stood on the rail and leaned against the t-top to get the shot...I wish I would have had our good camera...those were with my phone...

I'm counting down the days for our departure.... fly into Miami, jump on the ship and turn off the phone for a week!
We'll be at the 7 mile beach in Grand Cayman, some river tubing in Jamaica and still undecided on what to do in Cosmel? Would love to snorkel but it scares the **** out of me.. I'll take plenty of pics.

Great place to play Golf. Which courses did you play as there are if I remember correctly there are 4 nine hole courses that you can mix and match. Had a Friend that lived along one of them and we would hit that for a quick cool dip in his pool and grab some cold ones and then hop back into the cart and keep playing. There is a great dockside bar/eatery in that development that was also one of my favorite hang outs...
