This was my first time seeing the ocean so I was very excited about that. The people here were very friendly and gave us a warm welcome. Louisiana, Alabama and Florida were only a couple of hours away so if you wanted to see other states like we did, than you could. Even though the hurricane wipe out a lot of the sites it still was a very memorable time for me and my family. I think I would return in a few years so that my husband and I can enjoy going to the Casinos down there.
I would not recommend the alligator farm either. As a matter of fact, I made sure I gave the place a bad review. The staff there is incredibly rude and obnoxious. I'm glad to hear you had a good time in Pensacola though!
The Mississippi Gulf Coast has a charm all it's own. It's quite different visually from Alabama and Florida, and there is much more to "The Coast" (as referred to by Mississippians) than just casinos. If you ever return, be sure to visit Bay St. Louis and Ocean Springs--they are lovely towns. Glad to hear you enjoyed the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola. It's excellent!
Are you kidding? I LOVE BILOXI!!!!!!! This was our first trip there and i could not leave. We ended up extending our stay for a month. The people aer wonderful and friendly. Cost of living is cheap and I .... all i can say is I loved it so much, we sold our home in michigan and moved to Biloxi Beach!!!
