Gas Prices And A
Vacation
Whew.......great to get away on vacation but following 13
days away from home and several thousand miles of traveling there comes pounding
in your head that familiar saying "it's great to be home."
Love to see what's going on in other states and traveling
through Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and northern Florida gives one an entirely new
outlook on life in these United States.
Took our vacation this year to an entirely different section
of the State of Florida as we soaked up the sun, ocean breeze and
the beautiful ocean waters of the Gulf of Mexico at Panama City Beach
Florida.
If you have ever been there you can easily see that there is
a notable difference from the Atlantic Ocean eastern section of
Florida.
The outer sections of Panama City Beach are much different
then downtown which we found presented almost a carnival atmosphere where
spending your hard earned buck is easy to do.
I will say that the restaurants we ate in downtown were some
of the best I have ever experienced. Definitely a nice vacation location and
maybe even a nice place to live (at least for the winter months).
A vacation like this is so much rewarded when you have a
two-bedroom, three bathrooms, kitchen, dining room and living room condo that
allows you to step right out onto the beach or enjoy your morning coffee and
breakfast on your balcony overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.
Of course in traveling by car to Florida you get a pretty
good picture of what is going on with gasoline prices. The further you travel
south the lower gas prices get. It is New York taxes on gasoline sales that
tells the difference here? What a pleasure to pull up to a gas pump and pay
$3.13 a gallon and we even drove by a gas station selling regular gas for $2.97
a gallon.
We and many others complain about our high gasoline prices
but nothing ever gets resolved resulting in lower prices at the
pump.

Gasoline prices like this in Georgia make vacation traveling a
lot easier to take.
