  1. We like Grayton Beach State Park as well.  The older section has more "private" sites, as the vegetation has been established, but it is all nice.  Good bath houses and lots to do in the area.

    I'm glad there are positive comments about Grayton.  We will be heading there the end of September for a week.  Just had some concern about the dogflies.  Sorry but I don't have a great recommendation for spring break.

  2. Used to live in Palm Harbor and it was 1.5 hours from our door to Disney's door. Now we are in the DFW area and it is 19 hours give or take.  But we still get annual passes.  We usually take 3 trips a year to Disney for a total of about 30 days and the annual passes more than pay for themselves.  Currently we have a hard credit card type card, but our wrist bands should be shipping to us in a couple of days.  Someone mentioned keeping both with us, I never considered this, but for at least the first trip with wrist bands this sounds like good advise.  I did the math years ago and as long as you go at least 12 days a year you should break even.  The biggest difference between the Annual Pass and the Premium Annual Pass for us was the water parks.  The regular Annual Pass does not include waterparks.  Never an issue for us, since the hotels and campground all have pools. 

  3. We moved up from a TT to a Class C, one of the main reasons for the C was the bed over the cab.  The gas milage on the C wasn't that much worse than the pulling a TT with a Durango.  We figured if we were going to get lousy gas milage anyway we might as well be comfortable.  In 2011 we traded up to an A.  We have a Fleetwood Terra.  The Terra model also has a bed over the cab.  It has a motorized dropdown bed.  So we have the advantages of the A and still the sleeping of a C.  I really like the A for many of the reasons others have stated such as the stability on the road and the storage.  It also has better ground clearance which helps getting in and out of our driveway.  We usually use a tow dolly to pull a car and I agree with others that getting in and out of gas stations can be tricky, you really need to plan your gas stops.  As I am not getting any younger the next investment may be a Jeep so I can flat tow it.  One less thing to worry about.
