Been there many times for the rallies and otherwise. I only live about 100 miles N. It is a very nice rally. The venues are spread out enough that you can get some good riding in as well. You can head E to Destin or S to Mexico Beach, St George Isle or Appalachacola. No problems with the law as long as you aren't a idiot, but make sure you wear eye protection. It is a no helmet state, but they will get you for no eyepro.
Didn't go last year, headed N instead to the Smokies, but might go this year. As far as lodging, the choices are huge and dependent on your wallet. Also some good eats as well.
Have fun and be safe.

 

Kinda pumped about this. These months are flying by and good riding weather will be here before we know it.

 

Went ahead and booked Boardwalk Beach Resort Hotel. Just going from Thurs-Sun.

 

Boardwalk is pretty nice, plus there are some venues right in that area.

 

Not too far from me, been there many times but never for bike week. Hoping to go this spring.

 

Finally getting some time off. Will be there for sure. Coming from the swamps of Louisiana!

 

Sweet. Just got the rooms booked. About time that Wyndham timeshare **** actually worked! See ya'll there.

 

Wife & I went rode down from Philly 2 years ago and loved it; trying to work it into my schedule for this year.
