[MD] another glimpse of Lila

Thu Feb 21 17:16:18 PST 2008

Ian,

Absolutely!  I do live in paradise!

For the last 21 years...Panama City Beach,
Destin, San Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Gulf Breeze, Pensacola,
Pensacola Beach and Navarre (Navarre - just
in between Fort Walton and Pensacola)  -(before that
I moved around a lot when I was in the Coast Guard)
- but I grew up in Tallahassee and now I 
travel to the Tallahassee area once a week - actually close
to the coast there too - St. Marks, Shell Point, 
Apalachicola, Panacea, Carrabelle area)  but I'm in 
P'cola/Navarre/Gulf Breeze/FWB the rest of the time. 
After living many places:
Arizona, Alaska, California (Bay Area and Fresno), 
Illinois, New York City and visiting
many other spots - there is one thing I know about
myself - the Gulf Coast is what I truly call
"home" - when I travel (which is fairly often) - 
I always start to relax whenever I hit I-10, 
whether it's New Orleans or Jacksonville). 

So you were here on vacation? Do you come down here
often? (I'm assuming 'down' - not sure where your
home base is)?
