A week at OSH, then a few days at my mom and dad's in Illinois, seems my wife wanted a vacation. So we had planned on going to Destin, but the hurricane was going to cause us issues.
We normally go to Port Aransas, have a golf cart waiting for us at KRAS, and she gets her beach time. She wanted something different, so I suggested South Padre. I have never been, too dang far to drive...nearly the same distance as Destin.
I planned the flight down to KBRO, arranged a Jeep rental and off we went. 40 minute drive from the airport, versus 2 minutes at KRAS, Saturday noon traffic going over the causeway, expensive gas at the FBO....all things working against it.
It was a great weekend, plus a couple days, but I don't know if SPI is my kind of place. It was one of the last weekends before school starts, so the weekend was busy, hence not getting a decent hotel. But, the water was clear, the beaches were nice and after a couple of days I settled in.
Would I go back? I don't know. Port A is more my kind of place, but the water sure is nice at SPI (South Padre Island) I guess if we couldn't go to Destin, we could go back south.
Having trouble uploading images, maybe I can get them to work later
