Hey thanks Kassandra!!!

Now guys, we should be taking advantage of the situation at hand here. We need to get Moc, and her PMS geared posse to New Orleans so we can offer up some drinking and some beads and really help out that Topless Board. She says she wants to go... sounds like a mission for the guys.

**Mocassin** · 01-31-2004, 03:06 PM

Wait a minute...I didn't know that women go topless in New Orleans!? Isn't that just during a festival?! And I never refuse a free drink.

Any time, sugar!

And there are lot of boobs to be seen during Mardi Gras....but even at any time of the year, there are always drunk tourist girls in the French Quarter lifting up their shirts (or more) for beads.

Drunk Tourist Girl... yeah that seems to describe Moc.

Hey TravelPUNKS, I live in the Sunshine State and have some great stuff for you!

WestCoast...
Panama City is great for the Beaches, Parties, Beads and Boobs, but thats about it.
Tampa-St.Pete is worth a weekend, and is where I live. The Ybor City-Channel Side area is the place to go all within a 4sq mile vicinity
Ybor City is in this area a strip full of clubs, bars, shopping, aquarium you name it. I worked the clubs since about 18 so iI know its good. We also have the Salvador Dali Museum in St.Pete, near great shopping bars and The St.Pete Pier. Beaches to hit....Clearwater Beach, St. Pete Beach and Ft. Desoto Park are key stops full of people, however if you are looking for pristine Florida stops..Caladesi Island and Siesta Key are Primo!

Then you have Orlando, just a city not much to see besides clubs and bars, good shopping and of course the theme parks if thats what you want to do.

EAST COAST.....
Miami, The main strip is PHAT no matter what you do you will have a blast. Hit the Beaches they are always full. West Palm has Clamtis Street which is full of clubs and bars shops etc. Daytona, Club 611 is a mainstay just north of the pier and THE BEACH IS HOT!

This is my first message, backpacking Europe this summer going for 3-4 Months, so I will be Here often! I am actually in NYC for the winter so HOLLA!

Well here is my take on it all. you will be here during may so it will be hot already so beaches are good i wouldnt stay in daytona anymore than i had too new smyrna is near by and much cleaner and much better surf, uhh I personally hate miami but lots of people dig it so who knows. Id also keep in mind that from orlando to new orleans you are looking at at least 12 hours to get there and probably at least that many to get back to any other cool stuff. I recomend savahana GA and atlanta but trafic in atlanta is a bitch. Myrtle beach is nice as is charleston , in NC you might consider Charlotte have a buddy living there and its supposed to have one of the youngest populations for a major city so im sure its got lots to do, also holden beach north carolina is my favorite beach of all time, Lastly key west is only maybe 7 hours from orlando and it would allow you to hit miami on the way so thats what i got for you. In key west you might look to see if fantasy fest will be there when you will its like mardi gras and supposed to be awesome.

Hey moc, just thought of something else, one of my favorite places in florida is Jupiter Island, off of west palm beach. actually west palm is pretty fun too, in addition to the golf if you're into it that is, on thursday nights, there's a section of it where the streets are closed off and people just hang out, shops, restaurants, clubs, the best ice cream place I've been to so far (they have clear door bathrooms that fog up once you lock the door!).

Anyhoo! back to Jupiter (I have a tendency to digress as you can see)... this is a tiny little island, but it has the highest per capita income in the US! When you go there, you actually see the mansions that appear on Archicture Digest! Moreover, the scenic drive is amazing! The beach is gorgeous! At the tip of the island is the best beach there I believe, of course, apart from the private beaches, but at the tip you'll find a great bakery where they make the best key lime pie in the world, no exageration! If you're in the area, and you're into it, you have to try the seafood!

**Mocassin** · 02-05-2004, 07:27 PM

You guys rock!!! There is so much info in here that I think we should write a TP encyclopedia of travel!

Suji, me? A drunk tourist girl!? No way!

And no, I don't go around the streets flashing my boobs just to get beads and just coz I'm french...

**Sijuki** · 02-05-2004, 08:41 PM

Yeah, sure Moc... I am gonna hold that too you. But the next time I see girls gone wild and I see you on there... everyone at TP is gonna hear about it.

**Mocassin** · 02-06-2004, 08:38 PM

Hahahhahha! Come on Siju...Can't you keep a secret?!

**Sijuki** · 02-06-2004, 08:41 PM

I could, but what would I be getting out of it?

**Mocassin** · 02-07-2004, 05:18 AM

My respect, and my trust.

**Sijuki** · 02-07-2004, 05:52 PM

Well, in that case then, I won't tell anyone. I'll just keep it to myself.
