Planning Summer Vacation

[Korea]

My sister is planning our summer vacation and has decided that we are going to New Orleans and then Biloxi Mississippi.

Should I be excited or try to change her mind? I don't really know anything about either of these areas. I just want to see some ocean.

New Orleans is a great town if you like food and drinking (there's also some great architecture).  As to ocean, I thought you were pretty close to the ocean in SC?

New Orleans really isn't on the ocean (I think it might techically be as I think Lake Ponchartrain is a brackwater inlet of the Gulf), but Biloxi definitely is.

Well, I am close to the beach but I was wanting to see more of the white sands/clear water type beach which you cant see here in SC but my sister told me I could in Biloxi, MI. Not sure though. :/

What kind of sand does Myrtle Beach have?

Yeah, originally my sister said we would just go to New Orleans but I told her to screw that because I wanted to go to a beach so she added in Biloxi.

Dark?

This is what I want:

Korea, to get that you need to go to Destin/Ft. Walton, which is closer to you than Biloxi anyway.  I don't know what kind of beaches they have in Biloxi (Scip will know, I'm sure) but I don't think they look like that.

Why not go to Miami?

[Caliga]

I'm not sure if Miami has the kind of beach she is apparently looking for.  Also, it would take her twice as long to get there and a trip combining Miami and New Orleans would be kind of impractical.

Korea, go to http://images.google.com and search on 'Destin' to see what I mean.

I figured and Florida is where I actually want to go but my sister says she doesn't want to go somewhere she's already been. Well, I haven't been there! Arg.

Pretty!!

Korea, I have a suggestion: Do not go on vacation with your sister.

Pensacola has nice white sand beaches and is closer to Nawlins than Destin.  Plus you get the Bue Angels!  And a fort!

Yeah, that whole area of the Florida panhandle (the "Crystal Coast", or "Redneck Riviera"  ) does.  IIRC it also extends into Alabama at Gulf Shores.
