05/17/10 - "Book a Room, Eat an Oyster"

These are the words from the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.

Ironically, many visitors to St. George Island are learning that now is the time to book their summer getaway and take advantage of some great deals.

There is no oil on Franklin County beaches. The area is nowhere close to being on NOAA's trajectory map. And if you want to visit the coast, now's the time! The vacation deals are out there and you are probably going to get a good seat in one of our famous local seafood restaurants.

In the meantime, to stay up-to-date on local conditions here, you may visit the TDC website at www.ANaturalEscape.com.

And while your planning that vacation, send me an email for my real estate quick picks. 2010 may be your year for that special investment!

And eat some seafood for heavens' sake!
