Getting to be that time to make a decision on where to go. Sentiment is pretty even on the two destinations. Here's the pros and cons as I see them at this point. Please add your own.

Sandestin pros:

• familiar territory, we know what we're getting. Although, there's no guarantee we'll get the same units
• free afternoon golf
• free cocktails at the Backdoor
• shuttle service

Sandestin cons:

• most of us have played these courses 4 out of the last 5 years
• booking agent hasn't responded to my emails
• tough to get supplies
• more expensive

Alabama pros:

• new courses to play (all very good according to Kevin Carey)
• 4 bedroom units
• new area to explore
• less money

Alabama cons:

• need to rent cars (people will have to drive)
• no nightlife nearby (fifteen miles away)
• unfamiliar with area
• will have to pay for afternoon rounds, though this looks inexpensive

Bob Hoxie will not be returning this year, he's going to Europe. Haven't heard from the Connelly group or Mike Curcio. Heard that Jim Dolan wanted to go. So we could possibly have another foursome with Mike, Jim, Rich and a fourth to be determined.
