The purpose of our trip to Panama City Beach was to attend my nephew's wedding. But our 5-days-and-4-nights experience with beachfront living made us forget the gloomy upstate NY weather. And our small family, contingent of New Yorkers, got an authentic initiation into Southern culture, courtesy of my nephew's new Alabama in-laws.
The bride's parents own a beach house on the far west end of Panama City Beach, and the wedding was to be held there, ocean-side. Not knowing anything about the area, we took the advice of the bride and rented a townhouse at the Ramsgate Harbour complex. It was great advice -- a spacious beachfront condo that was only a 10-minute walk down the beach to the bride's house and other beachfront houses where other family members were staying.
More to come...
