Are you ready for a Mammoth vacation, and by the word, mammoth, it is being referred to as both an adjective and a noun. In adjective form, a mammoth vacation should represent everything in excess. This includes the landscape, which should be covered with thick, mammoth sized forests and vast high-dessert plains. The surrounding mountains should be as beautiful as they are majestic in size. As far as things to do, there should be plenty of activities available 365 days out of the year, and they should not only be abundant, but offer a super-sized experience from the norm.

We have two pieces of good news along the Gulf Coast today.  First, the leaky well is being plugged successfully with BP's "Static Kill" effort and second, ther US Government released a report saying that most of the oil is already gone -- it's been cleaned up or decomposed.  Read the full article from Yahoo! here.

The implication of course is that it's now safe to come visit the Gulf Coast.  Of course, many of y'all already knew that and didn't really need the government to tell you!

Please consider visiting this wonderful part of the country.  If you do come, enjoy the amenities of home and more space than a hotel by renting a condo. Visit http://www.abetterstay.com to view the Web's largest selection of professionally managed Condos along the Gulf Coast.

Have a great day.

The BP oil spill has left many travelers wondering whether or not they should cancel their upcoming Gulf coast vacations. The uncertainty of possible beach closures has made it difficult for many to plan and make decisions.

Luckily, there are still many areas along the coast where the beaches are still clean and free of tarballs. Panama City Beach is one of these places and Oaseas Resorts has taken action against uncertainty by changing their cancellation policies so that travelers will NOT be charged a fee if they choose to cancel their reservation because the beaches close before their stay. "If the beaches are closed to the public due to the oil spill, Oaseas will waive our standard cancellation fee and give you a $200 credit for a future stay," said Marty McDaniel, President and CEO of Oaseas Resorts. To prove to the public that conditions on the beach are stellar, Oaseas Resorts has been posting videos to YouTube showing that the water in Panama City Beach is just fine. Take a look:
