SAYING GOODBYE TO THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE

What a  gorgeous place.  As many times as I have been to Florida, I have never been here, and I love it.  It is time to leave, and I am not ready, although I know that there are many more exciting places ahead.  There is so much to see in this country.  Here is an example of how pretty it is here:

The sand is unbelievably white and fine, and the water is Caribbean blue and green.  It is as clear as can be and the beaches are oh, so clean.  This strip of land is called "The Emerald Coast" and I can understand
why. I would love to come back here one day.

Tomorrow morning (which happens to be my birthday) we leave for Lafayette, Louisiana where we will stay for four nights.  This is new territory for me as well, and I am looking forward to it.  It will take us about six hours to get there.  Three hours, a nice break in the middle and then three more...easy breezy.
Here is one more goodbye Destin pic.......

Will do my next posting from Cajun Country.......
Blessings,
