Travel Tips from people who've been to Alabama
You'll never know what deals you'll find at the Lost Luggage Store unless you stop in! Good tip? (+1) Mobile is the last largest city in Alabama. Also the prettiest in my opinion. Its the cleanest and safest with very beautiful suburbs, like loxley, foley, spanish fort, and daphne. The style is very southern and charming. The people there are the nicest i've come across in all the places i've been to in the world. They are classy, sweet, and super friendly. Mobile hotels are not cheap, but the further into the suburbs you go the cheaper the rates. Mobile offers a huge navy ship that is located in mobile bay, which you can see from the highway. I believe it's called battlefield park. I never got a chance to go on the ship but it is free to whomever wants to check it out. Mobile was hit by hurricane katrina which you can still see some remenants from the storm. The mobile highway which stretches from the city to the suburbs over the bay was knocked over into the water and had to be rebuilt. You can still see boats sitting in odd places, stuck in marshy waters, as well as hotel buildings with the windows and everything inside blown away, so all you see is the structure itself. Mobile and the surrounding area offer very good food. The best buffet food i've ever eaten was at a place called ryan's. Its $10 a plate all you can eat with the freshest food and yummy southern recipes. To live in the mobile area is also very cheap. you can rent a house for 700, but thats out in the suburbs of say loxely or foley. The area is very close to gulf shores which sits right on the gulf of mexico. To get there is about 40 minutes, but the beaches there are beautiful and when its on season its busy busy and not cheap. it's definitely a tourtist destination. gulf shores is also 20 mins from pensacola. Good tip? (0) While traveling to Gulf Shores you MUSt visit my shop! Blue Girl beading Co. What a fabulous collection of beads! Also, the tourists enjoy Lulus....my favorite restaruant is of course, Villagio Grille at the Wharf (only the best chef in the world is there- my sweetie). Other eats? Try Cosmos, Genos, Bahama Bobs, Sea & suds, & if you'd like to venture down to Perdido Ket you have to try Lillians Pizza! WOW!
Shopping? A cutie little boutique called Charm, also Scarlet Begonias & Michelle's Barefoot Cottage.
Best spot to take your kids? The Hangout & LuLus
Best spot to have a tasty adult beverage? Florabama of course!
