Hello all! I live in Central FL but originally from NJ. I love to gamble and when i lived in NJ was in Atlantic City at least once or
twice every 2 months. I moved to Florida in 2005 (well actually BACK to FL, i lived here before) . I have been a lurker for a longggg time and enjoy all the
great information, trip reports and adventures that you all post. I thought to myself today, i'm gonna join the board! I've been lurking long enough!
Well, i'll quit babbling and post this already! Keep the great trip reports coming! Nice to meet everyone! Stacy |

I'm not too far from Daytona...about 25 miles south. So it was a long trip, huh? Hmmm...yeah...mapquest says 8 hours or so.
We'll see.... and like you said, the costs are going up either way.

There are flights from St Pete that include hotel packages that are very reasonable. Might be a good way to take the first trip to Biloxi versus the hassle of
driving - unless of course you need to bring your husband's fishing gear!
Welcome to the boards!

Leia thanks so much for the information and yes, the hubby would probably want to bring the fishing gear unless he goes on the charter
boats. they supply all that. he can go fish all day and i can explore the casino floors!!!
Wow i didn't realize how many people are from Florida on this board...maybe someone needs to introduce this board to Governor Christ so he can see how much we need casinos like Harrahs, Ballys etc. |

does anyone know why sometimes when i post it posts my user name and then sometimes it posts with atlantic city one or biloxi one after it. It's really
annoying and i'm still trying to figure this whole yuku thing out!

Welcome to the Board, Stacy! We're glad to have another lurker join us. I live in Florida, but I'm in the Panhandle so Biloxi is a close drive for me. You will love this board. There is so much good information that is shared. Yuku has a lot of quirks and we haven't figured them all out yet, so I can't answer your questions about why you
get the extention on your user name sometimes.

Stacy; I saw this post & the one you did on AtlCity-1, so welcome to both boards. Your path sounds similar to mine. Grew up in South Fla, moved to Long
Isl., NY 25 years ago (a regular at the Borgata in AC), & I hit No. Fla. & Biloxi on trips 1-2 times a year. Up unitl you make your trip, keep posting
on the board. As you've seen, there is a lot of info & an all around good time here. I'm sorry that I can't help w/ any yuku questions;
I'm lucky I know how to turn on my computer in the morning. Thanks for posting & good luck when you do hit Biloxi.----Mike
PS: I don't think you were babbling. You want to see babbling, check out some of my old posts. |

Welcome Stacy! I am aware of Air Tran flights from Tampa and Ft. Lauderdale but none from further up the east coast of Florida. Perhaps driving is your best
option. Would you enjoy a night in the panhandle coming and/or going to break up the drive? The beaches sound quite lovely and there are many dining options
from what we read here. We're still another six years away from retiring but when we have unlimited time, I think we would enjoy driving. Vacation days are
the biggest factor to us at this time.

Welcome Stacy!
I live in Sweet Home Alabama (although I'm originally from Louisiana), so I don't know squat about the driving distances etc. from FL to Biloxi. Takes us (me and hubby aka John Wayne) a little over 4 hours to get to B town from Birmingham. So you liked living in New Jersey? I've never lived any place north of the Mason/Dixon line. What kind of gambling do you enjoy? Slots? Table games? VP? Cathy |
