>> To my knowledge any impact there is based on perception which is worse than the reality as far as FL is concerned.

I don't believe there has been an impact in FLA to date. I was in Destin last weekend and every hotel in the area was full. One of our favorite restaurants there, which had been a ghost town last September over Labor Day, was a > 1 hr wait last weekend.

If oil is really creeping up on Pensacola, which makes sense given the reports out of Mobile, FLA could start to see some impact.

But these people are resourceful. A lot of people are envisioning Valdez all over again, and I don't think we're going to see anything like that.
