Canadian visitor George Bailey, who spent one glorious week along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico in the resorts of Destin and Fort Walton Beach, said it best, "If you're desperate for a break from slushy sidewalks, winter coats, scarves and mitts, and winter's ever present grayness, then point your compass towards the crystalline, sparkling sugar white sand beaches of the Emerald Coast of Florida. The beaches here are so white, they resemble cold winter snow. It looked like the stuff I left a few hours earlier in Canada. But hallelujah, it wasn't snow." Getting there was the easy part Bailey went on to say, "I took a Vision Airlines non-stop two hour flight from the Niagara Falls International Airport in Niagara Falls, N.Y. Flights start at $79 to Northwest Florida Regional Airport in Fort Walton Beach, Florida."
