Concerned about your Gulf Coast vacation plans? It’s understandable, considering the oil spill is affecting so much of the area’s beaches and ocean. But don’t cancel that reservation just yet. There are hundreds of miles of beaches, some of which haven’t been affected—yet. I spent a wonderful weekend with my family in Gulf Shores, Alabama, this Father’s Day. The streets were less crowded than usual, as were restaurants and shops. Everywhere we went, we were greeted by grateful business owners and locals. Our waitress at Lulu’s (the restaurant owned by Jimmy Buffett’s sister) asked where we were from and thanked us for not changing our vacation plans. The owners of The Oar House restaurant in Foley even opened their doors to us when we, not realizing they were about to close for the day, arrived for a late lunch.
