It’s not a hate for the actual destination. It’s the weird lifestyle thing going on with it where you have to go every year multiple times a year, tell everyone about it, have friends you go with every time, and you gotta put a 30A sticker on your mid size SUV next to the sticker for your kid’s middle school. These same people blow lots of money to go there multiple times a year when they actually could afford to go on a nice vacation to somewhere better on a less frequent basis

I'm guessing the majority of people on this site in Louisiana, Miss and Alabama are going to those places for their vacations. People don't ridicule the location so much as the group think and unmerited pride that goes along with spending a week in certain places. No different than how people shite on the weird Disney/Orlando obsession on this board, or 30A sticker jokes.

They do, but that’s bc it’s somewhere cool and unique, not Gulf Shores for the 3rd time this year and the 30th time in their lives

Couple things:

1) Going to the Maldives is legit more interesting than going to Destin
2) Most people who travel with some regularity in Europe still aren't putting Eiffel Tower stickers on their car to let everyone know about it

There are plenty of people who go to 30A all the time because they like it and have some longstanding connections with the area. Sure, it's a small fortune that could be spent on other vacations, but who cares. A lot of those people, particularly the ones who don't make a big deal out of going there, are probably taking bigger, more interesting vacations as well.

The ones who deserve the ire are the try hards who have the sticker and go down once every 3 years despite telling everyone they know that it's "my happy place."

I’ll just never understand the hate for people who vacation at nice places where their schedules and checkbooks allow them too.

Being a simple kind of man

quote:

To me this is the essence of what it means.

Wear camo
Have a deer lease
Listen to real country music like Jason Aldean (not that golden oldie crap)
Jacked up truck tires
Be shorter than 5'10"
Bring tents and yeti coolers to the mardi Gras parade
Domestic lagers
Spend all fall at the camp
Mix it up with the boys on the weekends
Never be late to pick up your kids when it's your weekend
Say the blessing before you eat on Thanksgiving and Christmas
Cry when a Nascar legend passes away
Stand for the pledge

Ryno - You forgot the 30A sticker on the back of your truck!

Damn, I was just playing into this guy’s list. I’ve been to the gulf coast every year for probably 30 years. Most years twice. I love me some orange beach. But I don’t consider myself better than anyone else, either.
