Canceled Plans for Orange Beach

So my family and I were planning to head to Orange Beach, Alabama. It turns out that the oil spill has completely ruined our vacation plans. All of the coastline around that area has been closed off and is now inaccessible. I was also talking to my friend today and he said the same thing happened to them. Luckily, the hotel owners were kind enough to refund everybody the money they had already paid for what they expected to be a very peaceful vacation. I figure this disastrous oil spill has ruined countless other vacations as well as ours around this area. Hopefully this will be resolved soon and we can get back to tanning on the beach!

The beach is accessible, but I can see why you wouldn't want to get in the water.... Bill
