18th Mississippi Coast Coliseum Crawfish Festival in Biloxi

March 8, 2010 in Events, Family Travel, Food Events, Mississippi Hotels by Steven

I’ve never been a professed fan of 90’s alt-rock outfit the Gin Blossoms. At most I know one of their songs. But if I was a Gin Blossoms fan, I’d be one of the luckiest Gin Blossoms fans in the world. Since 2002, I’ve had the opportunity to see them live and for free four [...]

See Walking with Dinosaurs: The Arena Spectacular

December 22, 2009 in Events, Family Travel, Illinois Hotels, Mississippi Hotels, Nevada Hotels, New Jersey Hotels, New York Hotels, Virginia Hotels by Steven

At USA Travel Guide, we don’t often feature traveling shows or exhibits, especially if show dates are no more than a couple days each. This is because we like to recommend hotels and all that, and with traveling shows that always feels a little silly. However, and this is the official vocabulary, exceptions can and [...]

November 16, 2009 in Golf, Holidays, Mississippi Hotels, Outdoor Adventure, Shopping by Steven

Here in Dallas we just enjoyed a nice shorts-worthy weekend, but in most of the country temperature dials are headed south. As it happens, so are a whole lot of people.

Going on six years now, one of the biggest car and truck events in Biloxi, Mississippi is Scrapin’ [...]

Mississippi Coast Coliseum Crawfish Festival in Biloxi, Mississippi

March 12, 2009 in Events, Family Travel, Food Events, Mississippi Hotels by Steven

So we’ve been at this awhile now, and no doubt you’ve realized that I’m biased towards certain things. Ghost tours are big for me, as are zoos and aquariums, and I have a penchant for late-90’s pop culture references, but maybe nothing gets me excited as a good food festival. The sights, the smells, the endless [...]

Deep Sea Fishing Charters in Biloxi, Mississippi

January 27, 2009 in Mississippi Hotels, Outdoor Adventure by Steven

If you haven’t found a Valentine’s Day vacation that’s right for you yet, then you’re beyond help. I’m moving on!
After those last few posts we felt a need to “man up” the blog, and save for lumberjacking and ice road trucking, I can think of nothing manlier than deep sea fishing. I don’t recommend you [...]

Snowbird Vacations in Biloxi, MS

December 22, 2008 in Golf, Holidays, Mississippi Hotels by Steven

Snowbird [snoh-burd] – Informal: a person who vacations in or moves to a warmer climate during cold weather.
Sure enough, our winged friends aren’t the only ones who head south for the winter. Leisure migration in the wintertime is big business in places like Georgia, Florida, the Keys and the Caribbean, which is probably why season [...]
