Vacation in Area If Theres A Problem?
« on: June 20, 2010, 07:40:54 am »
Would you still come or go to an area  that is affected by the oil spill if it was a place you chose to come before oil spill? 

I would due to the place I chose was a place I liked enough to go and try to put some money into the pockets of the local businesses for they need it.  I would not let it stop me b/c there should be plenty to still do even if beaches couldn't be used.  After all people still go to florida and swim even though they know sharks are there and will attack.  What do you think?   :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:

I agree, I would still want to go to try to help the local merchants by spending some money in the area.

Although I have a real hard time going to a BP gas station, I try to stop once in a while because I know they are locally owned so by boycotting them, I am hurting a local businessperson and their employees. Unfortunately, boycotting BP stations does not hurt BP, it hurts your local business person.

I would still go, I don't think it wouldn't change my vacation plans too much...unless they were taking volunteers to help clean the oil off the animals, then I'd spend my entire vacation doing that.

Oh they are taking volunteers to help clean up beaches and animals.  Biloxi Beach is where people are going to signup here but its hitting florida and all the way to New orleans and beyond.  Its true a mess.  Thanks for sharing.    :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wave:
