More and more women desire to travel not only to take a break from the mundane routine of everyday life but to experience the beauty of the world and to feel a sense of adventure in exploring somewhere new.

What is it about Destin and the surrounding South Walton area that inspires so many women to pack their bags with swimsuits, suntan lotion, and wide-brimmed hats and jet off to their dream vacation?
