Stupid oil spill spoiled my Gulf coast beach vacation plans

Hubby, kids, and I try to take an annual beach vacation. Since I've been looking at possible destinations on the Internet for a few months now. I began my search again.

Hubby tells me to forget the Gulf coast this year because of the oil spill and could take a year to clean up? I was like, "are you kidding me?"

A year? A whole-freaking year????? No way.

Now, I am looking at destinations at the Atlantic Ocean side. I'm not too fond of it. But when I was in Miami, FL, last summer, the ocean and beaches were a lot nicer than compared to Myrtle Beach, SC.

What to do, what to do?
