Ahhhh, welcome to my world. Only those of us who live at the shore can truly understand. And we call our tourists "shoobies." At one point, the tourists from PA would bring their lunches to the Jersey shore in shoe boxes to keep them from getting sqished. Thus, the "shoobie" was born. Every summer I think I can't take another day of the crowds, but for the rest of the year, I can't imagine living anywhere else!
Weird...I just commented and my old blog name came up that lost access to for some weird reason over 2 months ago...
Weird.
I agree
Our little town has just opened up the cruise ship dock. It's great for the town but it's busy and now the cruise ships are comming more often. We need it for our economy.
The bonus is now you can rent these little scooters and bomb all over town.
That's my thoughts for now

the mendocino coast in the summer... fun for the tourists, hard for the locals.
At least the Jersey Shore has an off-season so that life in a small town can resume. Here in the Big Apple, there is no off-season. I don't imagine there's one in Laguna either.
