As I write to you it is 5am on Thursday morning. In front of me is a lavishly appointed kitchen outfitted with more and better appliances than most restaurants have. My backyard this morning does not need mowing.

It is quite sandy and a few feet further back the white sand turns blue. I am on the 22nd floor of the fabulous Turquoise Place in Orange Beach, Alabama. The Ragin' Cajun Tailgate Getaway Weekend is here.

There is still time for you to join us for the party this weekend. You can book your place to stay here with me at Turquoise Place or just down the beach at The Beach Club. There are accommodations for groups  of all sizes. There are one bedroom units up to five bedroom units and they are all at a very low Ragin' Cajun price for this weekend.

Our reason for being here? It's a new tradition we are building. We all want one more trip to the beach right? We all love Cajun Football right? Why not combine the two? This weekend the Cajuns are in Boise, Idaho and we're tailgating at the beach instead of the backyard. Not only have we negotiated some incredible low rates for Ragin' Cajun fans but we've got the hook up on some great golfing too.

The courses at Kiva Dunes and The Peninsula Golf and Racquet Club are in pristine shape. The weather is going to be wonderful and with a Cajun kick off at 9:30pm on Saturday night you've got time for a round or two.

Our hosts here have also put together some special deals and events at great restaurants like The Gulf and the Hangout. We'll all gather on Saturday night to watch the game at Baumhower's Sports Bar at the Wharf. By the way the Wharf is a total shopping, entertainment, stuff to do, destination that has got to be a part of your Gulf Coast getaway anytime of the year.

The weather is here, I wish you were beautiful! No, the weather is beautiful, I wish you were here. We know there are already hundreds of Cajun Fans coming for the weekend, make sure you're here too.
