Lazy Day
We spent a few hours trying to sort out a condo at Destin for the end of our trip then headed for Broadway on the Beach where we watched Good Luck Chuck with Jessica Alba. Usual huge theatre with just 5 people in it. The film is a watchable comedy and we ...
Savanna, GA - Myrtle Beach, SC
und wieder liegt ein bundestaat hinter uns. wir haben georgia verlassen und befinden uns jetzt in south carolina - genauer gesagt in myrtle beach. auf dem weg haben wir halt nahe charleston gemacht um die "boone hall plantation" zu besuchen - eine ...
First you have to have change in the climate .....
... . At some point I was going 85 MILES an hour (close to 1 million km. an hour) and people were passing me. We made it in Myrtle beach at 6 pm where the temperature was a balmy 4 C. which was 1 degree less than at home the day before. So I deduce that ...
local stuff that's what makes the difference
... to Vegas for a month (camping and gambling on the same site: what a life). Then went to Texas for a while. They are in Myrtle for at least 2 months. They put us to shame with their seashells collection. Some of the ones they discarded on the picnic table ...
Wild Wing Avocet
Wild Wing was the first course we played after Mark left. Great course, with good weather. One small problem, we were behind a small tournament and we had to quit by the 16th hole. We just couldn't take it any more. After already ...
Shaftesbury Glen
Another in the Glen group of coursess. Early morning tee time, poor service but very nice course. Who runs out of eggs before 8 am? Just not right. The only day of marginal weather, as it sprinkled on and off all day. A little ...
Farmstead Golf Course
... simplest and best courses I have played this week. But it was great to play it. Great condition, and a ridiculously long par 6, at 672 yards. Great to play on our last days in Myrtle Beach. I can't wait until next year ...
The Pearl Golf Course
We bumped up the tee time for Mark. He was leaving at 2 and we were tied at 3-3. Even though we played 7 days 4 went into extra holes and on day was 36 holes ending up all square. What a great week and good golf by all. ...
We're Off!!!
Our planned car packing on Saturday suffered a serious setback when it poured rain all day and most of the night. We were delighted Sunday morning to be greeted with balmy weather and sunny skies. With careful planning everything fit in the car. I ...
Long Bay
Long Bay was a long course. The forecast was for rain during the day and we managed to get around with the rain only hitting us on the last few holes. However it was heavy rain and it was easy to get very wet which saw the most sensible ...
Day 8
Day started out beautiful, with a wonderful sunrise. Hung around the pool some today because the beach was windy then we just did some shopping. After supper we hung out watching the front of the building. This must be the hang out for the bikers because ...
Myrtle Beach
... ;over the next few days we will be around and about Myrtle Beach, we have tickets to the Carolina Oprey, Myrtle Beach Skywheel (Mini London Eye) and the Myrtle Beach Speedway for a 'club' Nascar Race, Lots of Love Les & Caroline ...
Possum Trot
... (weta) had sensibly arranged a late morning start - as they did throughout the week - and a lovely little (a relative term in Myrtle Beach examples) course called Possum Trot which was more or less 'over the road' from our house. The weather was a tad ...
Willbrook
Willbrook was arguably one of the golf course highlights of the week. Beautifully laid out with pritine fairways, greens and flora. Willbrook is built on the site of a very old plantation which goes back to the 1700s. Uniquely, the ...
Dick has the crabs!
Saturday night saw us visit Barefoot Landing and a visit to The Crab House (mostly for Dick's traditional attack on the Alaskan crab population). It was raining but we were able to run into the restaurant, but walked much more slowly out later. ...
Playing golf and being Crabby
... seafood restaurant (Crabby Mikes). Nice, not too expensive and quick. Tip: For you Canadians, you can't pass 2 - 3 hours in a restaurant in Myrtle beach or everywhere else on the east cost. After 1 hour they want you out. So please take your time but be ...
Day 4
Sunday, last day of Myrtle Beach Bike Week, we checked out more vending but many of the places were closing up. Not that we really need anything. Went back to play on the beach for a while. Walked around the downtown area and met the neighbors. Watched ...
Lowland Cruising....
... home to Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, where Barb worked. “Thanks for your service!” Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, was our destination for the day. Again, mini-golf, souvenir shops and more buffets and ...
Myrtle Beach - Day 1
... It was hot too - we got our first taste of the sticky heat there. Once we pulled out of there, we were not far from Myrtle Beach. We got to our hotel here pretty quickly. The hotel is great - it must be new because everything looks really nice. After ...
Oh Carolina
... what they were doing when they heard Alan's accent and begged him to keep talking! They don't get many out of towers apparently! Myrtle Beach is not exactly what we imagined. It's quite tacky, full of motels and car parks, really built up and a bit old ...
Happy Thanksgiving!
We lengthened our regular run to 7k this morning to show our support for Ryan and Margi who aw running the Chicago marathon this morning. I know, I know....not quite the 46k they'll be running, BUT - we played golf yesterday morning (walking the course, ...
'Nuther Parking Lot
... ;and their body shop was able to buff them out. On the road again by 3 pm. We had originally talked about staying in Myrtle Beach and playing some golf. Decided we should just start heading home. Definitely heading due South ...
The blue sky helps you at first...
... afternoon made it colder a bit. We did our daily walk (going to the recycling, visiting part of the campground, going to the beach, meeting a cat and talking to some humans). So this kind of day makes you think that better days are coming and that we may ...
