Atlantic Palms Resort Myrtle Beach

Road Warrior And Then Some

I think it takes a certain type of person: Living 24 / 7 in LESS that 100sq ft of living space!! … You sure find out how compatible you are when you find yourself attached at the hip to another individual… With a leash of about 20 ft it is a whole different experience and not without it's challenges: As Steve mentioned tonight after I had spent 20 mins engrossed in conversation with a fisherman … he felt maybe I was ...

Today's weather was perfect for our adventure: a trip to Huntington Beach State Park. Huntington is located at Murrel's Inlet, south of Myrtle Beach. The beach is a small, beautiful, white sand beach with no condos, no houses, nothing to spoil your view (if you are looking north.) Tim and Brenda are birders, so we took a short walk through the woods onto a boardwalk where we saw the ...

... around for a few hours, then moved on to explore some of the local coastline. Unfortunately we had some bad news when we got back to the Hotel, that Caroline's mum has been taken into hospital, so our thoughts are with her at the moment as she makes ...

... Rick confessed that he was a member of their band for a while. He rehearsed with them, then they replaced him when it came time for a performance!

It was good to visit and catch up with the T & B. We had a lot of laughs (and a lot of wine!) It makes you feel young again to be with people who only knew you when you were young! Brenda and I will always be college age when we're together and that's a great feeling!!

... whew, life was good, it slowed us down about an hour and half, and we were back on the road cruising towards the freeway, making our path down to the beach.

We spent 2 nights at Myrtle Beach S.C. and tried out two different skate parks there. One was behind a surf/skate shop and the store never opened that day so it was free skating all day. We met a few local skaters Two, who's name we could remember ...

... stayed yet.

Also, a bunch of us decided we deserved a fun night on the town. We ended up going to this strange little gay bar and restaurant, which just happened to be having Jeopardy night. Needless to say, with my weekly trivia skills under belt, I felt compelled to sign up. I won my round against two of my cast members, and we proceeded to dance and drink and just have fun. Well, only 2 other rounds of Jeopardy were played, so I was one of the top 3 scores, which ...

... gator(s). A lot of wood storks too. Then we talked through the winter home of the Huntingtons, a couple of rich NY'ers who came here in the winter in the 1930's--buying 9,000 acres, because the Missus had TB. He seemd like a good dude as rich people go.

... temporaries, which means they get no insurance, noretirement benefits , no paid time off (vacation or sick). They make $8 an hour and are forced to take two unpaid weeks off every year (scheduled by the employer) to prevent them from becoming permanent.

... only been speculated on. The origins, often debated, claim that a mother and son were splashing in the ocean when the undertow grew severe and the two tried to make it to the shore. The mother arrived safe on the shore, but the boy was bitten by a Stone Crab and fell beneath the surface. The waves were too loud to hear the boy’s screams as he struggled to keep his head above the surf that eventually took the young man’s life ...

... holes we found a small alligator in the creek and large turtles everywhere! I learned a lot, again, and I may make a golfer yet! I had been very happy with my Moab scores in May, but compared to this and yesterdays course, that had been a simple course! I ended up with 159! But by the end I was improving. Barb and John drank a couple 6-packs during the day-we drank water - and by end of the day they wanted to just drink dinner. While on the course I use bright ...
