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 ...

We got up early and went to Calabash to buy Christmas ornaments. Then we went into Myrtle Beach to Broadway at the Beach to see the carousel that used to be in MB. We rode it every year from before I can remember until we finally got "too old" for such foolishness. The organ is there, too, but it was all closed up for the winter.






We fed the fish and ducks and then ourselves! After lunch at the Key West ...

... till his legs actually gave out! I made sure he warmed down from the intense workout Josh's been giving himself and he was fine the following days.

After a good day's skating, and finally on Tuesday November 3rd, we left for Cocoa, Florida. Right as we left, the muffler started rattling real loud, and a sudden loud bang while we were in the parking lot of a Krispy Kreme, stocking up on donuts, the muffler fell ...

Hello Myrtle Beach!!! Oh, how I needed you. As we were driving into Myrtle Beach, SC we all hoped we would be at least within walking distance of the beach. Then our prayers were more than answered when we pulled into the Comfort Suites ON THE BEACH... and even better, with all ocean view rooms. It was gorgeous. Upper 60's, slightly cloudy, warm ocean breezes, and the sounds of the waves crashing as we slept with the door to our balcony open. It was by far the best place we ...

... 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 ...

We normally wake up around 8:30h. Good night sleep. It is important if you want to do your whole day refresh. Breakfast at home. This villa is good for us. Just the right temperature. The bed is solid. Not perfect but good enough to be able to sleep fine. It is a partly cloudy day. I can take those all the time because it is sunny and will be 15c. Almost another tanning day. But we go shopping instead. We looked in the yellow pages  for the store we wanted to go to ...

Finally a beautiful sunny day. Temps look to get into the mid 80's, I think the water temp is in the mid 70's and yes, Bruce has had his feet in. Today we are having a visit from Chris, my "adopted" nephew. We met him at Bearfoot Landing, looked around there a ...
