Patricia Grand Hotel Myrtle Beach

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 ...

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

... so I can continue my trip. I went back 30 Min's later, and reinstalled the new hardware, and done, I got steady 14 volts of power coursing through the engine bay of my RV. I decided to completely Isolate the 2nd battery of my RV, since I suspect the 80's style battery isolator I have is completely fried. No need to burnout the new battery and alternator setup. Can always charge the 2nd batter at base with my portable ...

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.<br><br>

... 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&#8217;s screams as he struggled to keep his head above the surf that eventually took the young man&#8217;s life ...

... we'd made it. In fact, we decided to go quite early. The launch wasn't scheduled till 8.00pm, but the RV makes it easy, as we had an early dinner, and then headed out with pillows and blankets to wait with the throngs. Now, I must say we've officially hit warm weather, hence our swim in the pool this afternoon. So hanging out for a few hours, under the stars, while we wait for the launch wasn't a hardship. Anyway, we ...

... St. Augustin's church, excursion to Frankfurt, more tanzen! And I know I am leaving out a lot of other great things. I do not know if I have a favorite moment. I loved relaxing in St. Goar, but I loved staying with my host family in Rheinbach. Bratislava was probably the most humorous part. The Rhine River is my favorite river in the world. I saw a lot of awesome, beautiful things, and I made friends with some wonderful German, English, Polish, French (and other ...
