The One About The End OMG did it rain overnight. I fell asleep watching TV sitting bolt upright in my chair, wrapped in a big wool shawl, crochet on lap. I woke up at 1:00 and went to bed. I immediately fell back to sleep, but woke up at 3:00 am to intense rain. Buckets slapping against Moya’s sides and top. So hard, I had to get out of bed to make sure it wasn’t the ocean coming up!!! I laid for a while listening to it and fell back to sleep. Up at 6:30, on the beach at 6:45 (about 30 minutes after sunrise) for very unsuccessful shell picking. The wind was so intense I had to give up after less than half a mile. It was awful! So were the shells. The sky is ... read more

Friday January 4, 2013 Myrtle Beach Travel Park I have to start off today’s blog with the events of last night. I made a very conscious decision to leave my camping down comforter home for this trip. Instead, I had my HUGE king sized and heavy cotton quilt, and a small red fake-down throw (Kristine, if your reading, you will remember this one) – plenty to keep me warm until I get to FL where it WILL be warm and I won’t need the HUGE queen size very fluffy very comfy down comforter. Why did I decide to leave it home? Just because it is sooooo fluffy and takes up a full cabinet by itself. I can fit the rest of my bedding in one cabinet, but that blasted thing takes up one all by itself. ... read more

April, 2009 We spent our Spring Break this year in a condo in North Myrtle Beach. This was our first vacation in this area. After nearly 30 years of spending Spring Breaks in Florida, Mexico, or the Caribbean, we found the week’s temperatures here a little cool. On one of the days we made our way down to Myrtle Beach which is only about 10 miles south of North Myrtle Beach. We could find no free parking, so had to feed a meter. For those of you who have been to beach resort towns, then you have been to Myrtle Beach. A total array of souvenir shops lines the thoroughfare. The one shop not to miss, though, is the Gay Dolphin. This has got to be the grandfather of all souvenir shops. The kid in ... read more

Monday March 5, 2012 Huntington Beach SC SP to Myrtle Beach Travel Park, SC Windy Windy Windy!!! OMG was it Windy. Did I say it was Windy? My rig was rocking and rolling and I wasn’t even moving!!!! Up reasonably early, and couldn’t even walk on the beach. The sand was blowing like drifting snow. Took a shower in the bathhouse and packed up awaiting the 11:00 departure to view Nancy’s bicycles. She wasn’t ready until 11:30, and that was making me annoyed, as I wanted to be on the road. I didn’t ask some pertinent questions which would have saved me the aggravation, but both bicycles were men’s, and I can’t get my leg over a man’s bike, so I reneged on both. She was very disappointed, as she really wanted my TV. She was ... read more
