Myrtle Beach Vacation 2006 Part 1: The Trip & Arrival

Hey Y'all!! I am back. What a great vacation in South Carolina! Beautiful sun, sand and surf as well as some good food (I tried Raw Sushi for the first time!) was had by all. There will be many parts to this story, so heed my warning! Let's begin at the very beginning...it'a a very good place to start!

Firstly we were supposed to get a grocery getter (Minivan), but when Kathy went to pick up her reservation, there were none left. Why reserve one ahead of time right? What did they have? A big honkin’ Ford Excursion!!! He gave her a deal on the mileage but gassing up would be a mint. The good think about driving the monster was that we had room to breath which is good when you are making a 14 hour drive!!!

We began our adventure in the afternoon Friday and stayed overnight in Virginia, just past Richmond. The next morning we got up, got some Krispy Crèmes and coffee and headed out. We arrived around 2pm in Myrtle, picked up the keys to the condo, did some grocery shopping and were at the place by 2:30pm.

It was a two bedroom condo overlooking the ocean from the 12th floor with a kitchen, living room and dining room and a great balcony. Once we got settled (Kathy in the king size, the girls in the twin beds and I would sleep on the pull out couch in the living room which was very comfortable by the way!) got our suits on and were on the beach by 3:15!!! Here are some pics of the place and the view!!

The bedrooms were big and comfy as well. The King Bedroom had a vanity and a seperate full bath and shower, the second bath was in the hall next to the other bedroom with the twin beds. We also had a small washer/dryer unit as well! We were set for a great vacation!

Stop by tomorrow for Part 2!!!
