Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Our main reason for stopping here is we have an appointment at Camping World to get the air conditioner on the motor home fixed. The good news was it was less then a hundred dollars and we were expecting it to run around 500, so that made us happy.

Most of the Campgrounds in the area call themselves resorts which means they charge about 4 times more then they should, we found one a few miles north of town that was in one of our camp clubs so we got away with half price, which is still ridicules. The nice thing about this park is it's right next to the Barefoot Beach complex which a bunch of stores, restaurants, nightclubs and golf courses. Everything from a Tee shirt shop to the House of Blues or Alabama, and Johnny Rockets Hamburgers to Greg Norman's Australian Grill. Its right on the Inter Coastal Waterway and half the buildings are built over the water and have boardwalks going to them. Every morning we do our walk around there and decided which place we'll go to for lunch, so far we've been to Johnny Rockets & Greg Norman's. Johnny Rockets was nice, good burgers, onion rings and paper plates in the middle of the complex, at Greg Norman's we had a table on the water with a very fancy dinning room. I had the Crab Cake sandwich and Cathy had the House Quiche, great service of course and it was only four dollars (total) more then Johnny Rockets.

The downtown area is really congested and since this is a slow time for tourist everybody is doing their clean up work getting ready for the Thanksgiving travelers

It's been sunny and in the 80's all week with the nights dropping down into the mid 60's.


Next stop one of our favorite places, Charleston, S.C. Hopefully WILMA will take a very wide path around the east coast heading to the New England area. We have a World Series to watch.
