home from Myrtle Beach

Got home last night from Myrtle Beach. Had a WONDERFUL time!!! We stayed at Ocean Creek in the Towers(north, e-6). Very nice ! We went to Barefoot Landing, Broadway at the Beach, Planet Hollywood, and T-Bonz. And of course to all the beach shops. I should warn you of the one shop called ';Eagles'; in North Myrtle Beach. My friend was looking at t-shirts for her daughter and you know how you hold them up to check out the size-she did that and the man working there came over and snatched it out of her hand and took it the counter and refolded it. Needless to say, we left that store!!

The beach was great-the first morning I went out to take a walk, and there was all kinds of coral and little sea urchins everywhere. All the years I%26#39;ve been down there, I don%26#39;t remember seeing those. I figured it must be from the storms.

I am planning on returning again next year!!!

home from Myrtle Beach

Glad you enjoyed your vacation, I hope the coral and urchins are still there when I visit in a couple of weeks, I like to go out first thing in the morning with the flashlight and see what the tide brought in, I especially look for the big shells, hard to find them whole, usually just fragments. I would have been upset by the clerk also, that was rude! I think I would have had to take an armfull of shirts up to the register, let them ring it up, and then suddenly have a change of heart! Nah, just don%26#39;t want %26#39;em. Make sure they knew why I was rejecting the merchandise too! Hey, it%26#39;s only fair. Everyone deserves common courtesy, no customers and they wouldn%26#39;t have a business.

How rude!! How do those people expect to stay in business if they treat customers like that? I think I would have intentionally just picked up another one ( or 20!) to ';check the size';. LOL. Better yet, just ';accidentally'; knock over a stack of folded t-shirts or something. I know that sounds mean, but it sounds to me like the clerk deserved to be folding shirts all afternoon!

yugie - I%26#39;m also going to MB in a couple weeks. Actually in 11 days I should be there!

Will all this rain be gone from MB by Friday June 30th ??

We will be arriving on Friday and I hope the rain will be moving out by then.

Will all this rain be gone from MB by Friday June 30th ??

Actually, it looks the the coming weekend will be pretty good! We should have most of the tropical system gone by Wednesday...then we start to dry out....still look for the possibility for those afternoon ';seabreeze showers'; that we can get, expecially with all the heat and humidity we have! Today we have a 60% of rain, and the sky is that Carolina blue with those HUGE puffy white clouds....

patricia resorts

does anyone recommend a particular resort in the Patricia Resorts. There are 2 adults and 2 children (ages 9 %26amp;15). planning our vacation next year possibly in Myrtle Beach. Is it a better to go during Spring Break or in the summer? we are tossed between MB and Daytona Beach (just went to Daytona Beach in this month).

patricia resorts

If you are deciding between Spring Break %26amp; summer....summer is definitely better weather-wise. You can have beautiful days in the spring at MB but also some downright frigid temps!

I think Spring Breakers still have a blast regardless of the weather but since you are bringing two kids I%26#39;m assuming that beach weather will be important.

If you are just comparing MB to Daytona....there is no doubt that MB would be my choice as far as safety, cleanliness, etc.

MB Experts . . . events this weekend?

Hello,

My husband and I will be in MB this weekend with some friends. We are all late 20%26#39;s - early 30%26#39;s with no kids. Are there any special events planned this weekend that we should check out? I have looked online, but it doesn%26#39;t seem like too much is going on, which is surprising since it%26#39;s a holiday weekend!

Thanks for your help!

MB Experts . . . events this weekend?

I bumped up a great list that Bob had posted awhile back....a few to add to that would be The Pelican (our Atlanta Braves affiliate, which are leading their division right now!) will have a concert and fireworks at the game on Saturday! You might also want to check out www.GrandStrandEvents.com. This site lists a number of events taking place all year long!

Enjoy!

What's going on w/e 30th Mar 07?

Just provisionally looking at hotels for the weekend of 30th March - 1st April next Spring.

Many hotels have no rooms available and what is left seems extortionate in price, I assume there must be some kind of big event or conference going on?

Anyone know?

Thanks :o)

What's going on w/e 30th Mar 07?

That is Spring Break for many public schools as well as some colleges. Many families will be traveling and taking short vacations. The spring flowers should begin blooming. It is a great time to be in Charleston. I do not know of anything else. Someone else might know if a large cruise ship will be arriving or departing that week.

What's going on w/e 30th Mar 07?

That is the Cooper River Bridge Run weekend - www.bridgerun.com. In 2006, we had over 30,000 folks in town for the run/walk. Great time to be here but also very crowded and as you%26#39;ve discovered, higher hotel prices.

Thanks for the responses. I thought it was strange so much already booked this far in advance.

We will be driving back from Florida, our last trip there, and I vowed I would visit Charleston this time on the way back (we have already visited Savannah before). I am desperate to visit Charleston!

I have provisionally booked the Residence Inn downtown/riverview, although I know this is not walking distance to the historic area. I just want the whole day on the Saturday to explore. We will be leaving Sunday moming anyhow, if we can get out with some of the roads being closed!

Thanks again for the info :o)

...forgot about the Bridge Run! It is also Flowertown Festival in Summerville.

Just back from Myrtle Beach a week ago

We just came back from staying a week in Myrtle Beach. There are so many things to do there and so many placed to eat. We went to Barefoot Landing, Broadway at the Beach (my son enjoyed the amusement rides and the fish), Alligator Adventure, Nascar Speedpark, and Ripley%26#39;s Aquarium.

The restaurants we ate at were: The Great American Steak %26amp; Buffet (was absolutely wonderful and inexpensive compared to the rest of our meals), Original Benjamins Calabash Buffet (great crab legs and fish, but I was disapointed with the dessert I had), The Hard Rock Cafe (great experience and the BBQ sandwich was good), Lawry%26#39;s Seafood (great shrimp and crab cakes), Sam%26#39;s Corner (great place for hot dogs and sandwiches), and Burro Loco (was average for Mexican, because I prefer authenic Mexican).

We stayed at Grande Shores and had a wonderful experience. The staff was great (especially housekeeping), the amenities were awesome, and I loved being right on the beach. The only thing I didn%26#39;t like about the room was the bathroom was small and the closet was not enclosed. I would definately recommend for the price.

Great to hear that you had a wonderful time! Next time in town, if you want some great Mexican food, try Fiesta Mexicana...and its not far from Grande Shores, about 4 blocks south of Sam%26#39;s Corner, there at 71st Ave N and Kings Hwy. Great food, wonderful staff, a delicious Margaritas!

Thanks. We saw Fiesta Mexicana, but tried Buro Loco because it was on the ';best of the best'; list. Now I wish I had gone there.
