I’ve never met anyone who claims that they had a horrible time at an Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotel.  It certainly seems like a major vacation destination spot among many of my friends!  Paul and Sandy have invited us to join them for a few days at the Resort in Myrtle Beach that they have reserved for their vacation in February.  The Myrtle Beach Resort that they are going to has condominium suites with several bedrooms in it.  Paul and Sandy like to invite their friends to join them for a couple of days when they go. 

 

 I think we’ll try to join them – I like going to new places, but I like it even better when I go with someone who has already been there.  That way they can help play “tour guide” and steer us in the direction of only the things that are fun.

 

I’m already looking foward to spending some time relaxing on the warm sandy beach and enjoying several dinner shows that are produced in the area.  I’d like to see the Dixie Stampede!

It is a shame that families are spread out so much in this day and age. Back in the day most folks stayed close, living either on the same street or at least in the same town or county and they all looked after each other the best that they could.  My family has certainly spread out, but at least most are still in the U.S. and for the most part are on the east coast.

 

My oldest brother ended up in Tennessee with his wife and their kids. Tennessee is a beautiful state, we enjoy visiting them when we can and always enjoy the scenic drive up and back, as well. They seem to be doing well there, they have good jobs, a nice home and terrific kids. Of course there has to be at least one in bunch that makes life a challenge. In this case it would be their middle son.

 

This kid has had some issues with drug and alcohol, but they are doing what they can for him. In my brother’s last email, he informed us that they were checking into sending him into Tennessee Drug Rehab, sometime after the Christmas holidays are done and over with. Drug Detox isn’t something to play around with, so they want to make sure that the Residential Drug Rehab Center that they send him to will be a good and healthy environment that will help him through the whole Drug and Alcohol Rehab process.

 

The whole family is keeping them in their prayers. Drugs and Alcohol are bad news. The statistics on our teenagers and young adults that use drugs and alcohol are down right scary. We hope that my nephew will come out of treatment a much better person and live a long healthy and prosperous life.

I’ve been thinking that a nice Christmas gift for the wife would be a get-a-way at one of the nicer Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resorts come summer. We are expecting a nice tax refund check this up and coming spring, and I can’t think of a better way to spend it than the two of us spending a long weekend at Myrtle Beach, soaking up the sun on the beach and on the golf course. Many of the Myrtle Beach Resorts offer golf packages that seem right nice and affordable.

We haven’t gotten away, just the two of us in so long. I think it would be a good thing for us both. I’m banking on using the Internet and Googling “Beach Resorts Myrtle Beach” and seeing what I can come up with on such short notice. With such horrible weather conditions outside today it seems that it would be a good way to spend the day looking around online.

We will see what I can come up with, maybe print off some of the information that I find and put it in an envelope and put it under the tree for her on Christmas morning. That should be a smile on her face and when she is happy, I’m happy as well!

Joe likes to take Myrtle Beach Golf Vacations every February with his wife Margie.  They like to take advantage of the various Myrtle Beach Golf Packages and go for three weeks.  February is a good time to leave this area and Golf Myrtle Beach - it is the coldest month of the year up here, so they can enjoy the nice warm weather of Myrtle Beach and laugh at us poor folks stuck up here in the cold!

 

I understand that there are so many Myrtle Beach Golf courses that you could stay there a month and never play the same course twice!  That could certainly be a challenge – playing so many different courses in such a short period of time!  You certainly wouldn’t get bored with the course!  I can see why so many people would find that attractive!

I can remember learning in college that prices of things were largely due to supply and demand, and competition. In this crazy economy, prices just are not making a lot of sense. For example, when there are a lot of people flying places the prices go up because the demand is high. So the airlines, for example, raise their prices during holiday travel time because the demand is high.

And yet, I heard on the news this week that the airlines are struggling because demand is lower because fewer people are flying. And because of that they are raising their prices again. That just does not make a whole lot of sense to me. If people are not flying because it is too expensive, then raising the prices is not going to fix that problem, is it?
