The Ocean & A Good Game of Golf

I’ve heard that Myrtle Beach is getting a large amount of people this summer season. Since the major oil company, B.P. has trashed so many of the other beaches, folks are finding that Myrtle Beach has nice clean water and beaches to offer the general public and is welcoming them with open arms.

Summer is almost over and I don’t have any vacation days left for this year, but I would like to look into visiting Myrtle Beach next summer. I have not been there for a good long while and it would be good to see how it has changed since I’ve been there last. I enjoy the ocean and enjoy a good challenging game of golf and Myrtle Beach has both of these qualities.

I was online earlier and found a website http://avistaresort.com that is advertising some nice looking and sounding resorts in Myrtle Beach that I’d love to stay at next year. It is great that the Internet makes find a good Myrtle Beach hotel a much easier task to tackle. I have plenty of time to find the perfect accommodations and will keep you posted on what I discover.

Survivor

I have always enjoyed watching the hit reality show Survivor. I have only missed 3 episodes since the beginning, thanks to my DVR. I just saw a commercial saying that they were switching to Wednesday evening. Survivor has always been on Thursdays, since day one. This will take some adjusting, I’m just glad that I saw the commercial.

Roll With Them

I love being spontaneous. I do try and plan things out but sometimes things just happen and I have learned to roll with them as best as possible. I don’t mind getting a last minute call from someone and running out the door in order to get somewhere in the shortest time possible. I did grow up here so I know all of the roads like the back of my hand and I’m sure that I know each and every shortcut that is possible around my hometown and the cities that surround it as well, so I can get places pretty darn quick if needed.

I love going to sporting events, even though I’m not really active in very many. I do however enjoy playing a game of golf every now and then. My folks brought us up playing golf and I’m grateful for that. It is a nice easy going game that just about anyone can play and they have golf courses and tee times just about everywhere.

My folks just got back from their annual Myrtle Beach vacation last week. They wanted me to come but I couldn’t really take the time off of work and I all ready have a long weekend planned for the last part of September. My mom was telling me last night that they had a good time, the weather was a bit wacky but all in all it was a success. My dad found a website at www.48hourteetimes.com that they had to utilized during their stay in Myrtle Beach. They are a full service hospitality group that helps people with their accommodations and their 48 hour tee times. Since so many people are flocking to Myrtle Beach S.C. this year due to BP ruining so many of the other beaches on the east coast a lot of the hotels and golf courses have been slammed with customers that need some help finding their way around and finding what is available and for who.

I’m glad that my folks are computer literate. Many people their age are a bit timid when it comes to maneuvering around on the Internet, but they have mastered it quite well and use it to their best advantage when possible. And I’m glad that they are spontaneous, that must be where I got it from, a double dose of it, to be sure.

Himalayan Salt Lamps for Example

We all have things that we are interested in and find ourselves collecting pieces now and then, here and there. The flea market is a great place to find all types of treasures, from all over. The one flea market that is open only on Sunday has such a diverse flavor to it. People from all over the world go there and it is best described as being “Spicy” which is cool by me.  

It’s a good place to find unique treasures that you wouldn’t necessarily find at most market places. Of course you can always go online and find most of the items but what fun is there in that. On a nice day it does a body good to get outside and spend the day walking and talking with people from a variety of places. I’m sure I could find some Himalayan Salt Lamps or a Native American War Bonnet online somewhere, it might take a little digging, but finding one at the market just gets the endorphins going and makes for a pleasant day all the way around.

The Saints Kick Some Super Bowl Butt

Last night’s Super Bowl game was a great game. I think that I actually enjoyed the game more than the commercials this year, that is a first. I did enjoy watching The Who perform some of their hits at half time, their music and the light show was fabulous, where as their singing voices left a lot to be desired. But then again we are all getting older.

I’m glad that the Saints won.

Boxing match

One of my wife’s best ideas ever was to buy my father a couple of Mayweather boxing tickets for the big fight coming up in March in Las Vegas.  I know that Dad and Mom have been wanting to go to Las Vegas for a second honeymoon for a long time now, and we think that this is a good time for them to finally take it.  Now we’re trying to get them a good rate on a nice place to stay and make up an itinerary for the rest of their travel arrangements.  Dad has been a big boxing fan for as long as I can remember, and he’s really excited about the trip and the match!

Riding and roping

Bill loves the rodeo, and he has been encouraging me to go to a rodeo with him.  But not just any rodeo – he wants to go to the Houston Rodeo next March.  Naturally he wants to tie it into a family vacation so we all go down for several days and include the rodeo as part of the vacation.  He says he can get the best Action RodeoHouston tickets online for all of us.  He explained to me that the Action seats are the ones where the audience get the closest possible to the ringside action without actually becoming part of the show themselves!

I’ve always marvelled at the skills of the rodeo participants.  It’s hard to tell which event is my favorite.  I enjoy watching the skills of the contestants in the roping contests; I’ve always wanted to learn how to rope!  But I think that the bull riding contest has to be the most exciting because I just cannot even imagine being in the right frame of mind to climb on top of a bull who is intent on getting you off of him as fast as possible!

I’d also really enjoy going to see one of the concerts after the rodeo.  I went online to see what concerts are lined up, and I guess it is too early right now to make that decision because there are a lot of performances still to be announced.

Having fun in an RV

I’ve always wanted to go camping in an RV as an adult.  I used to go with my family when we were younger, and I’d like to see that type of activity through the eyes of an adult.  I can remember as a young boy my parents took us in their tow-along RV to a gettysburg camping park.  It happened to be a very cold time of year, but I don’t remember exactly when it was.  I do remember though that the poor little RV had a really tough time keeping us all warm through the cold snap!

I think if I were to go pa rv camping again as an adult, I’d make sure to go during warm weather months!  And I’d make sure that the RV’s air conditioner and heater were in great shape, just in case the weather got extreme.  And I’d make sure that I’d review the different pennsylvania RV Parks carefully to make sure that the amenities were more than a simple trailer hook-up with water, sewer and electric.  Or at least be close to some attractions that would be fun to go see!  Just sitting around the RV can get boring after a while!

Die Hard football fans

Are you a die hard football fan?  Are you related to one?  My father was a die hard football fan.  He loved to watch the nfl Sunday football show on television every weekend.  I’m sorry to say that he died before we found out about the nfl sunday ticket program through directtv.  If you have directtv, you can get a great deal on their nfl sunday ticket schedule.

Don’t know what the nfl sunday ticket is?  It is a package that allows you to watch up to 14 NFL games every Sunday throughout the football season just by paying their monthly nfl sunday ticket price.  If we had this service when my father was still around, he would have thought he’d died and gone to heaven!
