First time visitors should probably log on to http://www.myrtlebeachgolf.net and read up on the different courses and greens fees. Some of the courses are lit at night and some are open at the crack of dawn. If you are serious about marathon golfing, you can easily play 36 holes in one day.

Myrtle Beach golf packages can include discounts on greens fees and cart rentals, plus discounts on the hotels or resorts in the area. You can even arrange your tee times online and have everything set up before you leave home.

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.

I know that in the city that I grew up in the city had the street addresses painted on the curbs to help with this type of issue, but I imagine that with all of the budget cut backs most places can’t afford to take on the cost of something like that. So it is up to the individual resident to make sure that they properly display the numbers, and for their own good.

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.

So I usually try to drive myself where I want to go.  The timetable of driving tends to be a lot more flexible, especially when I can guarantee my destination room with my credit card for a late arrival!  And if I arrive a few hours late, well then that’s no big deal, I still have the room waiting for me and the holiday plans can continue.

My wife, however, is always talking about going on a vacation someplace exotic, like Australia or the South Pacific.  I think if we were to plan something like that we’d have to plan to leave our place a whole day earlier than most normal folks would!  Get to the port (or airport) and book a room right there to spend the night so we don’t miss the ship!

I think that one of the funniest plates that I’ve ever seen was in Maine, the plate read “PB4UGO”  – something that my mother always used to tell us kids right before we left the house to go anywhere!  Another good one was “IOIO”, which made me think of the Seven dwarfs going off to work.

Not as clever, but still memorable are plates that are on company vehicles that have some reference to the business – such as a plumber’s truck having the plate “PIPES” or “FLUSH.”  Or a home decorating business have a plate that says “DKR8.”  Yes, I do enjoy trying to figure out a lot of the weird plates out there – makes sitting at a traffic light or traffic jam a little more entertaining!

That’s why the repairpal.com website is a valuable resource to people who take their cars to their trips.  The website helps the users to local reputable auto repair shops around the country.  So if a traveller were to be driving his Chevrolet Silverado on a Dallas vacation and suddenly realized he needs a brake job he could go to the repairpal website and type in the search engine for a Dallas auto repair vendor and what kind of vehicle he is driving and what service is needed.  The website will provide an estimated cost of repair and  trustworthy service locations to take the vehicle.  I think that’s a great resource to know about, don’t you agree?

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.

So when she found out that she could get a bargain on hotel rooms because of this super sale she jumped right on it. She asked me if I wanted to join her, but I can’t get away from work on such short notice. So she is going to go with our other sister Sherri.

I’m glad that she has the chance to go and fulfill a travel dream of hers. And I’m glad that Sherri is going to go with her. I get nervous just thinking about one of my sisters traveling to a foreign country alone!

So for now I’m busy trying to help them find a good deal on plane tickets to get them to Japan for their vacation. After all, what good is a bargain hotel room if you can’t get a decent air fare? I have to admit that her excitement is contagious; I’m a little bit jealous that I can’t go with them!
