Myrtle Beach, SC

Just came back from Myrtle Beach and it was soooo relaxing! I've been talking about moving somewhere warm for a while and SC appeals to me except for the tornado/hurricane issues. We stayed at Compass Cove hotel, and their condos were great. Oceanfront balcony and the master bedroom faced the ocean as well and had it's own bathroom. We even had a washing machine and drier but the drier did not work. The clothes got warm but stayed wet, not damp, but wet! Needless to say, the laundry room had super hot driers that you had to PAY to use. We tried making pasta one night and the water never got to boiling point! It was ridiculous. Other than that, the place was clean and well kept. I fell in love with the covered pools, lazy river and Jacuzzi which we used the first few days when the weather was bad. The beach was also kept clean. We would see dead jelly fish on our early morning walks but they would be cleaned up by mid morning. Everyone was searching for sea glass, I'm not sure if that is a new fad but I had never heard of it. The last person I mentioned it to suggested this book for my reading pleasure
 Sea Glass,

 actually now I don't even know if this is the book 




Sea Glass ,
 ugh, I hate when people write books with the same titles! Now I'm going to have to do some research...
But back to Myrtle Beach, it was like Atlantic City and Coney Island but with clean water. The beach went on for miles but they would charge you $2 and up to walk a pier.Meh. I had some great food at this really top notch restaurant called Golden Corral hehehe. Ok I jest, but I do love that place. The Sea Captains House with oceanfront dining, and Captain George's restaurant were delightful. I would go back in a hearbeat!
