Running away from home.

Perhaps it's my inexperience at doing such, but making online reservations was not the easiest thing to do.  And so - after searching the hotel site for telephone numbers, I called the reservation specialist.  :-)

A specialist she was, indeed.  The good thing about telephone reservations is, the site does not go down the minute you enter your information, and in less than 5 minutes, I'm set for a long weekend in Myrtle Beach, my big indulgence this year.  An ocean-front room, private balcony, exercise room, indoor pool...free bowling! 

This is gonna be great.  Myrtle Beach in October is perfect.  The crowds have thinned, early morning is cool, almost nippy.  The last time I was there in October, I slept with the balcony doors open so I could hear the ocean and did picturesque things like watched the dolphins leap, close to shore. It was wonderful.

You know, there's plenty on my mind this morning, but I'll just bask in the glow of my upcoming escape for now.

Oh have a ball.  Joe and I are heading to Treasure Island (booked an old Florida style laid back motel) right on the beach...with a balcony with an ocean view...oh..four days I can't wait..its for his birthday in early Nov. Its still hot down here then too. Myrtle Beach used to be my Mom's run away to place also...she loved it.  Take a lot of pictures...love, Sandi PS..I put a direct link to my store on the side of my journal, don't know if you peeked or not.
