My friend is getting married again!!! This time, he will be combining his wedding with a vacation and will be doing the caribbean weddings thing and he has invited a group of his closest friends to attend knowing full and well that the majority of the invitees will not be able to make it. My wife and I are always looking for all inclusive travel deals and thought this would be one of those vacations that we could take with friends. The more we are thinking about it, the more we are liking the idea.
Going on a vacation such as this, will give us something to do. We could enjoy the vacation time and also have a purpose and reason for the vacation. Now my wife and I are actively looking for discount vacation packages so that we could get a good price and be there for our friend’s big day.

My 10 year old is on a mission to try and convince me to take the family on a vacation in an RV. At first I was totally against it and didn’t even consider it, but I must admit, lately, I have been giving it more thought and it does not seem that bad of a suggestion. We are planning on going to North Carolina this summer, and if I can swing it, I will try to extend my vacation by a week and go RV’ing in the area. I think this would be a great way to see that part of the country. I did a search for rv park nc and found that RV’ing in that part of the country is a really big thing..
I have already found out that there is a number of nc rv parks around the area where we will be staying and would be very easy and convenient for us to extend our trip and add this part of it on without having to do much changes. So, rv park north Carolina, here we come. The kids are excited, we are happy that the kids are going to have fun and we will be able to spend some good family time together and have fun all the way around. The kids grow up so fast, that we are now trying to hold on and spend as much time together as we can So, when they suggest something, we want to do it……and have fun!!!!

Up to now, my family and I have been staying at resorts whenever we went on vacation. However, I think all that is about to change. Whenever we are on vacation we are always out and about, visiting people and places or sightseeing. So, if you think about it, we use our hotels to basically just sleep and shower. So why are we paying a premium to simply sleep in a room? We could stay at a places like the Ramada, Days Inn or Best Western and save a good amount of our expenses, which we can use to do more fun activities and/or stay longer.
The Best Western locations are very convenient and clean. They are always located near the attractions we are interested in and provide good service. They are kid friendly which is very very important and some even have activities for kids.
The Days Inn locations have very reasonable rates and offer clean rooms as well. They too are very strategically located and offer great accommodations for families as well as business travelers. I have never ever had any issues with reservations being mixed up or confusion with Days Inn during my business travel days.
My number one choice for alternatives to hotels and resorts is the Ramada. These hotels are really great in terms of their rooms, meals and convenience. Last year during our visit to Lake George, we stayed at the local Ramada and it was just like being at a resort, but at a fraction of the cost.

I want, actually, I NEED to go back to Myrtle Beach again!!!! My last time there was very recent, but I am so anxious to go back it driving me crazy. I miss the Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resort I was staying at. The weather, hospitality and relaxation was so excellent that I can not stop thinking about how nice it would be to go back again and again and again…..my last trip there seems so long ago, but in reality it was very recent. This working for a living thing is way over rated, vacationing, relaxing and playing golf is what I want to be doing all the time.
Just imagine being at a Myrtle Beach Resort with no worries a drink in my hand and the beach in my view. What more can I ask for? What more can I want?
I know this is way off, but I am seriously looking into investing in Myrtle Beach Resorts for the future for when I retire and have more free time to go there on a regular basis and really enjoy my golden years in style. But, before I do that, I want to go back as much as possible to really find out what life there is like as a local as opposed to a seasonal tourinst. At the least, I will have great vacations to talk about.

I’m finally back from my first vacation of this year Myrtle Beach. I told you I was going to go, and I did. I had an absolute blast. Played golf, swam, relaxed on the beach and pretty much did nothing for about 5 days and nights. This was something that I needed and really enjoyed. The Myrtle Beach Accommodations were great.
I was pampered at the hotel and from what I understand, all of the Myrtle Beach Hotels have great service and are very clean. This short little trip, or get away, was perfect. I was able to get rejuvenated and returned home with more energy and ready to take on anything. What it actually did for me is get me thinking about where my next vacation will be to.
This was my first trip to Myrtle Beach, and it really left a positive impression on me. I will definately go back and visit and next time may even stay a bit longer. My Myrtle Beach accommodation was so comfortable that I really didn’t venture out much. I guess this wasn’t so bad after all. It has left the door open for me to return and do all the things I was not able to do on this trip.

Its that time of year again when I need to start planning my summer vacation with the family. Last year it was an East Coast trip to NY and Montreal, the year before it was a trip to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. This year, I think we will be going to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The Myrtle Beach Resorts are top notch places which should be great for my kids. I know I will have a lot to do, and my kids will greatly enjoy the amenities of the Myrtle Beach Hotels and their surrounding areas. I think this will be an ideal time for me to learn how to play golf. If I don’t like it, I’m sure I will love the beach. So, any Myrtle Beach Resort I decide to stay in, must be a waterfront hotel so I don’t have to walk far to go to the beach. On second thought, I don’t think I really want to play golf. The thought just came to me…wake up early and go walk for a couple of miles and try to swing a club or sleep in and then go to the beach and sleep some more under the sun with an ice cold drink in your hand….I definatley think the latter is much much more appealing to me. I mean, I will be on vacation, so I should act like I am on vacation and not be forced to wake up at a certain time and keep appointments.
