We made the 44 mile trip to Myrtle Beach. Here at the Moose club we have full 30 amp hookup with water, and a dump station next door. We set up and had lunch at the club, burgers/cheesesteak.
We then took a ride to find the Landmark Resort where we need to be in the morning – so we got a little sightseeing in as well. We came back and had dinner at the moose – all you can eat spaghetti, salad, garlic bread for $5 each…it was pretty good! Of course I had a nice glass of wine too J

Today was the first day of the USS
Tolovana Reunion, which is the ship that David served on during his 5 tours of
duty in Vietnam. We went to the Landmark
Resort (huge, 4 swimming pools, lazy river, pool side tikki bar, etc) and
basically spent the day chatting with folks who had also served on the
Tolovana…and this evening a group of us went to Captain Benjamin’s Original
Calabash seafood house – it was excellent.
The crab legs were hot, fresh and delish, as well as over 170 items on
the buffet. We finished up with
butter pecan ice cream – yum!

We had an appointment with the
Camping Connection to come out and put a new seal on our toilet. David didn’t feel that he could do it and it
started leaking and was causing problems with our new wood floor! Well, took the guy about 20 mins from start
to finish and charged us $166.33.
Believe me, if we need to replace another one I will do it myself if I
have to! Sheesh!
We went into the Landmark for a 10 am
meet & greet, and ended up staying there until noon! Afterwards we went for a drive along Ocean
BLVD, which was pretty nice. Stopped at
‘The Beach House’ for lunch, David of course had a burger and I had a fantastic
grouper sandwich…boy I miss the seafood when we are back in TX or PA…along the
Atlantic Coast it is so fresh it literally pops in your mouth!
We stopped at a couple of ‘junque’
shops and once again I found nothing to buy :)
We came home, got naps and then I made a pot of cheddar broccoli soup
for dinner – it was very good, and since the temps had dropped into the
sixties, it was an ideal fall meal.

Since the dinner/banquet was this
evening, we went to a pancake house for a good breakfast about 11:30, then we
went to the beach and sat in our chairs for a couple hours, watching the
para-sailers, the surfer dudes, the ski-doos and of course old people like us,
just sitting around looking! It was a
lot of fun! We came home and got naps, got all gussied up and went to the Landmark where they served a marvelous Prime Rib dinner – it was excellent and had all the trimmings with it, right down to the cheesecake with strawberries! Then it was time to say goodbye to all the lovely people we met this week! We didn’t get home until almost 10 pm – that is a late night for us!

First time all week we got to sleep
in – we took full advantage! I did a
little cleaning, played with Cinder, watched a movie, then we got ready and
headed out to a Mongolian Grill. This
was a terrific choice – we love them because we pick what we want fresh and
they grill it without oil/butter so if you get lots of veggies it is very
healthy. It was in North Myrtle Beach
which is quite a drive, but I had a $5 off each person discount coupon which
made our dinner under $20…and it included a salad bar, soup and dessert! An excellent value . We came home, played on FB and went to bed
after the ball game!

Today was a sleep in day again – we
went next door and dumped our tanks at the church where there are 3
cleanouts! We called Pastor Mike and he
gave us permission to use one, so for a donation (20) to the church, we can
just head out in the morning – no sloshing around! So, for staying at the Moose club for 6
nights, $60 with full 30 amp hookups, and a dump for 20, it was $80 for a week
– what a great deal! Yes, we could have
put $5 in an envelope as our donation, but we might want to come back this way
again and stay – and Pastor Mike will remember us I hope :)We had a great pizza/salad lunch, and we have enough pizza for lunch tomorrow. David’s sugar does better if he eats the carbs at lunch rather than dinner – I have a pot of beef/onion/potato soup on right now since I had 3 potatoes I needed to use up. I also had leftover spicy beef that needed used.
I will wash the windshield on the MH this evening, and do a little other cleaning as we get ready to head south again tomorrow. The planned route is 211 miles, and I don’t know if we will do it all in one day or stop somewhere. This retirement is hard to take sometimes!
