The Medlocks are heading out tomorrow morning for the low country of South Carolina, specifically Hilton Head. It's not a bad drive, maybe six to six and half hours at the speed limit. Of course I've taken out a bank loan to pay for the gas.
Unlike previous visits in which we rented a motel room this time we rented a condo since Mrs. Medlock's mother as well as her sister and her sister's son are going. The condo is sight unseen. It's listed as an oceanfront but my experience tells me that's a very loose term that could include a condo several hundred yards from the ocean. We shall see.
My plans are for this vacation to be one of total relaxation. The idea is to get up early, have my coffee and then hit the lounge chair at the pool or at the ocean. I'll read for awhile and doze for
awhile. When I get hot I'll take a dip in the pool or ocean and then
back to the cycle of reading and dozing. I'm taking the current David Baldacci book I'm reading plus two Michael Connelly books and I might take a non-fiction. I'll probably just have a sandwich at lunch but dinner will be special. I've already printed out a number of menus from local restaurants plus we have some we know we want to eat at again.
We're planning on a day visit to Savannah which is always fun and I would like to go to Beaufort one day as well. That city has been the site of several movies including The Big Chill, one of my favorites. I may have to do that one by myself since I'm not sure the others will be interested. I'm not planning on golfing because it's usually too hot. If the opportunity presents itself I might but I don't think that's likely.
If I have access to the Internet I will do some posting but I'm not sure at this time if that's going to happen. In the meantime just call me Francis Marion.
