Well it is the March Break in Ontario and Sue and I took off as soon as she could get out of work on Friday. We drove through snow flurries until we got near Erie Pennsylvania then it was a snow storm almost down to Pittsburgh. Passed a few accidents and saw a SUV go off the road behind us (why don't people slow down) but we were OK and kept going all the way to Beckley West Virginia where we grabbed a room for the night. Saturday morning we were on the road again and headed southeast through the mountains still seeing snow on the mountain ridges but it was gone at the lower elevations and the temps were rising. Finally pulled into Myrtle Beach South Carolina to the Jade Tree cove resort. Older smallish 1 bedroom unit but right on the beach with a million dollar view and the temps were up to 20 celcius (high 60's low 70's F) We have started on our sunburns and are enjoying the beach sand relaxing, reading and enjoying the sites. We got a call in the afternoon from someone wanting to know if we would like a $100 gift card and other gifts..........ya right a timeshare presentation. We normally don't partake but we had our allotment of sun for the day so decided to sit through 90 minutes for the gifts. Interesting presentation and they do know how to push all the right buttons but we decided it wasn't for us and were getting ready for the hard sell that comes at the end where they sweeten the pot and presure you.........but suprise we said it wasn't for us and they said well thanks for listening take this form to the office and pick up your gifts. whew what a plesant suprise. So where to spend my $100 prepaid visa card Oh I'm sure Sue will think of something.
We both were up before dawn again (a first for Sue) to watch the sun rise I'll try to get a few photos posted soon. off to work on that sunburn :-)
