Quote: It has been 20 years since my last trip to Myrtle Beach and WOW!. It's not the same town I visited then! There are theaters with talented performers, malls that are huge outdoor facilities with various themes, miniature golf courses on nearly every corner, and restaurants for every budget! OH...and they have a BEACH!

WOW! Myrtle Beach isn't JUST golf courses!

Overview

Quote:

This trip was especially memorable because it was just the girls...doing the kind of things WE like! Mike likes to hunt and fish -- theatre is NOT his cup of tea, and especially when they are musicals! We ran hard all week trying to stuff as much of Myrtle Beach into our memory banks as it would hold and fell into bed each night exhausted!

Prestons: Seafood and Country Buffet

Restaurant

Quote:

Preston's is a great buffet. The hot food was HOT and the cold food was COLD. The atmosphere was relaxing and enjoyable, and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. There were so many items to choose from on the buffet tables, if you walk away hungry, it is your own fault!

Crocodile Rocks at Broadway at the Beach

Attraction | "Crocodile Rock"

Quote:

Dueling piano bar and it's a BLAST! The very talented musicians solicit requests, keep the crowd in stitches, and the audience participates in the lyrics as directed by the piano players. It is a lively and fun-filled evening as they pit the North against the South and other antics! We had so much fun that we went back the next night too!

Alabama Theatre

Attraction | "Holiday Show"

Quote:

The holiday shows throughout Myrtle Beach begin November 1st and the Alabama Theater is no exception. The performers are very talented, but my personal opinion is that early November is too early for the Christmas spirit and I really wish we could have seen "The One" that usually is the musical performance at the Alabama!

Attraction

Boone Hall Photo - Boone Hall Plantation, Charleston, South Carolina

Quote:

We decided to spend a day exploring (HEY, you can't shop ALL the time!) and headed for Charleston. On the way, we stopped for a guided tour of Boone Hall, one of America's oldest working plantations continuously growing and producing crops for over 320 years. Boone Hill was founded in 1681 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A costumed guide in period clothing showed us through the mansion and explained the history of both the area and the plantation. We explored the nine slave cabins (circa 1790-1810) and walked through the plantation gardens. It was a very interesting and pleasant way to spend a few hours before proceeding on to Charleston.

Tip about purchasing show tickets!

Story/Tip

Quote:

An example of the extra mile given by the staff at the Sheraton Plantation at Broadway at the Beach: we planned to go to the Palace Theatre to see "Broadway" and inquired at the desk about the purchase of tickets. The following tip also applies to the "Spirit of the Dance" performance at the Palace. The delightful young lady at the Sheraton went out of her way to make recommendations. She said tickets had to be purchased at the Palace, but we should be SURE to ask for the dinner/show special package because it wouldn't be mentioned as an option unless we specifically asked. Purchasing a show ticket only is approximately $32 -- because of her tip, we paid approximately $37 for a wonderful dinner at...Read More
