Simple things are worth blogging about

When I get free time and that hasn’t been much lately, I do like to get on the golf course and hit a few balls. I’m not that great of a golfer and most of the time I have no idea where my golf balls are going. It is a fun sport and I really do like the game of golf. Since I don’t have much time to play right now, I would like to take a vacation, but not any vacation, a golfing vacation is what I had in mind. Doesn’t a golfing vacation sound fun? That got me curious to see if something like Myrtle Beach Golf Vacations even existed and they do! You can have a vacation just for golf and the only thing you do on this vacation is play golf!
How expensive are Golf Packages Myrtle Beach?
It really isn’t that bad and some of the courses offer special discounts too. You probably get cheaper rates for the more you play on your golfing vacation too. If you use a website called Ttimes Only, you can get in touch with the golf courses you want to play at and book your tee times online. I haven’t reserved a tee time online before, but just thinking of that sounds exciting for me.
Why choose Myrtle Beach for a Golfing Vacation?
I guess this question could be answered with a question and it would be easy to say “why not”? Myrtle Beach is a great place to take a vacation and just in general this is an excellent place to choose for a family vacation. A golfing vacation would be great here, because you have over 80 golf courses in the area you could play at, so you aren’t going to run out of new places to try. If you did purchase a Myrtle Beach Golf Package; then you could play at places like:
*Aberdeen Country Club
*Azalea Sands
*Brunswick Plantation
*Black Bear Golf Club
*Dunes Golf and Beach
*Heron Point
*Leopards Chase
*Lions Paw
*Man O War
*Panthers Run
*Thistle Golf Club
*TPC Myrtle Beach
*Wild Wing Avocet
*Woodland Valley
These are just some of the great golf courses you could select while staying in Myrtle Beach. I know everyone that has ever picked up a golf club before knows who Robert Trent Jones is and he was a great golfer. He also designed a lot of golf courses and I do know he designed the one located at the Waterway Hills Golf Club in Myrtle Beach. I live in Canton, Georgia and this is where lots of family members live that are related to the great Bobby Jones. His grandpa built a successful business in Canton that was known as the Canton Cotton Mills and these buildings are still standing in our city today. There are many golf courses designed by Robert Trent Jones and the Masters in Augusta, Georgia are also his design. I would certainly choose the Waterway Hills Golf Club as one of my golf courses to play and not sure on the others just yet; since they are so many places to play golf in Myrtle Beach. If you’re looking for a place to play golf all week long and want a huge selection of courses to choose from, how could you not choose Myrtle Beach as your golfing vacation destination?

Since June has already arrived for this year, I’m sure most families have their summer vacations planned and all the reservations have already taken place. Most families ony take 1 vacation a year, so you may be booked for your limit this year. If your family takes a 2nd vacation or you plan to take a late summer vacation and no decisions have been made yet; then let me offer up a suggestion.
Williamsburg is located in the great state of Virginia and would be a great place for the whole family to enjoy. I know you probably hear the line about “the whole family to enjoy” a lot, but it really is true for this beautiful area in Virginia. The old world meets the new world here and I know the adults would enjoy the flavors of the old world better than the kids would. I’m sure the kids wouldn’t mind a little time at Busch Gardens theme park or Water Country USA water park and both of these are very close to Williamsburg, Virginia. There is great shopping available in this area and also a good choice for first class dining restaurants. I love the food places on my vacations and Williamsburg easily passes my food test, I have in place for choosing great places to visit.
Go ahead and add this to the list of possible travel destinations for this year or for the family vacation list of 2010. You can also stay at a nice resort while visiting Williamsburg and there is a Westgate in this part of Virginia. Their website can provide you with more information about Williamsburg and all the comforts they offer while you’re away from home. People that travel up and down the east coast of the USA to get to their travel destinations, may want to make a slight detour and spend just a day or two in Williamsburg. Virginia is a great place to take a break on a long driving trip and a chance to soak up some rich history that is found in this part of the country. I hope you have a great summer vacation this year and please drive safely!

If you own a RV and like to take long trips in it; then you may want to make North Carolina a future spot for your travel destinations. I love the state of North Carolina and you are always just minutes from the beach or a trip to the beautiful mountains in North Carolina. The nc rv parks are all around the state and this can save you a little money on hotel and motel bills. These parks are all well kept up and you and your whole family will enjoy these rv park nc.
It really isn’t hard to find one of these great RV parks in North Carolina. You can do a lot of searching online to see which parks have the best rates and are located closest to you. An rv park north Carolina is a great and affordable way to spend a family vacation this summer. Any RV owner would love to drive their big motor homes to North Carolina and stay a few days. These parks have beautiful scenery and you may even get lucky and see some of the great wildlife in NC. I wished my family owned a RV to take long trips on and this is the best way to travel in my opinion. These RV’s give you a chance to bring your home with you on the road and you don’t have to worry about the services a hotel may or may not provide. It’s always nice having a piece of home with you when you travel to different states and these big RV’s provide that to the people that own them. If you and your family haven’t picked out a travel destination for this summer yet; then give the great state of North Carolina a try. I think you will have a great time and you won’t regret an over night stay in an RV Park or if you plan to stay longer than just one night.

Anyone that is getting ready for a trip to Alaska will want to check out the cabins in Denali. These Denali Cabins are located near the entrance to the Denali Park. The park is a national park in Alaska and it’s always a popular place to visit for tourists and travelers. I love the look of these cabins and I think it would be the best way to enjoy a trip or vacation to the state of Alaska. There is just so much beauty and wildlife in Alaska and I think these cabins offer the best way to experience it all.
You can take tips on Travel Alaska . Alaska Travel opportunities may decrease in the future if we don’t stop the effects of global warming or the new term they use now “climate change“. The trips for now are still going on and you better hurry if want an Alaskan tour or the chance to stay in one of those great Denali Cabins you can find near Denali National Park.

How nice would a vacation in 2009 be if you had the chance to go to a Myrtle Beach Resort? I think that would be a vacation I could get excited about. If you like to have fun in the sun and going to the beach is your idea of a vacation; then Myrtle Beach is a perfect destination for any traveler. Everything in and around Myrtle Beach makes it a great place to visit, but staying at some of those nice Myrtle Beach Resorts would be a vacation in itself. You don’t need the sandy beaches or waves from the Atlantic Ocean if you got the chance to stay in one of these resorts. There would be a lot of things that would become secondary, if you and your family got the opportunity to experience a few days at a resort.
Who would enjoy these resorts in Myrtle Beach the most? I think the golfers would be the answer to that question. Playing a little golf and working on your game during your vacation is one of the many benefits a resort can offer. You don’t have to be a golfer to enjoy a stay at one of these resorts and golfers don’t have to go to a resort to play golf in Myrtle Beach either. Choosing to stay at one of the great Myrtle Beach Hotels doesn’t mean you can’t play golf and there are several ways to find your self teeing off at one of the nice area golf courses.
Do you like to play golf on your vacation? I know some people see the sport like it’s a workout and unless you have a good stroke, you may find your self doing a lot of walking. Playing a lot of golf might not be something you want to do on vacation and there are tons of other things to do in Myrtle Beach. If you do enjoy taking the driver out and launching a few balls down the fairways; then Myrtle Beach is idea for any golfer. Be sure to come back here and let me know which courses you played on or if you decided to visit Myrtle Beach for another reason. Have a great vacation this summer and don’t forget to bring the golf clubs (just in case).

Does your family take more than one vehicle on long trips or for a ride to the beach or mountains? I know ours do many times each year and we have always talked about getting CB radios in our vehicles. I have now found an easier way to communicate on those long family trips. This is cheaper and easier than the CB radio idea and you don’t have to worry about wasting cell phone minutes or losing a cell phone signal.
These awesome little hand-held radios would be perfect for staying in touch on long trips. I’m sure there is a lot of other things I could use these two way radios for, but the long trips is the first thing that comes to my mind. Each vehicle could have someone with a hand-held radio that could let the other vehicle on the trip know what’s going on. If one vehicle wants to stop for food, to stretch your legs, or if it’s time for a bathroom break, you would just have to radio the other vehicle to let them know what’s going on. No more flashing the headlights or waving your arms like crazy to get the other vehicle’s attention. You just talk into the radio and they could instantly hear what you had to say. No need to stay bumper to bumper either, because these radios have a range of 20+ miles, so if the two vehicles did get separated; then your communication would still be working!
Where Do I Buy Two Way Radios?
You can pick these exact ones up at Buy.com. They currently have them in stock and your shipping will be free! You can always find cool merchandise there and it’s a good place to shop for those tech gadgets we like to play around with in our spare time. You have probably seen Howie Mandel doing TV commercials and its Buy.com that he’s promoting. This is the place you need to go first for the two way radios and see if you can still find them on sale. If you order the Midland X-TraTralk Two Way Radio, you will receive:
The features included with each two way radio:
Is that a lot of features or what? There is a lot of cool extras you will get with this specific set of two way radios. I know this solves the family trips now and our cars can talk to each other with these two way radios. People that love the outdoors and like to go camping, fishing, hunting, or hiking could use these too. A father and son could stay in contact with each other when they are in the woods hunting separate from each other. It won’t be long until Father’s Day, so now would be a good time to order these for dad!

Is South Carolina on your mind or perhaps a trip to the coast to see the beautiful Atlantic Ocean and the beaches around Myrtle Beach, South Carolina? I have taken 2 trips to Myrtle Beach when I was younger and it’s really a nice place to take a vacation. You will be hard-pressed to find a better place in the southeastern part of the United States to take the family for a vacation. The folks in the Carolinas are so nice and Myrtle Beach is a good, clean place to take the kids. I’m about 8 hours away, so taking a weekend trip there is not out of the question for me.
A North Myrtle Beach Resort is one of the great places you could choose to stay at while visiting these awesome beaches. There are several North Myrtle Beach Resorts you can choose from and you may want to see which one you and your family like the best. Towers on the Grove has a grand opening special and this may be worth checking out first. You can also register at anytime this year to win a 4 night stay in a 2 bedroom condo and a winner will be announced in January of 2010. If you go visit this year and would like to come back, you may be able to do it for free, if you win their online sweepstakes they have going on in 2009. Their rooms are perfect for the kids and you can get 1, 2, or 3 bedroom units to suit the space your family will need on vacation.
Have you ever visited Myrtle Beach before? Feel free to share your stories with me good or bad. I haven’t been there in about 20 years and I know a lot has changed since then. From everything I have heard so far, it’s changed for the better. I would love to go back to Myrtle Beach in the near future and I might just have to plan a weekend stay sometime this summer. Don’t forget about the Oceanfront North Myrtle Beach Resort, if you do plan to consider the Carolinas for vacation this year. Have a great time and be sure to travel and stay safe on your vacations this year!

A 30 year old man in China was aboard a flight that was carrying about 150 other passengers on board. The Chinese Government is now trying to track down all the members that were aboard that same flight to China as the new flu enters the mainland of China. It’s a growing concern around the world for everyone and now the most populated country on the planet is reporting cases of the H1N1 flu strain or more commonly known as Swine Flu.
A 3rd man in the United States has passed away and his death is being blamed on the new flu virus. It seems this new strain is causing some lethal problems for some that do get infected. Most are recovering from the swine flu and it’s not much different than the seasonal flu or influenza that kills thousands every year. Most of the northern hemisphere is entering the warm months of summer and should see a decrease in the number of cases being reported. The southern hemisphere may just be at the start of their flu seasons and they are probably seeking a flu vaccination much more aggressively than the people living in the northern parts of the planet. There are about 4,300 cases that have been reported world-wide for the new strain of virus that is sweeping the globe.

I know the Vegas vacations are always popular and Las Vegas might just be the top U.S. spot for vacations.

The new Major League Baseball season is now open for business. Baseball began on Sunday night and now all of the teams are in action right now. It’s strange how they schedule games in some of the northern climates this early in the season. I think they should strive for more warm weather ball parks, so all games could get played this time of the year. They play spring ball in the states of Florida and Arizona. I think they should start the season at the spring facilities for each Major League team. Let the fans that support these teams in Arizona and Florida get to see a real game or one that counts in the standings. If they would just extend the spring session and let these games count on the real schedule, we wouldn’t have canceled games this early in the year. I’m sure there would be an increase in Orlando vacations being booked for the spring, but this would prevent the games getting postponed. I think the people in Florida and Arizona deserve to see a few games that count in the standings for the teams they support each year. They get to root for their teams in a real game and Major League Baseball will get 3 extra weeks for Mother Nature to warm up the rest of the country.
