Christy and Perry Saving the World

First time in a long time Hard Christy is up first shortly after 5 am as they have to be at their gig for 6 am. They leave just before 6 and I pack up a bit, do a bit of work and get ready to go. I’m on the road about 7:15 am as…

Sunday morning early departure. Weather is very civilized, about 25C, but will rain from time to time. Say our goodbyes and a million thank yous for the unbelievable hospitality. Grab gas at $2.89/gallon, the lowest yet (we paid $4.00 in NY) and the coffee at the gas station is actually pretty good, which is lucky…

Up pretty early, Travis and I have a 9 am tee time at the Oak Ridge course at The Landings about 20 minutes away and we like to warm up. https://www.landingsclub.com/oakridge-course Great egg souffle kinda gig for breakfast and we’re off. Perfect golf weather never too hot, never too windy, never cold. We play with…

The day dawns semi-clear and warm. Rain is gone, forecast looks promising especially considering yesterday. I do a workout, Christy does a swim. We leisurely eat, pack up and depart for the coastal route drive to Savannah. No decent coffee on the horizon. Gotta apologize right here, I killed the Relive app accidentally upon arrival…

Every now and then we make the right decision. We were supposed to camp two nights at the Myrtle Beach State Park which is awesome – right on the beach and close to downtown. But with a gloomy forecast we elected for the solid roof, wi-fi and indoor plumbing (and hot tub). Good decision. Today…

I’m up early as usual. Consider going for a long walk or workout somehow but I think the workout in their back yard would be a little, uh, weird. As for the long walk, I think …. naaaaah. Great to have a hot shower and shave tho. Now if only they had a coffee maker…

I am hoping that empty nesters adventures will start to become more adventurous. Perhaps today. Though the night was calm and beautiful full moon with tons of stars over the ocean, by morning the wind is so strong the whole house is shaking. I secure the hot tub cover as it is trying to sail…

Chris a bit under the weather so I eat her breakfast (sacrifices have to be made and food cannot be wasted). Find a good coffee shop then hit the highway for the long drive to Hatteras. Spectacular day – 26 degrees, no wind, no clouds and we are soon in pretty rural country with good…

Nice day, mild but mostly overcast. Rains a bit including my early morning outdoor workout. We make a dash for Target to buy a kettle since there seems to be a dearth of them at the B n Bs. Then we have a rehydrated breakfast in our new cups. Works pretty g-d good if we…

Crazy good breakfast from hosts Anne and Allen with Mike and Cindy from Bawsten (trying to replicate the accent). That meal had to be worth $20 each and good coffee too. Another beautiful November morning that would eventually turn to clouds with some rain but not bad. It’s a nice drive on good roads and…
