Journey in the Jayco

Well, what can I say…did you ever see the movie “Mosquito Coast” with Harrison Ford? That is where we were. Carol’s brother, Peter, his wife Margaret, daughter Samantha and niece Michelle joined us on this extremely odd trip to the beach. I kept saying to Samantha and Michelle “thank goodness Jeanne did not join us”.

To start with, once we arrived we had about a mile hike through a bug invested jungle. Not sure if the heat or the bug bites would kill us first. The good news is we did make it to the water, only to wade in to the calm ocean with a temperature of approximately 95 degrees! We were lucky enough to have the entire beach to ourselves. Imagine that! This beach is what Carol affectionately referees to as the “Boneyard”!

After the beach swim we did find a nice place to have a drink and snacks that made the trip a total success.

Ventured out today to see some local scenery. Palmetto Bluff is extremely beautiful but a bit out of our price range.

As you can see it is surrounded by water. It used to be a hunting preserve for Boar.

After a fabulous night sleep, we ventured out to see the south. We drove to Charleston and had planned to take a carriage ride and tour the city. Unfortunately, it was way to hot for the horses to be out working. So we walked and got hot and really sticky.

We had a great dinner in Beaufort at the Old Bull Tavern “Gastropub” before heading back home.

It has been over a year since we last saw Carol and Peter. This will be our second trip to their home in SC. Our first trip we only saw the house under construction. We plan to play some golf, site see and drink some wine…a few of our favorite things.

We arrived a day early to see Carol and Peter. It seemed as though we had planned our travel days with too few miles forgetting that a car is able to travel much faster than a motorhome. Lucky for us they welcomed us with open arms.

Once again we had the pleasure of staying with our friends and getting out of a hotel room for the night. We also were able to meet up with their friends for a wonderful dinner.
