I love Myrtle Beach. Growing up, it was the only place my family vacationed on a somewhat regular basis. When my wife and I first married, we could visit off season and stay oceanfront for less than $20.00 per night, which was great on our very limited budget. As more shows and shopping have been added, Myrtle Beach is now a year round destination. Do you have any great memories to share?
It may be true that travel will be up this year. I'm planning 2 different trips during the summer months. Some years we don't travel at all during summer. Generally, I prefer off season travel; less expensive and smaller crowds. What are your summer plans?
