    Update from Georgetown, SC

    Scott here. I am thinking (maybe praying) we have hit the top of the storm and are on the back side of the worst of it. It is still raining, choppy, bouncy and lots of waves. But, we have been in worse. At least the current and waves are in the same direction and we Read more

    Scott here. Just to throw it out there, feel free to follow us on Facebook as well. Just do a search for MY Happiness or Surf & Turf Retirement. Today was a pretty long day, not our longest day, but long enough. We made it to Georgetown to walk the dog at a nearby beach Read more

We went to church and had a great service said good-by to family and went back to the marina. It was great borrowing a truck, we were able to get some groceries and make it to Read more

    Scott here again! This will get us caught up to today. We had a planned very short day. We are staying in a marina and wanted to get to the marina earlier than later to get our money’s worth. Sounds cheap, but I like to think is smart. And, I’m frugal not cheap! The weather Read more
