Conway Chocolate Walk!

Snowbird friends,

I wanted to share an event that is going on Feb. 12th in Conway, The Conway Chocolate Walk! The historic town of Conway is taking reservations on line for the walk which starts at 11:00 and ends at 3:00. There are over 20 shops and restaurants participating in the chocolate walk and the cost is only $8.00 a person. Be sure and take a "doggie bag" with you to bring home the extras!!
For those snowbirds who have never been to Conway, I definitely recommend the short drive out to one of the most beautiful towns in the Myrtle Beach area. Conway has a beautiful park with a riverwalk that runs along the Waccamaw River and a great downtown area that is home to unique shops and fantastic restaurants-my favorite is Rivertown Bistro! And be sure to stop in The Trestle for a loaf of homemade sourdough bread to take home with you!
Thank you for choosing Southern Coast Vacations as your Myrtle Beach winter rental headquarters.

What better way to spend Valentine's Day...than with a bunch of SHARKS!!!

Hello Myrtle Beach Snowbirds!

Snowbird friends, imagine this; you and your loved one enjoying a romantic dimly lit dinner while Sand Tiger Sharks, Manta Rays and giant fish surround you swimming the night away! Sounds pretty amazing- so we thought you Myrtle Beach Snowbirds might enjoy spending your Valentine's Day in the Ripley's Aquarium "Tunnel of Love."

The "Tunnel of Love" is situated inside a 340 foot acrylic tunnel that will literally bring you face to face with some beautiful and even frightening species of fish, sharks and turtles! Tables will be set up inside the tunnel for Valentine's Day awaiting those lucky enough to score reservations-as they do have a limited # of tables available. The cost is $75 per couple and includes an open bar, menu, souvenir rose, tax, gratuity and admission to the aquarium- not a bad deal considering the $18 per person price tag that allows general admission only to the aquarium!

So Myrtle Beach Snowbirds, you are here on the beautiful coast to experience all of the wonders that define the Myrtle Beach area-why not spend Valentine's Day face to face with some of Nature's most intriguing creatures? Call Ripley's Aquarium today to make your reservation! Check out their website for more information on the aquarium and it's phenomenal exhibits.

"Freezin' For a Reason"--Will YOU take the plunge?

Hello Myrtle Beach Snowbirds!

If you are out and about on February 5th you will have to take a trip to Springmaid Pier in Myrtle Beach to watch some VERY brave "plungers" taking a dip in the icy Atlantic Ocean! Who would participate in such a crazy event- well Myrtle Beach Snowbirds, they are expecting a turn out of around 700 people! These 700 brave individuals are "freezin' for a reason" as the money raised from this event will benefit the Special Olympics organization in South Carolina.

Myrtle Beach Snowbirds, are you up for taking the plunge? If you are brave enough to battle the chilly Atlantic you can register online- if you think the cold might be a little more than you can stand, at least go and watch the hundreds of people all freezin' for a GREAT reason and raising around $100,000!!!

This year's event starts at 11AM with the "early plunge". After that- the fun begins with a costume contest parade, food vendors, relay races and at 2PM the "big plunge"! So clear your calendars for February 5th Snowbirds and partake in an annual Myrtle Beach gathering for a great cause! Whether you are "plunging" or participating in the warmer activities, "Freezin for a Reason" is an event that will entertain all ages-hope to see you there- but don't count on me being in the water!
For more information check out the website, it even has tips to make the freezing plunge a little more tolerable! http://polarplungesc.com/

Enjoy!
