South Carolina

South Carolina, overall, is a very beautiful state. One of just a few states I wouldn't mind settling down when I get to that point in my life. But it won't be near Mrytle Beach! Somewhere south of Charlotte, NC or further south near Hilton Head or Charleston is more to my liking.

Mrytle Beach is truly a "tourist" town. It appeared to me to be one long strip of nothing but seafood buffets and putt-putt places. Yes, there are tons of real golf course but I'm telling you the number and extravagance of the silly putt places is simply astonishing. You could go there with a date and I believe play putt-putt every night for a year and not hit all of them. Okay, that may be a bit of an exaggeration but not by much.

The part of South Carolina just south of Charlotte is scattered with subdivisions hidden by trees and one could easily find property on a river or lake and seclude yourself if that is what you so wished to do. And even then, you'd have a major city not so far away.

Further South, Hilton Head Island is majestic. What a contrast to Mrytle Beach. Just driving across the bridge on the HHI you feel like you've driven back in time with all the roads being tree lined. Any businesses along the main strip are hidden by those trees, signs strategically placed to let you know just where the local Wal-Mart or Home Depot or Subway is located. Very well architecturally designed.

And having staying on Hilton head Island for an entire week (yeah, I know, not a real long time) but opinion of HHI hasn't changed one instance. Love the area. Now, just need to have enough money to live here. lol

I'm heading back to Indy now to enjoy the ASGA Christmas party with my friends. Afterwards I'll be heading to Texas to spend the Christmas season and more with friends and family. Probably will be in Texas for a month or longer. From there, if I don't have a job by then, I'll be heading off to New Mexico, Arizona, Southern California and on.

Speaking of jobs, I did finally have an interview with a company located in Lexington, KY. The interviews went well but that doesn't really mean anything. I'll let you know if I get the job. Mixed feelings about that for sure!!!! lol

Ciao!!
