The Traveling Karr has been out and about again. One at a time if you please! So without further adue... The Traveling Karr himself!
Greetings Minions,
I know you are all buzzing with curiosity of where my travels have fallen. I have to say one of the latest trips has been interesting on all sides.
Two weeks ago we graced Hilton Head South Carolina with our presence. An interesting little place and I have to say I rather well enjoyed it. The Writer was forced to work the night before at the place where she earns her meager wages therefore we missed the first part of the trip. As normally the writer is content to look out the window and snap plenty of pictures this was a change.
We slept in the back with the baggage. Which made getting there very quick actually. The last thing either of us remembers was the writer's father yelling out of the window in some town close to where she spent the first part of her life and asking someone if someone by the name of Brian was around...
Brian if you are out there... We will find you.
He was not. Up the road a few miles we stopped at a traffic light in a place called Rincon. Again we did not see anything of this town. However, they apparently have plenty of fire trucks. We heard many sirens... Apparently they were having trouble actually finding the fire as this went on for several minutes.
Finally we reached the hotel and I must say... This place met every one of the Traveling Karr's high standards. It was clean, very nice, and within' walking distance from the beach. If you are traveling to Hilton Head I very much recommend the Holiday Inn Express.
Though on a side note... You may want to avoid the elevator. I tended to get a little nervous when it dropped a few inches every time someone stepped on. However, despite the loud noises it made it did not fall... Still though. Take the stairs. Not only is it good exercise but it will be less likely that you will die.
The first day we were there it rained quite a bit. Which lead to the cause of a near death experience on a bridge in which a very large truck passed us on the left hand side and threw water across the windshield thus entirely blocking vision. Mr. Truck? I will find you...
We did make it out of that safely though.
The next day proved for better weather. The writer spent most of the day laying down by the beach, then by the pool, then walking around the island and shopping. I spent most of the day tagging along. I'll have you know I could entire go with the beach bumb look.
It was a wonderful little outing. We ate at one point at the salty frog. If you go there order the club sandwich on potato bread. Maji claims it was the most amazing club sandwich ever. If you don't like sandwiches don't go there. Everything else was horrible. Unless of course you like spicy french fries.
We also ate pool side which I have to say... Of all the places to eat, the pool side bar had the best fried shrip. Go figure on that one...
Another good place was the Long Horn. Very good fried shrimp, great steak, and an interesting atmosphere. Though I have to say the dead stuffed animal hanging on the wall kinda gave me the creeps...
Then it was time to come home. A very relaxing weekend and the trip home was uneventful. Though I do resent the two and a half hours Maji spent at the outlet mall... For shame...
Until next time loyal minions...
