Introduction

This trip to Myrtle Beach, our first for 2009, was a brief one from February 13th through the 16th and the primary purpose was to attend a charitable fund raising event which, retrospectively, we can say was a great success.  The weather was, shall we say, extremely variable with the first day being sunny and warmish which contributed to making the drive there and later adventures after our arrival very pleasant.  The second day was best characterized as miserable weather-wise with lots of cold rain and mist emanating from a dark gray sky.  The last two were, for the most part, sunny and dry though the wind was brutally cold especially as it whipped round the corners of the balcony where we were staying.  But on all the days seemingly undeterred by whatever weather was present it was noted there was a fair number of walkers along the beachfront - no doubt hardy northern types who found it nice compared to what they were escaping back home.

We were pleased to be able to try for dinner one new for us high end restaurant and to revisit a more mainstream one upon which we had lavished considerable praise after our last visit to Myrtle Beach.  With regard to that latter restaurant, it was with some apprehension that we visited because of the worry that it might not "measure up" this time around.  We needn't have been concerned though we didn't rate it quite as high as before.

As always on our ventures to Myrtle Beach we greatly enjoyed the opportunities we had to spend time with special friends and to meet new people, in addition to visiting a few of our favorite clubs and experiencing live performances of Carolina Beach Music.  We'll be sharing some of the highlights with you in this write-up.

Once again in order to cater to the somewhat diverse interests of the readers of our Myrtle Beach travelogues we'll divide our presentation into two major components.  Remember there's a Table of Contents link at the bottom of each page to help facilitate selection of and navigation to the subjects within the major sections.  Happy reading!
