It's  mid-January  in our "mild" winter climate along the coast of SC  yet I am soooooo  wishing it were already the middle of the summer.   Yesterday, I spoke with some guests  who are  from Michigan and learned they were to get ANOTHER 6 inches of snow last night.  Six MORE inches?  yikes!  Warm sand between my toes ( and  every other  crevise it gets into) , sprays of salt water,  the ever  nostalgic scent of  "tan, don't burn" sunscreen, glistening bodies (aka sweaty) and my ever favorite flip-flops.....yea , THAT is what I'm longing for.    Ahhhhh... paradise!     Not a cold weather creature here  by any degree - particularly when the degrees drop below 70.  

My intentions for this blog  is to share with you, things we have learned   that may  help make your stay on the island more enjoyable (either thru our own experience or from other  sources) .  Where to go, what to do,  insider "tips", restaurants to try (or not), shopping, site-seeing......really just anything  " islandish" is what I'll try to concentrate on and hopefully, in doing so, bring some enjoyment and  humor along the way.   It'll  be a work in progress so be sure to check  it out occasionally and see if you can relate......or better yet, email me if you have suggestions  for things to  post about, comments or  even criticisms (hopefully constructive).   But heads up:  Literary prowess is not my forte .  :)
