Hi all,
I feel a little silly writing up a trip report. Just because I feel like it's all about me, but I know that some of you read them and get some info so I'll take a crack at it.
This trip is a reschedule from a botched flight in August due to hurricane Irene.
The directair flight from Pittsburgh was pretty eventless, except for my father an sister hitting big city traffic and only making it to the gate after all rows were boarding. I admit I was a little worried. I made it in plenty of time though. We were stuck in the back row, but aside from a little turbulence and little leg room it was a good flight. I am still amazed at a plane's ability to get you to far away places in no time at all.
We arrived and picked up our hertz rental car and went directly to
K&W, our favorite place for meals here. The fried tilapia was excellent and the coconut cream pie was to die for, at $1.69 per slice!
We arrived at the
Seaside Resort early and had no problem checking in early. We have an ocean front condo and it is very spacious and nice. My sister's bathing suit broke (I don't know how a suit can "break," but then again I am not a female) so I rushed her to walmart and picked up some supplies as well.
The Seaside Resort has been great so far. They have indoor/outdoor pools, lazy river, exercise room, free parking, and it's right on the beach. My only complaint so far is that the indoor parking garage is very tight fitting. Luckily, they have an outdoor lot across the street which I will probably use from now on. So far the resort is a hit and I'm giving it 5 stars, but let's see if that holds up.
As for the beach, it's been sunny with the sun hiding behind a cloud now and again. The tide is the lowest I've seen I think ever. It seems I can fit two football fields between the ocean and the buildings. It's pleasantly warm, but I I'll admit I think I like the summer weather a bit more. The water seemed a bit cold at first but I made it all the way in. A good thing about this time of year is that the beach is not crowded at all and you have lots of space. I have never been here this late.
I'm going to try to rent a bike perhaps tonight. We will either go back to K&W or try rosa lindas. I shall keep you posted...if you care. :) might try to upload pics but not sure if I can do it from the iPad.

We ended up going to
California pizza in barefoot landing. At first I wasn't excited, as I felt we can get pizza at home anytime. It turned out to be a decent meal. The server was very nice. We did wait a while for our food, but I don't know if that's just southern slowness or just plain slow service. We got a large pizza, which was good but not the best pizza by any means. We also had the chile Thai wings which were very good. I was going to go to Maggie moo for some ice cream but decided not to given the amount of pizza I ate. Has anyone had Maggie moo? Settling in for the night watching the Pitt game in our condo. We are early to bed people. :)
