Denise and Rick Cunningham

Like many boomers we're planning the "next chapter". We live a fairly chaotic life in Georgetown in Washington DC. I'm a former fashion executive and journalist. Rick's an engineer and computer scientist. We're about ready for a little change of pace. Travel... perhaps moving to warmer climes ...and definitely savoring more moments. We never set out to buy an RV...matter of fact, we had never even been in one and I definitely don't camp. But, now, with more time and a growing aversion to the insults of air travel, we bought a 40' motor coach. Our grandson, Ian, named it Gigantor. We call it Tor for short.

We're seeing things you just can't from the air and finding that we've so much to discover on this continent. In the past two years, we've taken three marvelous six-week trips. This time, we're "chasing the sun for as long as it fun". We left on October 5, 2009. We'll see how long we last!

We're searching for great places to stay, sights worth seeing, golf courses worth playing, great restaurants, shopping, farmer's markets. We're on the road in search of the high road.

Exploring Sea Pines

We are greeted by a glorious morning and set out to take a walk around the resort. Some very nice facilities....large pool and hot tub...6 Har-Tru tennis courts....and a clubhouse, all in a nice landscaped setting.

I guess I failed to mention earlier that we had an ice storm in DC two days before we left. Rick took a quick trip down the stairs on his back when he went out to get the papers. He seemed okay, but he has gotten progressively worse. We spend the morning searching for a massage therapist. Rick locates Greg at Island Massage (843-816-4404) who agrees to come in on a Sunday and see if he can fix him up. I drop him off and head off down the road to check out Sea Pines. I had wanted to play the Harbor Course, but not sure Rick will be able to.

Just an FYI, there's a $5 daily gate fee. There's a few good shops around the faux lighthouse...Currents carries the women's collection from Vineyard Vines and S.M. Bedford carries a good selection of women's Lily and Izod. Drive around the entire area, but mostly find it a bit tired and not very interesting.

Pick up Rick and decide that our planned dinner out will instead be in. He heads achingly to the hot tub, I marinate a terriyaki flank steak, make sesame noodles and lemon pepper sugar snap peas.

We look forward to heading to the beach in the morning for a brisk walk.
