Searching for Real Estate

A good portion of our travels in the south are going to be devoted to looking at real estate. We've been idling looking at a next place to land for a couple of years, but are getting a bit more serious about it. We're now trying to whittle it down to a town and then a specific place. All we know is it will probably be somewhere between Wilmington, NC and Savannah.

We awoke yesterday to a terrible rain storm so the beach walk was shelved. Spent the morning getting organized and writing one of my newspaper columns. The afternoon clears and we head out to look at some property. Not sure if we want to live in such a tourist mecca as Hilton Head but we had a couple of hours so we went to take a look at Colleton River Plantation. It is quite nice...the homes huge, the golf courses manicured, the cubhouses picture perfect. But it is quiet...very, very quiet. Probably can't see us here.

Make a quick stop at the Tanger Outlets . There are two separate phases to this enormous outlet center. All the usual suspects are there. I'm only stopping because I remembered an Ellen Tracy outlet that I had been to years ago. Find absolutely nothing.

Had a terrific evening with old friends I hadn't seen in years. Bob and Eloise have recently moved to Hilton Head and are very happy here.
