Briarcliffe RV Resort, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

     From the get-go, we liked this place.  (after the swamp that we had just left anything would be better)  Briarcliffe turned out to be much better than expected.  As a Coast to Coast member, there was a $3 resort fee and $5 for 50amps per night.  It's open to the public for $72 a night.  All the sites are paved, back-in and we didn't see any bad sites.  The pool was really nice and it has a small restaurant.  The park is divided between full-time residents and RV'ers which is nice to have them separate.  It is one of those parks where you can sit outside every night and enjoy the evenings.  People are out walking, but mostly driving golf carts and are very friendly.  It was easy to meet new friends.  Great atmosphere with the exception of a couple of campers flying their flags, but it is South Carolina and I guess it's to be expected.  There are places to express your politics, family campgrounds shouldn't be one of them.  (sorry for the rant) Briarcliffe will definitely be a campground that we will return to.  It is truly one of the better RV resorts out there and we've seen a few.

     Myrtle Beach is a really fun town with lots to do and even more to eat.  The beaches are great!  We spent several days just walking the beach and doing a little swimming in the waves.  The water is a perfect temperature to hang out in for hours.  One day when we were out there, a school of small skates (I counted eight) swam by between us and the shore.  We also spent an afternoon on a casino cruise ship.  It takes you out to "International Waters" then opens its casino for a few hours and brings you back.  The whole trip was five and a half hours and set us back $33 and included a decent buffet.  With Jackie winning $550 on a slot machine, it was a good day.

    The best part of the visit to Myrtle Beach was finally getting to meet Brandon and his girlfriend Kate.  I met Brandon on Facebook (he share the same name as my nephew).  We've been friends for a couple of years and meeting him and Kate in person was great.
