Fireworks of South Carolina — Charleston, SC
South of the Border Hamer
I did not want to wake up this morning. We agreed on 7:30am to be on the road by 9am. We had a complimentary breakfast included so we took advantage of that before we left. Nothing major just toast for Tim and I attempted a waffle you make yourself. Epic failure and wasn't really a fan. First up to drive was me. Of course it ****** down whilst on the hwy doing 115kms. I slowed down real quick when I couldn't see a few metres in from of me. When we left the hotel at 9am it was a little cool I was wearing a jumper. Fast forward 2 hours when we stopped at another fireworks shop for tim. It is freaken hot and sunny. Sunny and humid. This is the weather we should expect for the next few weeks. 30 degrees heading towards Florida. Tim is very tempted to buy fireworks, he is disappointed he can't send any home. We had lunch at South Of The Border a tourist stop just south of the North Carolina boarder..lol Driving has been ok, I get the hang of driving on the other side of the road. I just forget about the indicator which is located opposite side of steering wheel. Often our window wipers indicate we are turning...lol With two hours to go from our lunch pit stop its now tim's turn to drive. In Canada they do not allow billboard signs on the side of the road. In the USA there are thousands of signs tempting you to stop for attractions or food or hotels. Checked into our hotel. Quite a view room. Unlike many Australian hotels the US/Canadian don't usually have bar fridges in the room. The Marriott in charleston not only had a fridge but a microwave. And a bathroom I could move around in. After settling in and watching some talk show, I think it was Ricki Lake about coming out of the closet. We set off to the drug store to stock up on some items and then off to dinner at the outback..lol I want steak again and it's the closet thing available. Tonight will be an early one as we have several hours to drive tomorrow. Our destination Titusville near the Kennedy Space Center. There are a few tv shows on tonight that I really want to watch like private practice and hart of dixie if I can stay awake.
