Relax...you CAN get there from here!
Have you seen the IllumiNations fireworks show at Epcot yet?
It lasts just under 15 minutes and is the perfect way to end a day at Epcot.
If you’re staying at one of the resorts close to Epcot – Beach Club, Yacht Club, Boardwalk – it’s an easy stroll back home after the show.
There is a ton of great information online about IllumiNations, from the official Disney page to sites like All Ears and WDWMagic. The big question is always:
Where is the best spot to see the show? [Read more…]
Happy 2014 from Myrtle Beach!
Happy New Year!
We took a little of our own advice.
Since we couldn’t arrange that Christmas in the Caribbean this year, we are enjoying some time at the Dunes Village Resort in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The Dunes has an indoor water park that is perfect for this time of year, keeps the kids engaged and laughing, and keeps the parents calm with a cool drink and five different hot tubs. The rooms are comfortable and inexpensive (during the winter, anyway). The wifi is strong, and even the rain outside is not spoiling anyone’s good mood. [Read more…]

Low cost winter getaways?!
Does such a thing exist?
If you’re thinking the Caribbean or the slopes of Aspen, no it doesn’t.
Epic winter getaways to warm and sunny places (or to popular ski resort areas) take some advanced planning – such trips also tend to be expensive.
Playing on the north-end of Wrightsville Beach, NC in January – yes, we said January!
For those of us in the Southeast though, many options exist for quick, inexpensive, and often times even warm winter getaways. Just look to our coast: the beaches and coastal towns of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia hold many options. [Read more…]
The makings of a great bringing home Epcot experience!
Because of Southern Girl Travel, we get to travel together as a family often (but like most of us, we don’t get to travel quite as much as we might like).
If you have ever checked out Bringing Home Beaufort – our project exploring one of the places we truly love to visit, Beaufort, NC – you’ll know that when we can’t travel, we do like to bring home the best of the places we love.
We like to explore ways to bring home that vibe we get when traveling to our favorite places.
One of the best – and easiest – ways to do that is through food and drink. [Read more…]
