For those who don't know, this past summer The Official Myrtle Beach Welcome Center partnered with <a href="http://plantationresortinsider.blogspot.com/">Plantation Resort</a>, Conway Chrysler and others to give away amazing prizes. Our weekly winners won a 3 Day, 2 Night Vacation to Myrtle Beach and our monthly winners won a 50" Flat Screen TV. November was our last month you could enter to win our Grand Prize... A Jeep Grand Cherokee! <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />

<br />Mr. and Mrs. Luna said on winning the grand prize, "We never thought that our search for a home during a vacation would give us the opportunity of winning a new car. God has truly blessed us, because we have never owned a new car before. When Mr. Starkes called my wife, she was skeptical at first, because we have never won anything of this magnitude in our whole lives. When we actually found out that this was true, we were so ecstatic and excited about seeing the car for the first time. Upon the days approaching our trip to get the car, we were so happy that we had to share the news with our extended family and obviously, they didn’t believe it. When we came home with the Jeep, the expressions on their faces were priceless. We never thought we could have been as lucky as we are, winning this new car. We'd like to thank the Official Myrtle Beach Welcome Center and Plantation Resort, as well as Sam Starkes, Susan Payne and anyone else who were involved in making this possible for our family. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for blessing us<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3196410153885329411"></a>." <br /><br />We are so excited for the Luna Family and all of our other weekly and monthly winners this summer! If you didn't win this year, don't worry we have more prizes to give away in 2013!

It can be hard to find the balance between budgeting your money, yet not limiting yourself in the experiences Myrtle Beach has to offer. We have already explored how we can save money on <a href="http://allthingsmyrtlebeach.blogspot.com/2012/08/tips-for-saving-money-on-vacation-part.html">airfare</a>, <a href="http://allthingsmyrtlebeach.blogspot.com/2012/09/tips-for-saving-money-on-vacation-part.html">driving</a> and <a href="http://allthingsmyrtlebeach.blogspot.com/2012/10/tips-for-saving-money-on-vacation-part.html">attractions</a>. Today we'll discuss how to save money on one of vacation's greatest indulgences: food!</div>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWbmREjpvtCxoSkaPB5ELQK9o3vH1sb5EmTa5uFTFFZFLl4hCAnLUa5XGQWlLst5cthmHfJ7pgiEKsuthp9Xb58Bmf3KMaCdNMMfhZRRAjlOQguDPxqw88DhHlt4KC00fsc7Zc49rbYSM1/s1600/Picnic+on+beach.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="166" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWbmREjpvtCxoSkaPB5ELQK9o3vH1sb5EmTa5uFTFFZFLl4hCAnLUa5XGQWlLst5cthmHfJ7pgiEKsuthp9Xb58Bmf3KMaCdNMMfhZRRAjlOQguDPxqw88DhHlt4KC00fsc7Zc49rbYSM1/s320/Picnic+on+beach.jpg" style="cursor: move;" unselectable="on" width="320" /></a><strong>Pack lunches.</strong> If you're driving, food expenses tend to add up from the moment you hit the road. This is especially true if you have kids with you complaining of hunger every hour! But instead of spending your food budget at McDonald's and Wendy's, why not wait and use it at the local restaurants your destination has to offer? Before you leave on your road trip, be sure to pack a cooler of snacks, sandwiches, fruit, etc to keep everyone fed. Do the same before you hit the beach! A picnic lunch sitting in the sand is an experience you won't want to miss- and it will save you money. Purchasing water bottles at the beach can be quite expensive, so be sure to bring your own.<br />
<br />
<strong>Take advantage of discounts.</strong> Before you come on vacation, do your research! Many restaurants have places where kids eat free, which will save you a pretty penny. Be sure to also look for coupons on restaurants.com, groupon.com and by stopping at the <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=1800+U.S.+501,+Galivants+Ferry,+SC&hl=en&ll=34.015815,-79.218206&spn=0.025078,0.045447&sll=33.719746,-78.878808&sspn=0.201322,0.363579&oq=1&hnear=1800+U.S.+501,+Galivants+Ferry,+Horry,+South+Carolina+29544&t=m&z=15">Official Myrtle Beach Welcome Center</a> on your way into town.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq_jtP4p1NRqdwd6Xk3hDCgDABVcunZXCdx1XyvB2Tlu_J8K6T4kptcFC8cYFIA4pat7KZgjmvRjAnL94AUU85AOyh_30gT2yC5-oxR9EtOhxs2bINhHWkro0ixyBXD0Ofiv1f9hbrDdLb/s1600/Groceries.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq_jtP4p1NRqdwd6Xk3hDCgDABVcunZXCdx1XyvB2Tlu_J8K6T4kptcFC8cYFIA4pat7KZgjmvRjAnL94AUU85AOyh_30gT2yC5-oxR9EtOhxs2bINhHWkro0ixyBXD0Ofiv1f9hbrDdLb/s200/Groceries.jpg" width="176" /></a></div>
<br />
<strong>Use the local grocery store.</strong> While you want to enjoy Myrtle Beach's best restaurants, you don't need to eat out for every meal. If your resort has a kitchen, be sure to take advantage of the local grocery store (in fact, many of our vacationers get a kick out of visiting Piggly Wiggly). If you want to get even more into the local fare, visit the seafood market! Make your own breakfasts and lunches so you'll have a little extra to spend on dinner. <br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Be smart.</strong> Most restaurants have huge portion sizes that can be difficult to finish. Be sure to take home leftovers in a doggy-bag and eat the second half of your meal for lunch the next day. If you really want to save, consider sharing a meal. You'll still get full and enjoy the best local cuisine, but you'll pay half as much. Additionally, lunch prices tend to be significantly cheaper than dinner prices. Try going out for a big lunch and having a smaller dinner later or even eating at home.<br />

<br />
<strong>Hit two birds with one stone.</strong> Two of Myrtle Beach's most popular attractions include dinner <em>and</em> a show! By bundling the two together, you'll likely spend a little less than you would going to dinner followed by a show. You'll save even more by purchasing discounted tickets to Pirate's Voyage and Medieval Times at the <a href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=1800+U.S.+501,+Galivants+Ferry,+SC&hl=en&ll=34.015815,-79.218206&spn=0.025078,0.045447&sll=33.719746,-78.878808&sspn=0.201322,0.363579&oq=1&hnear=1800+U.S.+501,+Galivants+Ferry,+Horry,+South+Carolina+29544&t=m&z=15">Official Myrtle Beach Welcome Center</a>.<br />

We'll also be happy to provide you with any additional Myrtle Beach information or tickets that you might need. Happy saving!<br />

Several of the clubs along Ocean Drive in North Myrtle Beach support the craze, playing beach music and hosting special events. Come watch the experts show their skills and teach you how to shag, too!<br />

<i>Peanut Buttercup Cookies</i><br />
<br />
1 package Pillsbury peanut butter cookie dough frozen<br />
36 Reese's miniature peanut butter cups unwrapped<br />
<br />
Slice frozen dough into 9 sections. Quarter each section. Roll each quarter into a ball and drop into mini muffin pan. (If the muffin pan is not Teflon, lightly grease before placing dough into pan). Bake as the package instructs. Immediately after taking pan out of the oven, press a Reese's miniature peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie. Let cool slightly before trying to remove. For best results, take the edge of a very thin knife and slide around the edges. Let the chocolate re-harden and then stack in an airtight container. Store in cool area or freeze.<br />
<br />
Variations: If you have a favorite peanut butter cookie dough recipe, use that instead! You can also try using sugar cookie dough if you don't like peanut butter.<br />

<b>WonderWorks</b><br />

The laboratory was lifted in the vortex and blown all the way to Myrtle Beach where it landed, upside down, on top of a Crab Shack. Luckily, the other experiments in the lab were not damaged and are now available for us to experience. This indoor amusement park offers dozens of activities that thrill (and educate!) both young and old. Feel how cold the water was the night the Titanic sank, play in the bubble lab, experience the winds of a Category 1 hurricane, try to make a complete revolution on the Extreme 360<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">° Bike, lay on a bed of nails and ride the roller-coaster simulator! After you've wound your way through the 100+ exhibits WonderWorks has to offer, you'll finish off the fun with a 3 story indoor ropes course!</span><br />

<br />
Previously we discussed saving money while getting to your vacation destination (<a href="http://allthingsmyrtlebeach.blogspot.com/2012/08/tips-for-saving-money-on-vacation-part.html" target="_blank">airfare</a> and <a href="http://allthingsmyrtlebeach.blogspot.com/2012/09/tips-for-saving-money-on-vacation-part.html" target="_blank">driving</a>), so it's time to move on to the next topic: how to save money once you get here. Many attractions in tourist areas don't come cheap, yet experiencing the Myrtle Beach area to the fullest is a priority! Not to worry- we have several tips to help you with tickets to the best attractions in Myrtle Beach without breaking the bank.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcRiTPzgmWlhyphenhyphenS9XgWz1cZFRyYSaID-8aDN-u9tUhGD5XUvP_DwuewqvM07I4mLOlFdn5RfrbO3owpa9nn9f8LGIHvcHFwVzVQuudaau31xBs_M7tVBB2WaDzSXZ0-m9wcxqxSdPzMn9cF/s1600/Balance+Scale.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcRiTPzgmWlhyphenhyphenS9XgWz1cZFRyYSaID-8aDN-u9tUhGD5XUvP_DwuewqvM07I4mLOlFdn5RfrbO3owpa9nn9f8LGIHvcHFwVzVQuudaau31xBs_M7tVBB2WaDzSXZ0-m9wcxqxSdPzMn9cF/s200/Balance+Scale.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
1.) Be sure to do your research and comparison shop! For example, the Grand Strand has several different water parks within a few miles of each other. Visit their websites to see what each water park has to offer. Once you've narrowed it down, compare the discounted prices available. This can help you decide which park will give you the most bang for your buck.<br />
<br />
2.) Many attractions offer discounted rates for large groups. Bringing friends along on vacation with you could give all of you the opportunity to have your dream vacation and save you a lot of money. Of course, coordinating schedules with a larger group can be tricky. If that's the case, make some new friends! Take the time to chat with a few people at your resort and see if they plan on visiting some of the same attractions. If they are, you can buy your tickets together and everybody comes out a winner!<br />
<br />
3.) Be sure to take advantage of all the free activities in the area! The beach is our biggest attraction, and it doesn't cost anything to enjoy the sand and surf. Your resort's pool and other amenities will also provide hours of entertainment at no extra charge. Finally, look into some of the special local events that will be going on during your visit. Places like the Boardwalk and the Market Common have dozens of fun activities throughout the year for you to enjoy at little or no cost.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfPQh99PDw58AFJ_kAKkyejSdvJHORCT-HO3uVrrjpByxRsxsWr780KMvbwnTxNuymfR-Mc1kQ_Ys5yVKpqJRomA5Yg1TQWIWewWdCNkrXr_Eqtqc_HBr73w8DWP-DWwOx5Ek3jrvHwiV-/s1600/Special+Offer.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfPQh99PDw58AFJ_kAKkyejSdvJHORCT-HO3uVrrjpByxRsxsWr780KMvbwnTxNuymfR-Mc1kQ_Ys5yVKpqJRomA5Yg1TQWIWewWdCNkrXr_Eqtqc_HBr73w8DWP-DWwOx5Ek3jrvHwiV-/s200/Special+Offer.gif" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
4.) Before you buy your ticket, check around for current specials. Look for online discounts or for coupons in local magazines and newspapers. For example, Medieval Times has been known to offer a "Buy 1 Adult Ticket, Get 1 Child Ticket Free" special at certain times during the year.<br />
<br />
5.) Many attractions offer discounts for children, military, students, AAA members and seniors. When purchasing your ticket, be sure to ask if any of these discounts apply. Additionally, if you are on a credit card rewards program, check to see if any of your points are redeemable for attractions in the area. Remember to bring the proper I.D. or membership cards with you on vacation!<br />
<br />
6.) Sit down as a family to make your vacation "wish list" of things you would like to do. Once you have done this, set a budget to designate what you are comfortable spending. Then pick your favorite items from the wish list until your budget has been met. This way, you'll be able to participate in all of your favorite activities without overspending.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

While we're famous for our coastline, South Carolina offers so much more than just beautiful beaches! We have a dramatic history that spans through centuries and played a major role in America's biggest moments. When you visit the area, you have the opportunity to step back in time and experience what South Carolina was like hundreds of years ago. The state has dozens of Plantations that are open to the public for tour and many of them are within a 2 hour drive of Myrtle Beach! Here are a few of our favorites:<br />

While little remains of these plantations, a few relics have survived the passage of time including the Alston family cemetery. Governor Joseph Alston was the proprietor of The Oaks Plantation with his wife, Theodosia Burr Alston, daughter of Vice President Aaron Burr. Gov. Alston and his child are buried here with a memorial to Theodosia, who was lost at sea and reportedly haunts the Grand Strand looking for her father. While strolling along the trail, you'll also see the former sight of the plantation house, the slave village and the foundation of the spring house. One of the Laurel Hill rice mills also remains. The rest of the property was transformed by the Huntington's into America's first public sculpture garden during the early 1930s. Visitors enjoy beautiful moss-draped oaks in perfectly manicured gardens, elegant sculptures, a small zoo, butterfly house and even boat tours on the Waccamaw River.</div>

This prominent family played a large role in the history of the United States. James Lynch, Sr worked with Benjamin Franklin as an adviser to General Washington while his son, Thomas Lynch, Jr., was the 52nd signer of the Declaration of Independence. The house, decorated with 18th and 19th century style furnishings, sits on the Santee River surrounded by incredible low-country scenery and has been preserved rather than restored. Visitors can take a guided tour of the house, walk along the many nature trails, participate in a sweetgrass basket weaving class and experience an English style tea service with Southern influence at the River Oak Cottage.</div>

The property is named for its first proprietor, John Boone, one of the first settlers of the Colony. The entrance to the plantation will take your breath away as you drive down the famous Avenue of Oaks, which was planted from 1743 - 1843 and spans almost a mile. While the plantation's original house has been lost, the property boasts a Colonial Revival plantation house that was built in the 1930s. The grounds also feature 9 original slave cabins dating back to around 1800, a cotton gin house dating back to 1853 and a smoke house from 1750. Though no longer growing cotton, Boone Hall produces a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and offers U-Pick fields (in season) to their guests. Visitors can also take a tour of the Plantation House and Slave Quarters by guides in period clothing, coach tours, garden tours and enjoy the butterfly pavilion. </div>

The original Plantation House has been meticulously preserved to bring visitors a most accurate depiction of life in18th and 19th century America. The house has withstood the American Revolution, in which it was used as a staging ground for both Colonial and British troops, the Civil War, the great Charleston earthquake of 1886 and many hurricanes! Visitors take a guided tour of the Plantation house, learn about the Drayton family and their slaves (the Bowens), explore the grounds and visit the nation's oldest documented African-American cemetery that is still in use today.</div>

This beautiful property is famous as the oldest public gardens in America, having opened for tours in the 1870s. Areas of the garden date back 325 years and visitors enjoy gorgeous camellias, daffodils, azaleas and dozens of other species. The current plantation home is the third to grace the site since it was founded. The core of the structure dates back to the pre-revolutionary war and guided tours of the home, which feature Drayton family heirlooms and artifacts, depict what life was like hundreds of years ago. Guests can also tour slave quarters that date back to the 1850s, take a tram tour of the property, enjoy a boat tour along the Ashley River and visit the small zoo that features wildlife native to the area.</div>

<br />
One of the many delights of being on vacation is eating out instead of spending hours in the kitchen. For just this reason, Myrtle Beach has hundreds of amazing restaurants to keep your stomachs full and happy. But there's one restaurant that will get you fuller than any other while providing a dining atmosphere unlike any you've ever experienced: <a href="http://www.rioz.com/" target="_blank">Rioz Brazilian Steakhouse</a>!<br />
<br />
When you step into the restaurant, you'll find yourself in a beautiful dining area with rich, dark woods accentuated with a warm red and gold color scheme. The lights are kept on a low-lit setting, creating a homey and inviting atmosphere that's ideal for a romantic date or a big family gathering.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Once you're seated, your server will get your drink and direct you to <a href="http://www.rioz.com/menu/?section=48" target="_blank">the salad bar</a> - which is so much more than just salad! While you do have a wide array of your favorite lettuces and toppings to make your perfect salad, you'll also find many other delectable offerings including shrimp, fresh sushi, black beans and rice. And this is only the beginning...<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ1PWgac9MXxZ2QfZPbUbUBePW2v05_Xltkk3U0J3CawPMxnlZBrgGGj6JbZ53YpXwBQ6Z2K0owfFt8cIJX-3nBP6hjgXUxZULkhF-CoAhCuwD-t2yO7TIumnQmQ9pR9cOFuc81ObhVFQe/s1600/Skewer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ1PWgac9MXxZ2QfZPbUbUBePW2v05_Xltkk3U0J3CawPMxnlZBrgGGj6JbZ53YpXwBQ6Z2K0owfFt8cIJX-3nBP6hjgXUxZULkhF-CoAhCuwD-t2yO7TIumnQmQ9pR9cOFuc81ObhVFQe/s200/Skewer.jpg" width="200" /></a>Once you return to your table with your salad bar plate piled high, the real feast begins! Servers, called Gauchos, bring large skewers of meat to be cut right at your table. You'll feast on <a href="http://www.rioz.com/menu/?section=47" target="_blank">15 different meats</a> slow-cooked over hot coals including beef, chicken, pork and lamb. Each cut brings its own special flavors, whether it's seasoned with parmesan, sea salt, garlic or even wrapped in bacon! To be sure you're being served exactly what you want, you'll receive a coaster that has a red and a green side. When flipped to green, the Gauchos will provide you with a cut of their meat. When red, they will pass you by. As if all of this weren't enough, they will also continue to provide your table with their famous fresh grilled pineapple, cheese bread, fried bananas, polenta and mashed potatoes. (Note: Rioz also provides a salad bar only option.)<br />
<br />

Rioz has a wide variety of divine choices such as Brazilian flan, turtle cheesecake, creme brule, white & dark chocolate mousse cake, papaya cream and more.<br />
<br />
Finally, we can't forget about the offerings from the bar. Enjoy your favorite cocktail, imported beers or try a specialty Brazilian drink, including Brazil's national cocktail called Caipirinha or refreshing Brazilian Lemonade.<br />
<br />

<br />
With the prices of airfare climbing and the additions of extra fees, many people can't afford to fly their entire family to a vacation destination. So what's the alternative? A road trip! This is a great option for families who live within a day's drive of Myrtle Beach, but it also presents some cost concerns of its own. We have a few tips that can help get you on vacation and save a few dollars in the process!<br />
<br />
What's one of the biggest expenses with driving? Gas. While we can't do anything to change the prices, we can help you get a little more bang for your buck. Here's what to do:<br />
<br />
1.) Take it easy on your car! It's best to avoid accelerating and decelerating too quickly. If you keep some distance from the car ahead of you, you won't have to hit the brakes too often, thereby losing inertia. This may seem too insignificant to make a difference, but you'd be surprised; this simple trick can help increase fuel efficiency by 10% - 30%! If you have an iPhone or Android, the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gas-log-mpg-fuel-calculator/id318495275?mt=8" target="_blank">My MPG</a> app can help you know when you're wasting gas.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBEWA36n1tPUbO5s2kXvoYSmEoR51ZvYm1eDIzLT_lk3oVFwV7tJjZn0WNY2QzLfVnAHDcSrUy6vy1f9RHsL4S6syX22pCH1xgr-HKn3TGYv-DIUB-v_-X5ZYM8UaxgE26X3696k33Kn2F/s1600/55+mph.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="153" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBEWA36n1tPUbO5s2kXvoYSmEoR51ZvYm1eDIzLT_lk3oVFwV7tJjZn0WNY2QzLfVnAHDcSrUy6vy1f9RHsL4S6syX22pCH1xgr-HKn3TGYv-DIUB-v_-X5ZYM8UaxgE26X3696k33Kn2F/s200/55+mph.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
2.) While we're all eager to arrive at our vacation destination, remember that slow and steady wins the race. 55 mph is going to be your sweet spot. For every 5 mph you drive over 55, you lose an additional 10% fuel efficiency.<br />
<br />
3.) Be sure to use your GPS or map out your route before you hit the road. The shortest route won't necessarily be the most fuel efficient if you're going to hit stop-and-go traffic. And getting lost certainly won't save you any gas dollars, either. AAA has a great online <a href="http://ww1.aaa.com/scripts/WebObjects.dll/AAAOnline?association=AAA&club=252&page=ITTServices&userid=D6C957077B708059&memid=D6C957077B708059" target="_blank">Travel Planner</a> you'll want to take advantage of- it will even let you know how to avoid construction delays!<br />
<br />
4.) Lose that extra weight! The temptation to over-pack is strong, but try to resist. The heavier your car is, the more gas you're going to burn. And while we're on the subject of suitcases, try to use your trunk as opposed to the luggage rack. This will help reduce the drag on your car and increase fuel efficiency.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd8SFj6bh6Y6XCXTdoVLRyldTyceFNO6zmXg2LCL0Cd4k3K9ELTKKhHmGF6FncDOgkbKd_o2OD-gmm24DG8KvKnOok93qevkH59BD70dV6ghUhhFgLVvu7T02oQpTFbbC0iOWmXorySaIP/s1600/Filling+up+gas+tank.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd8SFj6bh6Y6XCXTdoVLRyldTyceFNO6zmXg2LCL0Cd4k3K9ELTKKhHmGF6FncDOgkbKd_o2OD-gmm24DG8KvKnOok93qevkH59BD70dV6ghUhhFgLVvu7T02oQpTFbbC0iOWmXorySaIP/s200/Filling+up+gas+tank.jpg" width="200" /></a>5.) When you see a gas station with low prices, go ahead and fill up, even if you're tank is still half full. On the other hand, if you're almost out of gas and surrounded by stations with high prices, fill up just enough to get you to a cheaper place. Many truck stop chains (i.e. Flying J, Travel Centers of America and Loves) tend to have lower prices. If you have a Sam's or Costco membership, be sure to take advantage of those gas discounts. And once again for you lucky iPhone and Android owners, there's an app to help you out here, too! The <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gasbuddy-find-cheap-gas-prices/id406719683?mt=8" target="_blank">GasBuddy</a> app directs you to the area's lowest prices by entering in the city or zipcode. <br />
<br />
6.) If you own more than one vehicle, drive the one that gets better gas mileage if possible. It may not have as much leg room, but your wallet will be a lot happier!<br />

With over 60 miles of uninterrupted coastline, the Grand Strand offers prime surf fishing. Cast your line and relax on the beach while waiting for the bluefish, croaker, whiting, skate or pompano to bite! The meticulously preserved coastline at Huntington Beach State Park also presents the opportunity to catch flounder, sea trout, red and black drum, mackerel and sheepshead. When surf fishing, the best success usually occurs from high to low tide. If you don't have your own, rent your gear from a pier or a local bait & tackle shop. Children under the age of 16 are not required to have a license when fishing in the surf. Most area beaches permit surf fishing but may temporarily ban it if there are too many swimmers.<br />

Among the most popular locations for saltwater fishing are the many piers that dot our shores. Fish are attracted to the marine species and organisms that make the pier their home, creating an ideal spot for a fisherman eager for action! The most common species to lurk these waters include whiting, sea trout, spot trout, king mackerel, spanish mackerel, flounder, drum, tarpon and mullet. Aside from the chance for a great catch, the piers also offer sweeping views of the coastline and quick access to bait & tackle shops, restaurants and bars. Recommended piers include: <a href="http://www.cherrygrovepier.com/" target="_blank">Cherry Grove</a>, <a href="http://secondavenuepier.com/" target="_blank">2nd Avenue</a>, <a href="http://www.springmaidbeach.com/amenities/springmaidpier/" target="_blank">Springmaid</a>, <a href="http://www.surfsidepier.com/" target="_blank">Surfside</a> and the <a href="http://www.pieratgardencity.com/" target="_blank">Pier at Garden City</a> (for additional information including pricing, follow the pier links).

</tbody></table>
The South's 140+ mile Waccamaw River winds serenely through the Grand Strand, bringing excellent freshwater fishing opportunities to the area. Catfish, perch, crappie, bass and bowfin are a few of the species found in the black waters. Fishing from the shore can be difficult due to wetlands, but look for a few spots off of Dick Pond Road by the Socastee swing bridge and by Elm Street in Conway. You'll have an even better fishing experience if you take to the water! Renting or bringing a boat, canoe or kayak will give you easy access to the best fishing spots. <a href="http://waccawachemarina.com/" target="_blank">Wacca Wache Marina</a> (located in the fishing village of Murrell's Inlet) and the <a href="http://www.conwayparksandrecreation.com/conwaymarina.html" target="_blank">Conway Marina</a> provide boat launch sites as well as rentals. <br />
<br /></div>

<div>
Keep in mind- if you're looking to catch dinner, we offer more than just fish. Head to the shore and harvest oysters, clams, crabs and shrimp to make a home-cooked seafood buffet!</div>

Now that you know the best places to go, it's time to gather your gear and make your way to the water.

The current state of the economy has greatly affected most families in the United States. With everyone's pocketbooks just a little tighter, what's the first thing to be cut from the budget? Vacations. Many families have to give up a much needed break, quality time together, a chance to experience the world around them and <a href="http://allthingsmyrtlebeach.blogspot.com/2012/07/why-its-time-to-give-your-brain-vacation.html" target="_blank">mental health benefits</a> in order to save money. But you can have your cake and eat it, too! Traveling doesn't have to break the bank. In fact, there are many ways to take a relaxing vacation without making your wallet run for cover. In a series of blog posts, we'll give you several tips on saving money while you vacation.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of the biggest expenses in vacationing is airfare. Over the last few years, the cost of plane tickets has been steadily rising as the economy has been declining. However, trying a few simple tricks can help bring these astronomical prices back to an affordable level.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfsup6z32VbFIEt9Y9e7uA9bcRqj0RSkxHPm-J4ggt1xI_f2SRDjbh7BbSuUc8Rb2dp0K9I5eKugVJ4-YR-4z9ohsTuDBt0wSKvwynEg19nbU9_NliY616UrYhqnT3fdpNqBQ0eKmqa-OB/s1600/Cheap+Sites.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfsup6z32VbFIEt9Y9e7uA9bcRqj0RSkxHPm-J4ggt1xI_f2SRDjbh7BbSuUc8Rb2dp0K9I5eKugVJ4-YR-4z9ohsTuDBt0wSKvwynEg19nbU9_NliY616UrYhqnT3fdpNqBQ0eKmqa-OB/s200/Cheap+Sites.jpeg" width="133" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1.) When you're booking a ticket, don't simply head to your favorite website and purchase. There are many companies that provide airfare at varying discounts - do your research and find the best price! A few companies you'll want to look into include Orbitz, Expdia, Cheap Tickets, Kayak, Priceline, CheapOair and Travelocity. There are dozens more companies out there, so be sure to do a Google search for "discount plane tickets" or "cheap flights."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2.) Begin looking for flights well in advance of your departure date. You want to give yourself plenty of time to look at and compare rates from the several different websites. Watch the price trends over a week or so - ticket prices tend to fluctuate from day to day. When the price drops to an amount you're comfortable with, book it!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7XWgDkI_zLUe5lVFmsDL3auPIGmuMUja1-UVlRCkJ4dJOdTrnMfZQV4L_DRQWk4gC1AHO7FbifsvmVKvV4ptDTir-brNHwayK3kayHxUhAnv0YQx7vPy1bQXdaQ-44HuEqchxnTomaNah/s1600/Layover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="141" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7XWgDkI_zLUe5lVFmsDL3auPIGmuMUja1-UVlRCkJ4dJOdTrnMfZQV4L_DRQWk4gC1AHO7FbifsvmVKvV4ptDTir-brNHwayK3kayHxUhAnv0YQx7vPy1bQXdaQ-44HuEqchxnTomaNah/s200/Layover.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div>
3.) Most people find that direct flights are less hassle than dealing with layovers, but you're definitely paying for the added convenience. Connecting flights typically run significantly cheaper, so if you're looking to save money, layovers are the way to go! And are they really so bad? They give you the chance to stretch your legs, grab a bite to eat and take advantage of the airport's Wi-Fi.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4.) Be flexible with your dates in order to find better deals. For most websites and airlines, the best time to buy and the best time to fly are Tuesday through Thursday since most people want to travel on a weekend. Additionally, you'll find cheaper tickets if you're willing to fly in the early morning or late at night. The money you save will be worth a day of red-eyes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizxn0iRqwxPrA4LNk4JQDQOvLsOCiaYysmkqw663nnfH4ZHTCwpjfm1S5PNQBxWASXWwdB10im1MsXojuk_1WVOwe-jcWTFDIvfGFgO6eRwCgHhBcdQmCI9WWeB9rirPkmzdUXu81BSQGV/s1600/Off+Season+Beach.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizxn0iRqwxPrA4LNk4JQDQOvLsOCiaYysmkqw663nnfH4ZHTCwpjfm1S5PNQBxWASXWwdB10im1MsXojuk_1WVOwe-jcWTFDIvfGFgO6eRwCgHhBcdQmCI9WWeB9rirPkmzdUXu81BSQGV/s200/Off+Season+Beach.jpg" width="137" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5.) Avoid vacationing during peak season and holidays. If you're trying to come to Myrtle Beach over the 4th of July, airfare will be at their highest rates. Off season months in Myrtle Beach (especially April, September and October!) have beautiful weather and the beaches are less crowded. Come see us then and save money!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
6.) Be sure to pack lightly. Most airlines charge a hefty fee per bag - and if your luggage exceeds the weight limit, expect to pay an extra fee. Limit each family member to one suitcase. If you really want to save, bring only carry-ons, which are free. Packing light can be a little tricky, so be sure read some great tips <a href="http://allthingsmyrtlebeach.blogspot.com/2012/07/tips-for-packing-efficiently.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
7.) If you're getting a rental car upon arrival, try looking at surrounding airports. Oftentimes, it's cheaper to fly into Florence, Columbia, Charleston or Charlotte than directly into Myrtle Beach. If the price is significantly lower, it just may be worth the added driving time. (Note: this tip also applies to the departure airport.)</div>

<div>
8.) Skip the plane tickets altogether and come by train! Traveling via Amtrak can be much cheaper than flying, especially if you live within a day's drive. Anyone under 16 years old is considered a child and receives great rates. This will be a unique experience that the kids love!</div>
