What a crazy drive down yesterday! Traffic on I-26 and on I-95 was almost bumper-to-bumper and around 45 mph. Unbelievable! After about an hour of that I sidestepped it by going over to SC 21 and headed south through Branchville, Stokes, Smoaks, Yemasee, to Beaufort (almost) then over the water to Hilton Head main road 278 for about 30 minutes of stop-and-start traffic before arriving at the Shipyard timeshare. Each year I promise myself that the next summer I'll wait and come down on Sunday and avoid some of the high traffic when everyone is coming to their timeshares on Saturday. But, I never have. It's part of the vacation scene!… out to a lovely dinner at The Vine as guest of Jim and Anne for a most elegant meal! ……Then, discovered I'd lost the key to my condo which led to about an hour of looking everywhere we could think of between the restaurant and my condo with no luck. After a couple of unanswered emergency number calls without answers - I went home with Jim and Anne and their guest room for the night. Now, in the condo and resting all day doing nothing but getting groceries and napping. Jim got hold of the manager this morning who sent someone over to unlock the door for me. ….In spite of the difficult beginning - it is great to be here, now with the place all to myself until Wednesday when Tate's family arrives and the fun begins!
