Some years ago, when I was single, a friend and I took a trip that would end up in South Carolina where some friends of mine of many years were living. The family had actually been friends since about 1975 when I met them through a ministry I had gone to. It had been about 14 years since I had seen them because they moved to South Carolina when I still lived in Florida.

My friend and I decided to visit a couple of friends of hers in Tennessee first. We went near Nashville. I was pretty disappointed that I could not stop and see the Grand Ole Opry but we thought that the visit to the friends more important this time. After the stop there, we moved on into South Carolina. It was such a blessing to see them again. It has been so many years!

While we were there, we did some tourist stuff, of course. One of those little side trips was to Hilton Head Island. How beautiful that is!! Awesome. And you know, if I had not had a place to live in Missouri, at the time, I would very likely have wanted to seek out Hilton Head rentals to find a place to stay right there!! I could just see me living right on that little island, enjoying the wind and surf all day long!!

However, we did have to go back home in due time. I can tell you that I did not want to leave there. I missed my friends a lot and the scenery was beautiful. But we did head back. Remember my disappointment about the Grand Ole Opry? Yep, we stopped in Nashville, looked at the old Opry building, Ryman Auditorium and then traveled out to the new one. It happens to be at the Opryland theme park now. We stayed all day, got incredibly wet on a really fun ride and left for home the next day. I had a really great time.
