In my last post, I might have mentioned something about some sort of fantasy lust I might be harboring for Bon Jovi. It’s harmless and my husband has a similar daydream fabricated relationship with Halle Berry. It’s all good.
Fantasy, as you know, is imagination unrestricted by reality. It’s good to space out to la-la-land and there’s been proven research that it can make you a better real life problem solver. True, I swear. I read it in Glamour.
JW and I are both not only fantastic, we are fantastical. We both like to daydream about our celebrity crushes, how we would spend lottery winnings and trips and travel to beautiful places. I have to say we imagine these romantic and scenic getaways because every time I look online at dream destinations, I realize I’d have to win the lottery to go to some of them. It’s just not going to happen on his police officer salary when we have four teenagers to feed, clothe and educate. (I can’t believe I used to think diapers were expensive.)
I resigned myself to the fact that there would be no vacations for the hubby and I for many years to come. At least I didn’t think so until I stumbled across a website showing Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resorts in South Carolina. Intrigued by a picture of a gorgeous beach being kissed by cascading waves, I checked out the numerous Myrtle Beach Resorts featured throughout the site.
One, two and three bedroom condos with private balconies and designer furnishings! The resorts all seem to feature crystal clear pools, lazy rivers, hot tubs and spa treatments. Wow! I don’t golf, but maybe while the hubby is chasing birdies, I could go out on a sailing cruise and let the motion of the ocean lull me into tranquility! (I wonder how Bon Jovi would look in a sailor suit?)
Of course I’m fantasizing. There is no way I could afford to stay in a place as luxurious as any of these Beach Resorts Myrtle Beach. Take a look at the floor plan of one of these condos:
That is 1,116 square feet! That is almost the size of my house. Only it’s better than my house because I don’t have a jacuzzi, a balcony that overlooks the ocean, granite countertops or housekeeping people who would probably leave chocolate on my pillows if I asked them to do so!
Curiously, I clicked on the rates and was stunned. There were actually rates as low as $102 a night. $102.00 a night? WHAT?! I paid more than that once to stay in some dive motel in Central Illinois with a blinking vacancy sign and a broken ice machine just so I could watch my son compete at State in Track and Field.
The more I clicked, the more enamored with Myrtle Beach I became! Fabulous!
There’s also a sweepstakes available where you could win a 4 night stay in a two bedroom condo in one of the various resorts featured on the site. Please don’t enter, though, because I’d really like to win it.
I’m thinking I might surprise the hubby and book one of these condos. I could plan a romantic getaway and turn a little fantasy into a great big reality! Instead of harboring a crush on Bon Jovi, I could be at a harbor in Myrtle Beach, experiencing a real life fantasy!
You go, Rock Chick! Halle Berry has nothing on me except cleavage, but that’s another story.

Sometimes – this is totally true – people use the Internet to perpetrate untruths to separate you from your money.
The location is in hurricane country and you could get a moldy, wind-shredded ruin of whatever images you see online (this happened when I went to Miami for a national medical conference and we were staying in a huge, upscale hotel and conference center – the rooms on one whole side of the building, mine included, were dis.gus.ting – and closing your eyes didn’t help because the stink was inescapable).
