[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 599117, member: 13542"] Thanks! Witz, we noticed that same thing all through N.C., S.C. and Georgia, as we drove, mostly on 17, there would be a beautiful home and literally next door, a run down, dilapidated, trailer which may have been abandoned. I'd not seen that before, you don't see that in CA. or in Connecticut or N.Y. So, yes, we did notice that. We loved the green, lushness of it. We mostly ate seafood. I don't really like fried food and I'm a pretty healthy cook, mostly protein and veggies, fruits and smoothies, so that would likely stay the same. we drove through Myrtle Beach and had lunch in Georgetown, SC. where I had a long conversation with a woman in a dress shop all about the area. She gave me an enormous amount of local information. She was so friendly, I loved that little town! For the most part, people were really friendly. We stayed in the Beaufort Inn and drove all through the Outer Banks, which was a nice ride, especially the ferries over. We went to Kitty Hawk and The lost colony site on Roanoke Island. My mother and brother live in Asheville, which we enjoyed a lot too. What about hurricanes? Prices? We noticed gas was about $.50-1.00 a gallon cheaper then No. Ca. Witz, how about the price of groceries compared to this coast? How about housing? Utilities? [/QUOTE]
