Fri Dec 6th-Wed Dec 11/2013 S. Carolina to NOTL


Last trip to Benny's :-(
Benny's shrimp are like Lobster! YUM!
Janice's Xmas Present - Adam's Clubs!! -YEY!!
Festive in the warmth!
Our last couple of days in South Carolina were spent packing. We also went for a last time to Benny's seafood for some fresh seafood. We also did some more research on golf clubs for Janice and decided that the set we saw this week at Edwin Watts Golf store was perfect in both style and colour BUT they had sold that set and couldn’t get any more in. Derek scoured the internet and finally found a set….. but it was at a dealer in Florida.. but with determination to get Janice to perfect Xmas gift, Derek managed to arrange to get it flown in and delivered to our campsite overnight… so it arrived the afternoon of the day before we left, together with a small propane ‘campfire’ we bought online from Camping World… so we were both very happy.

We packed up the truck on the night of Dec 9th and left early morning on the 10th. We towed the rig to Columbia South Carolina and left it at a great storage facility (Monster Storage) and then continued north toward home in the truck. We had planned on stopping half way, but were
Ready to go!!! Getting excited
Parked at Monster storage - "Bye Condo"
See ya in a month (so we thought!!!)
just too excited and we kept driving through to Canada. We finally crossed the border around 2am after a short battle with some snow in Pennsylvania. We took a room at the Hilton Gardens by the highway and collapsed into bed exhausted.


The next day we drove to Niagara on the Lake and met Eric from Niagara Holiday rentals at the Artists Cottage on Gage Street that we had booked for the month. We were thrilled with the place. Eric and his wife Janet who manage many rental cottages in NOTL (Niagara on the Lake) were wonderful throughout our stay, dealing with issues as they arose (which were few) with lightening speed. We came to love the cottage and felt it was a perfect place to spend Christmas. There was even a decorated and lit tree sitting on the corner and a few other Christmas items for us to enjoy.
