My new car is coming in this week, and the wife and I are planning a spring break road trip for the last week of March.

We're doing it pretty spontaneously, not booking any hotels in advance, to leave it open to change our minds on cities, but the tentative itinerary is:

NYC --> Baltimore --> DC --> Raleigh --> Myrtle Beach --> Savannah --> Atlanta --> Charlotte --> DC --> NYC

Any suggestions on things to do/see?

TOKPR, i know.

But hell, what do I know?

i can look at the schedule to see if its ope if you'd like.

If you're looking for some South Carolina beach action, hit up Kiawah Island for a day or two. Gorgeous scenic area-- it's where many of those Nicholas Sparks movies are set. Way less crowded, way fewer frat guys. Water is perfect, packed to the brim with sand dollars. Delicious sea food everywhere.

If you're looking to party, go to Myrtle. If you're looking for a nice beach trip for a vacation, skip Myrtle and head straight down to Kiawah.

I hated that place even as a place to party for a night on the southern road trip I took years back.

The entire main drag seemed like Wings stores, shitty strip clubs & airplane-bottle drinks at cheesy bars.

Myrtle Beach isn't even a "party destination" once you're uh, 22.

--------

We were ahead of schedule & coulda done two nights there before moving onto Savannah & instead left after less than a full 24 hours.

There's a particular crowd it attracts, obviously, and that crowd will like it if they know what to expect. It's just not my flavor, at all.

So if you're going down to Savannah, you're already going to be passing right by. It's just a hair southeast of Charleston (which I also enjoy-- comparable to Savannah, IMO).

then go along the coast on 17 from wilmington through Myrtle to Charleston/Kiawah and on to Savannah.

that's the good thing about not making definite plans, we can decide once we're in the car.

Especially in South Carolina. It's either a shorter journey on boring-ass 95, or a far more interesting and scenic one. In the south of the state in particular, lots of bridges, charming towns, diners, etc.

also a lot easier to find a random spot to just stop at. Our spot is in Pawley's Island and Ocean Isle right before the NC/SC border is another one i really like. I can't stand just driving on 95. I have taken the extra time to go on 17 (i think thats what it is) many a times.

Make savannah a priority. Less spring breaky than myrtle. You can spend 2-3 nights there. I'd skip atl too and do New Orleans.

Atl is a big city you can't get it in 1-2 days. MO is big but you can hang out in 1-2 areas and see and do everything.

fun, feels like you can do it in a day or two. the hotel that doubles as an art museum is a trip and cool and the bourbon trail is really interesting. buffalo trace does some really interesting one-offs that are available there and the food in louisville was surprisingly good. dope little city.

we'd like to do a separate vacation to NO another time. From Savannah, it's like 3 hours to ATL, then 3 more to charlotte, then 6 to DC which makes it a nice easy loop back. If we go to NO, it sets us up for a few long ass drives with no destination. it's like 9 hours from NO to ATL.

AKA the two overpriced places that Orbit has never
wasted a penny

We'll discuss the former later...I recognize that's
a controversial opinion, because a lot of y'all have
burned rent and diaper money in the strip club

Orbit has enjoyed every minute

But to Massages:

Just had a massage so good yesterday, I was literally
hallucinating

Bitch squeezed the Orbit_Calves and I saw a unicorn sprint
across the room

Second time that happened

Happened when I was in SE Asia too when this lady was
walking on my back

O and can we discuss homophobia?

I DEMAND a female massage therapist

Its gotta be homophobia since the experience
isn't really sexual...which is why I don't care
whether the woman is attractive or not, only that
she's a woman

How can I be helped?

real as in a professional masseuse did it, not no girlfriend or the wife. Me and the missus did a couple's massage and it took everything in me not to moan like a little girl because that shit felt RIGHT. First time I ever had someone massage these big ass size 15s, almost made that masseuse my concubine and brought her home with me that day.....


You gon' live forever
Whether you want to or not
Some of us gon' end up holy
Some of us gon' end up hot.....

Was going to a concert that night and my feet were sore and torn up because I was playing bball and soccer for a total of at least 5 times a week...yelp'd this spot in SOMA that was walking distance from my brother and sister-in law's place....and cotdamn. Started with a girl who was actually using the stones to really get into my feet and then ended with this little Ocean's 12 and 13 type asian dude who like sat propped my feet up and sat on them. Incredible, so effective and worthwhile...gonna have to make it a regular thing as I'm finally ramping my sports back up as my foot continues to gain strength/I gain confidence in it.

And even then, if you take one of the nicer airlines like Singapore Air or China Southern, they'll treat you like a king. Thailand's probably the most tourist friendly spot, I'd start there.

i lived in KL and Singapore for 6 months in 2010. loved both places immensely.

Singapore is so surreal. literally every whip is either an Audi R8 or Lambo. a shitty car is a CL500. im slightly exaggerating but you wont see cars like this anywhere else in such abundance.

Singapore air is great. the flights seemed real short when they are offering so many things.

He's retired and lucked out on the good government pension plan, so he spends half the year in the US and half in the PI. My mom goes over once a year, I usually visit every other year (three times or so so far), I like the Philippines but it's nowhere near as developed as Thailand or Singapore (except for a few parts around Manila and some touristy parts like Boracay). I actually wanted to swing a trip later this year with the Philippines and another part of Asia like Thailand or Japan later this year but we'll see how it works out.

They do love their basketball there though, might be one of the few places in the world more NBA obsessed than OKSports. And it's one of the few places where I (at all of 5-8 or so) have to play power forward for a pickup game. I usually make it a point to pack some basketball shoes when I go and get in a few games while I'm there, though they look at me crazy when I fly into the lane or chase someone down on defense like I would at any blacktop over here. Pickup game culture is COMPLETELY different from pickup games here.

which helped tamper down my expectations and corresponding need to give my money away. my major expenditures in them have always been for the benefit of others. some cats treat it like a religion, which is fine, but never been that way for me.

It's always for a bachelor party or someone's bday.. Last year I was hanging out w/ my brother & homie from college for his bday. We went to the strip club & my brother bought me a dance. The poor girl was so disappointed that my face didn't exactly light up. She was cute but that kinda shit don't do much for me. I hope I didn't ruin her mojo. She looked hurt.. lol

Which is how I have such success

People tend to forget that you still have to
be a gentleman and be nice...that has to be it.

I talk to them like they are human. They treat me like
I'm Jay-Z. Its weird.

Don't think I've left a strip club without a couple phone
numbers in quite some time.

And yeah, its more about ambiance and chilling, less about
touching females

To be honest, when I'm in NYC and I'm chilling having
a meal with some fellas, I'd rather give my money to
a strip club than pay one of these other clubs hundreds of
dollars per person just because we're black men...its
basically par for the course that you gotta have broads with
you if you're black. I've literally seen clubs charge me and
my peoples three times as much as a group of yuppy white
dudes ahead of his

Now I be like "fuck it, nigga let's go to the titty bar."


My money goes to better use imo

And we actually pay LESS money doing that

Bottles are less obscenely expensive and you can
actually meet REGULAR women in a strip club

that's something to experience.

I'd rather go to Wilmington or Ashville or even Boone rather than Raleigh or Charleston over any other place in SC but you might have reason for hitting those spots.

Can't tell you much about ATL but I know it ain't fucking with New Orleans, it would add some driving hours but in for a penny in for a pound at that point.

not really a reason for any of the cities on the list, other than their proximity to each other (other than baltimore, where we'll be seeing her family)

7 days left, hard to believe I made it this far.

60 days ago, my cardio was crap and I was in terrible terrible shape ( I still am really, but much better shape than I was.) The first week I had to do pushups from my knees and now can tear through them.

Only have dropped at 15 lbs, but I also have built a lot of toned muscle, especially in my arms chest and shoulders. I had to poke an extra hole in my belt and clothes that didn't fit me do now so even though the weight loss isn't huge I can tell the results are big.

It is as hard as they make you think it is, but it's pretty fun once you are into it. I'd do a 2nd round but my knees are totally shot from all the jumping which seems common so I might move onto something like P90X after this.

This is the most effort I've made towards a healthy lifestyle in years though, so it's a great 60 day start that makes me confident I will keep it up now that I've gone through what is probably the most difficult part of starting and continuing.

i was so sore after the two days, i needed a day off. that day off turned into 6 months. I'm woefully out of shape, and part of me thinks I should start smaller, but I know that that hasn't worked out for me either.

One morning I stepped on the scale which I always avoid because I don't want to know.

Saw I was close to hitting 250 pounds (I'm only 5'8) and that was it for me, was just a come to jesus moment.

I got a lot of support on the insanity subreddit which helped me stay motivated, and you just have to be willing to suck at it. The people who do the tape have to stop and collapse during it, which means that even if I do it 3 times I'll probably still have to collapse and take breaks.

My first time through was all about just do what I can do, if an exercise is 30 seconds and I can only do 10 before a break then I did 10 and hopefully next week can do more.

They give you a fit test every 2 weeks which helps you stay motivated because even if you don't feel the change coming in your cardio conditioning you get to the fit test and see your numbers jump from last time.

I was 210 in 2011 and went on Nutrisystem, and dropped 35 pounds in 3 months, but that was because I was eating 1,200 calories a day. Soon as I went back to relatively normal, it came back.

it's the being willing to suck at it that was hard for me. i hate sucking at things.

f'real though, this is motivational. I think I'm gonna give it another try.

I was there for about a week for a work conference, it was a good time. An OKP (forgot who) recommended me The Rail pub on Congress St there and it was a great time, lot of locals hanging down there. I met me a couple nice Southern girls there (though I know you're married), plus it's next to a bunch of other bars locals hang at... Congress St Social Club next door is pretty cool, Seed Eco Lounge around the corner is hilariously Vegas-y (if that's your thing), Roof Top Tavern around the corner from there is a good place to catch a game (judging by me trying to catch the Memphis-Clippers series last year). The River St bars aren't as good, though I did get a good rendition of R Kelly's "Bump-N-Grind" on at Wet Willie's there, much to the surprise of a bunch of SEC backer looking dudes and their girls(I'm a skinny island Asian from LA, but I sing in a band or two). Don't go to Paula Deen's restaurant, it sucks, go on a ghost tour if you can, and if you golf, you're in for a good time.

Can. NOT. Wait. doesnt even do my feelings justice.
