Travel
The province of KwaZulu-Natal borders Mozambique, Swaziland, and Lesotho. In April of 2010 my wife and I spent a week at the Breakers enjoying the beautiful beach, nearby casino and of course a little shopping in Durban. The Breakers at Umhlanga is a great place to stay will visiting the area.

I read about the white sands at Devka Beach, but what I saw was a much darker sand. Nothing white about any of it. Light brown to dark brown sand with a lot of rocks. When the tide is low you can walk quite a distance out toward the Arabian Sea. Not a typical resort beach, but there was a lot of activity there.
I took a few pictures on our 5 hour drive to Durban from Benoni, South Africa.
There were dozens of traffic cameras along the way, but no one seem to care much about them.
A panorama of the exciting landscape of Iowa. Look, it is actually pretty cool, but it goes on for a hundred miles.
I had scanned about 100 slides from a 1973 trip to the Badlands and notice that a few of the pictures actually formed panoramas. A few minutes later thanks to Photoshop CS5 I had a panorama of a view from the car window. Looking at the pictures I remember that this scenery went on for dozens of miles on end. The pictures brought back a lot of forgotten memories of the trip.
Captured the world and a life time of memories. Use your camera and photo document your life.
We just got back from our vacation in Myrtle Beach. The weather was perfect with almost every day in the low 80's. The above picture was taken from our balcony at the Sands Beach Club room 128.A great early morning view of the ocean and sun does something to recharge your batteries.
The Sands Beach Club is near Barefoot Landing, Tanger Outlets, Myrtle Beach Mall and the Alabama Theatre. We visited all 4 attractions/shopping venues and enjoyed just getting away from home for a week.
The Alabama Theatre show "One" was very enjoyable with great talent entertaining you for the evening.
We had a late dinner at the Conch Cafe situated on the beach. What a great view and meal. It was a bit breezy that evening but not enough to keep us from enjoying the deck and the view. We also had lunch on Friday at Bombay At The Beach. Pretty good Indian food buffet, check it out if you want to try something different or enjoy Indian food.
It was shag dance week at Myrtle and we met a few people from North Carolina who came down to get together, dance and party. A great time was had by all!
The northern part of Myrtle Beach is quiet and more residential than commercial. We like it that way. Plus there was a big sale at Stein Mart.
