Got home on Thursday night from Charleston.
We went down to Hilton Head and stayed at a beautiful resort. We had a view of the ocean and swimming pool and lots of lagoons. The ocean was a bit too cool to swim in but the weather was perfect. 75 and sunny with a little breeze coming of the ocean. Hilton Head has lots of bike paths which were nice until I had a major upset (:
I relaxed and just enjoyed life. What could be better :)
Hilton Head will be on a list of places I will go back to

Michaud In my goodie bag... And the Goat Cried by Henry A. Buchanan Phew! Ok, well that's it for now, but let me just say what I great time I had. :-D
Wow! It's already been a week. Oh how time flew! It was such a great time, I can't wait to meet all of you again. Ok, let me start off with all the books I happened to swap...

Some additional Reverse Scavenger Hunt Photos
An additional picture to go along with Nou's Reverse Scavenger 2: Somewhere Representative of Charleston release. 
My "Somewhere Literary" release. If you look closely, or view the full-size, you can see the book Walden tucked into the tree. (Unfortunately I forgot to register that one. *blush*) 
Additional photos for me and Nou's "Somewhere Wet" release. Here Turtle is preparing to leave the books. 
My book is A Yellow Raft in Blue Water. Nou's post for her release can be found here 
a wider view... quite pretty. :) 
Before we even left the scene, this guy had grabbed our books. I caught a picture of him walking off with them. You can see the plastic bag in his left hand, and the back of my book A Yellow Raft in Blue Water 
Supplement to Nou's Somewhere Pink Release. As we were walking away, I turned around to snap a picture of a woman who'd sat down & picked up one of the books already. 
Pics for Nou's Somewhere near a flag release. This is closer up but didn't quite show the flags... 
...so instead I got a wide-angle view as well. 
My "Somewhere especially Charlestonian" release was done at the Historic Charleston Foundation Headquarters. 
A closer up of the book I left there. 
Supplemental picture to me and Nou's Somewhere by a Cannon releases. My release was Wild Fire by Nelson Demille on the left. 
My "Somewhere Cold" release was done Saturday night after our swap dinner at Sticky Fingers. I left On Thin Ice by Cherry Adair on this bench in front of Maggie Moo's Ice Cream Parlour.
A few photos from Saturday...
Here's a few more photos from Saturday which aren't particularly release-related (those to follow in a separate post).

Book Title: The Partner Author: John Grisham __________________________________________________________________________ Friday, April 27, 2007 There was a group of book people in the hotel while we were here for a visit. I somehow don't think they were librarians. I picked this up to read when I found it by the elevator. The book I brought was really crummy and Grisham is pretty reliable. I left it in the hotel when we left to go back to CAUGHT IN By AnonymousFinder from n/a, n/a n/a Book Rating: out of 10 __________________________________________________________________________ Tell your friends! http://www.bookcrossing.com/tellafriend

Extra discounts on the books we bought at Blue Bicycle Books
As I was adding the prices I paid for the 3 books I got from Blue Bicycle into my Book Collector software, I noticed that she made a mistake in my favor ringing them up.
Rather than just taking 10% off at the end, she took 10% off each subtotal. So first she rang in $3.50, hit the 10% off, which deducted 0.35, then she rang in another $3.50, and took another 10% off that subtotal (6.65) for another 0.67 off. (Subtotal now at 5.98.) Finally she rang in my last book, which was $5.98, and took yet another 10% off for $1.20. So the total before tax came to $10.76 when it should've actually been $11.68. w00t w00t!!
Live Swap books I got...
Okay, I've finally gotten myself organized enough to post the books I received in our Saturday night swaps. :D
· The Last of the Red-Hot Vampires by Katie MacAlister (offered by noumena)
· Carlisle Street by T. M. Wright (offered by SciFisstrs)
· In the Event of My Death by Carlene Thompson (offered by SciFisstrs)

Wheeeeeee!
I got a PM from bookczuk - apparently I won one of the raffle prizes!!! I guess the drawing was done at the Sunday breakfast (which I missed, being laid up that morning with that horrendous migraine) and they posted a list somewhere that I never saw...and I guess no one opted to tell me when I showed up later that morning.
I won the doggie basket, which is the one I put two of my three tickets in for. :)
Links are fixed
I went on to view my entry of the books that I listed. And found that the links didn't work. D'uh I didn't put a slash between journal and the number. Than after I fixed it I still couldn't get it going. D'uh again. I forgot to hit publish. LOL!
All fixed now :D
Bolts
One morning on the hotel TV, there was something about the buildings getting these big bolts installed to help hold them together.
And we saw one! (Along with my finger - oops!)
Cemetaries and more!
I was fascinated with the old cemetaries and probably could have spent all day there if Ap and Breeni hadn't pulled me away.
A really old stone that looked kinda cool.
Breeni and Ap taking it all in.
The circular church that we found to be quite interesting.
One of the oldest stones I could find. It's dated 1752.
Can't remember the year on this one, but thought with the broken stone and the light filtering down that it looked really cool.
Queen Street in downtown Charleston. I sent this pic to my gay boyfriend Jordan to let him know I was thinking about him. LOL
