I rarely eat red meat; I figure this covers the entire year. And we calculated the per diem -- which is also why I don't pay for breakfasts or lunches, but make do with what we brought from home.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-74251827979972254022008-08-20T09:47:00.000-06:002008-08-20T09:47:00.000-06:00Terry,I don't eat beef or pork if I can help it. M...Terry,<BR/><BR/>I don't eat beef or pork if I can help it. My wife is an ovo lacto vegetarian. I also eat fish and poultry. When I was in Charleston I was trying to live on my per diem. By fixing my own meals I had enough money left over that I didn't have to use any of my own money unless I really wanted to splurge.<BR/><BR/>I loved that shopping center in Mount Pleasant. We have a new shopping center built in a similar pattern next to the Virginia Beach Farmers Market. Next to the Farmers Market there have been a number of boutiques for several years. The new center fits right in. I don't know if Mount Pleasant was the first, but it sure made for a nice neighborhood. <BR/><BR/>The First Atlanta Bread Company restaurant and bakery I ever went to was in Mount Pleasant. Now we have one in Virginia Beach that I go to often for their wonderful pumpernickel and for their avocado sandwiches for my wife.<BR/><BR/>RayRayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308737766288257680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-59622871560803421792008-08-20T08:47:00.000-06:002008-08-20T08:47:00.000-06:00So, Ray, did you eat at Sticky Fingers while you w...So, Ray, did you eat at Sticky Fingers while you were in Mt. Pleasant. Really good ribs. We ate there last night. It's a 'must do' when we're in this part of the country.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-61448368278348802742008-08-19T23:51:00.000-06:002008-08-19T23:51:00.000-06:00There are some beautiful views in Charleston.

I had a full kitchen, office desk, a sitting area with a couch, love seat, recliner, easy chair, bedroom with dressing room and separate bathroom. I was right next to a shopping center with everything I could ever need. I was on a two week job at the Naval Weapons Station. I even had a Buick rental car with only 700 miles on it when I picked it up.<BR/><BR/>I guess we got the good room by group rate. There were probably about fifty of us at two hotels side by side.<BR/><BR/>Hope you have a great time while your husband is working.<BR/><BR/><BR/>RayRayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308737766288257680noreply@blogger.com
