March Madness Brings Hoops Happiness

If you read vayK's blog, and I hope you do, you know it's time to fill out your March Madness brackets and "Be True to Your School." My alma mater, the University of Kentucky, is making its 50th NCAA Tournament appearance. I plan on bringing an ample supply of blue face paint to The Hammocks at Marathon and making an appearance at Barnacle Barney's Tiki Bar & Grill for opening tip-off on March 18.

When it comes to vacation getaways and relaxing places to enjoy a little basketball, Bluegreen is at the top of its class. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to cue up "We Are the Champions" on my iPod and watch the other teams get schooled ...

Goo Goo Dolls Set to Dizzy Up Charleston

After the show, I'm beginning my vacation. With Bluegreen, I have the freedom and flexibility to go anywhere — and the choice to do whatever I want. I'm choosing accommodations in an 18th Century warehouse in the heart of downtown Charleston.
