Myrtle Beach Offers Cure for Cabin Fever
Paced by a stronger Canadian dollar, more and more snowbirds from the Great White North are expected to make their way to the Grand Strand this winter. But they're not the only ones discovering the benefits of vacationing here during the off-season.
Between a beach without snowdrifts (no sweaters today - 72 degrees!), countless restaurants, an ample nightlife and some of the best golf deals of the year, there's no shortage of activity for the growing number of cabin-fevered travelers finding their way to Myrtle Beach between now and the start of the spring season. To help fill out the itinerary, TripAdvisor.com has released its "Myrtle Beach Fall & Winter Guide 2006/2007."
This guide includes reviews of area attractions by TripAdvisor members and travelers from throughout North America, representing as many as 15 states and Ontario, Canada. TripAdvisor.com is the largest travel community in the world, with 20 million monthly visitors and featuring more than 5 million reviews and opinions of 230,000 hotels and attractions.
For the Myrtle Beach guide, reviewers lent insights on their top choices for the Grand Strand's best views, means of getting around and special events. The most popular categories - "Where to Play," "Where to Eat" and "Where to Stay" - are even broken down into multiple sections, with family, romance and budget options offered for each. They also include top 10 lists for reviewers' choices of the best overall attractions and restaurants.
This tool is a nice complement to "Best of the Beach 2006," and visitors will appreciate the fact that the TripAdvisor guide is especially tailored for the interests of the off-season crowd.

So my American dollar won’t go as far in Windsor anymore. That’s OK, so long as more Canadians are coming down here to spend some bucks.
