    I was in Myrtle Beach last year it was absolutely class, total redneck place though. if ur goin make sure to stay in Rainbow Court id say its booked up by now but they always keep some extra appartments for when people get there or else advertise n c if anyone is looking for someone to share, its a bit of a dump but its totally mental. 8434483857 is the no.one thing advice watch the cleaners they rob everything.also rainbow c is a total ghetto area people get mugged, shot etc not wanting to put u off cos ul b grand as long as u dnt be walkin outside after dark at nite Jobs u will get no bother i worked in Johnny Rockets 1950s style restaurant war uv 2 dance really good fun but this summer was quiet with tourists so tips were bad if u didnt get good tables. ul get jobs in the mall, at Broadway at the beach(outdoor shopping complex) or along the boulevard in tacky shops, restaurants icecream parlours etc or at the water parks if ur desperate.just go round everywher when u get ther dnt worry about bringing a cv. Nite life really good all Irish go drinkin in rainbow court then 2 Kriptonite n Malibu clubs n the bars u21 no prob u get in everywhere underage u just get a stamp but they take photocopys of passports so we just changed ours n u get in everywhere id def reccomend myrtle beach ul av a mental summer. id love 2 go bk but goin to santa barbara this year. hope i was a help:D

    Hello. I'm going to MB this summer. is anyone looking for appartment to split?
    • CommentAuthor06107028

    Rainbow appartments vary from 5 people to about 8, if theres 5 ul b al sharin in if 8 ul get 2 bedrooms. if u wait til u go out though might be just the motel rooms left in rainbow court they r quite small. If u want a caddying job ud av 2 go 2 North Myrtle Beach cos golf is big there. very few Irish go ther its bout half hour drive 4om MB, so caddying wouldnt be the best choice id say. if u wana go away wen ur ther go 2 florida, its underneath South Carolina. u can fly but its not expensive 2 rent a car n do a road trip. Loads of people went to Orlando last year they said it was unreal, we went to the other side to miami and palm beach, miami especially is worth going to; south beach is really cool

    last year we had booked Rainbow before we went out. Some friends we made over there got one wen they went out though so u should be fine if ur out early. if you dnt get into Rainbow theres the Darlington and Emerald Shores. They're beside Rainbow Court and lots of Irish stay there but usually come over to Rainbow at night cos u make friends at work etc. I dunno whether to go to Orlando or Miami, cos dnt go 2 orlando depends if u really wanna go 2 disney really, u could prob go 2 both if u went on a road trip. most people fly into new york, boston or washington if going 2 Mb n then fly down, www.airtran.com and www.spiritair.com are cheap if u book early. think u cant fly washington if ur going on the J1 Classic though...

    is there wireless internet in Rainbow court??is it worthwhile bringin our laptops??
    • CommentAuthor06107028
    • CommentTimeApr 6th 2007
     
    No there isnt wireless in Rainbow n i would def say no dont bring anything as valuable as a laptop, cleaners will take anyyhing so mp3s, phones and money shouldnt be left around the appartment
