When putting together the ideal destination vacation — especially for the serious “plan ahead” types among us — there are a lot of factors to consider. Once you’ve determined the location you’ll be visiting, a long list of decisions regarding your travel, your accommodations, your activities, your meals and more must be made. And with so many different aspects of a vacation to consider, it can be easy to overlook something important.
So, to help future Grand Strand visitors get their plans in order, we’ve put together a convenient vacation-planning checklist.
