Chances are you won't be planning
a trip to Charleston at 1:30 on a Sunday
morning.
Chances are, as an average USC
student, you probably were asleep,
passed out or trolling around Five
Points while freshman Ben Reyes,
along with three other USC students
and a visiting College of Charleston
student, headed to Charleston ? forgoing
all time restrictions.
"There was nothing better to do
that evening, and we decided to go to
Charleston," Reyes said. "It was a spurof-the-moment
event."
Taking the hour-and-some-odd
minute anve lor no particular purpose,
Reyes and crew had no {dans for
their evening jaunt. After realizing
that most of their hometown College
of Charleston friends from Summerville
were either asleep or busy when they
got there, the travelers were planless.
After not too many minutes of consideration,
Reyes and friends ended
up at Fanny's, a local 24-hour restaurant.
After a hybrid mixture of dinner
and breakfast, the group deposited its
friend at the College of Charleston and
headed back to Columbia.
"The trip was really fun," Reyes
said, "and I would do it again because
the people I went with made it fun."
Yet, all's well that starts well doesn't

always go well. For example, the car
Reyes and company were in almost
broke down somewhere on Interstate
26.
"That was scary ? waking up in
the back of the car with the girls checking
out the engine under the hood and
being in the middle of nowhere on I26,"
Reyes said.
Nowadays, roadtrips to everything
from football games to nowhere in particular
are popular with USC students,
which has prompted the creative minds
of The Gamecock staff to revamp Carolina
Roadtrip, one of last year's regular
features.
Initially written by Gamecock Editor
in Chief Lee Clontz, Roadtrip is
being brought back for weekly publication.
"Roadtrip was something I always
enjoyed because it gave students from
out of the area a look at what's around
in the Georgia, South Carolina, North
Carolina area," Clontz said.
With the backing of Clontz and other
staff members, Roadtrip not only
will feature sites around the Southeast,
but hopes to branch out into Westem,
Northern and Midwestern cities.
Included in the weekly Roadtrip
will be vital information such as where
to go, where to stay and, of course, how
to eret there. You couldn't eo far with
out the latter bit of information, now
could you? I

South Carolina Travel Guide
those who can't seem to get enough of the friendly
North and South rivalry of the 1860s commonly
known as THE CIVIL WAR, go to the Dixie Stampede
at the Junction of U.S. 17 and 17 Bypass.
Besides the beach, Myrtle Beach is well known
for its 80 championship golf courses designed by
such names as Nicklaus, Player, Dya, Fazio and
Palmer. According to the South Carolina Travel
Guide, 3.1 million games of golf were played on the
courses in 1993. The months of November through
February generally are when the green fees (and
hotel) are at the lowest.
