About your trip

Enjoy an early lunch in Pawley's Island, South Carolina along with a "fashion walk" offered by Affordable Apparels.  Models will stroll past our tables wearing an incredible selection of handpicked apparel and accessories from Affordable Apparels.  Since it’s opening in 2012,  Affordables, as it is more commonly called, has prided itself in offering “Real Women, Real Style” at affordable prices.  Following lunch, we will have the opportunity to shop at Affordables as well as 20 additional shops found in the Hammock Shops Village.   A real treat is a stop at Conway Glass on the way home.  Conway Glass is a destination blown and stained glass studio that also houses a fiber studio and dye studio in the historic Mayfair neighborhood of Conway.  Our visit includes a glass blowing demonstration and opportunity to learn about the many art classes offered before returning to St. James.

About your organizer

Patty
I love to travel so in my partially retired life I decided to adapt my passion for travel along with 25 years of experience in Travel & Tourism to create Trips by Patty. I received a BA in American History from UNC-Chapel Hill. Not knowing what I was going to do with that degree, I started working as a desk clerk at a hotel in Raleigh. I enjoyed the hotel business and the career path began. Hotel operations and sales, Convention Center operations and marketing, destination marketing with a Convention Visitors Bureau and even a stint as a tour guide. What happened to the history degree? Well, many times when I am escorting my trips I share the history of the destinations we visit. It's a great feeling to take your career skills and adapt them to your own small business. I love what I do and hope you'll join me on a trip one day!
