Unlikeliest of encounters, Myrtle Beach version

As it so happened, Huckleberry Hound got the idea of spending some time at one of the outlet malls down here in Myrtle Beach on an otherwise slow winter's weekend. With yours truly, even, trying to avoid unnecessary and frivolous shopping unlikely to have any practical implications when all is said and done.

Which, on a Saturday afternoon, came to include something of an unlikely surprise visitor to the same outlet mall, the sort unlikely to travel incognito for reasons obvious: As in The Banana Splits "themselves," whose last recorded presence was as guest performers at the now-closed Hard Rock Park theme park here on the Grand Strand. Not to mention walkabout types, as I understand it.

"Now I wonder myself how they'd get here anyway," Huckleberry mused while we rested near a block of tacky outlet stores--at least until the gorilla-orangutan hybrid, Bingo, pulled off a double take such as drove them to our presence.

And I have to admit, were we stunned, surprised even, to see no less than Bingo, Drooper, Fleegle and Snorky back together, notwithstanding that rather awful horror-film treatment they were in.

"So what brought you back to The Grand Strand?" asked I.

To which Fleegle was quick to remark, "Hardly anything in particular."

"Except, maybe," Drooper chimed in, "just a random trip with nowhere in particular in mind. Just to clear our minds of that rather tasteless film."

"'Tasteless' ain't the half of it!" was how Bingo responded.

Which, at any event, was bound to be enough to dispense with the outlet mall and instead go for someplace more obvious--the Gay Dolphin Gift Cove, close to the Boardwalk. And perhaps a Grand Strand institution right there of long standing. And to imagine the Splits posing alongside kitschy statues/props of Elvis and Bigfoot as much as the racks of tacky souvenir T-shirts having "walking billboard" potential made you wonder how the tourists would react to the sight, imagining return of The Banana Splits, even, after such an awful horror film so featuring!

"Just makes you wonder," Huckleberry responded as we repaired to a modest little Low Country seafood house in a back alley off Ocean Boulevard, the main drag of Myrtle Beach, for a "see food" buffet (as Drooper depicted it) tending to crab as much as Southern specialities galore. With a dessert bar featuring typically Southern staples like chess pie, pecan pie and warm peach cobbler--the original dump cake, you might say, having learned somewhere that to "cobble up" means to put together quickly.

But particularly surprising to us was where Snorky, as interpreted by Drooper, had a surprise waiting for us in store ... which, know, will be revealed next time around.

Customized Journeys: Whether you're interested in a culinary tour across the city's best eateries, a shopping spree, or a historical walkabout, a car rental allows you to tailor your itinerary exactly as you wish.

Choosing the Right Car Rental Service in Cochin

When selecting a car rental service in Cochin, consider the following to ensure a smooth experience:

Reputation: Look for well-reviewed rental services that are known for their reliability and customer satisfaction. Online reviews and ratings can be a helpful guide.

Vehicle Options: A good car rental service should offer a wide range of vehicles to suit different needs and preferences, from compact cars for solo travelers or couples to spacious SUVs for families or groups.

Rental Terms: Be clear on the rental terms, including the rental period, deposit requirements, mileage limitations, if any, and the process for extensions.

Pricing: Competitive pricing is important, but so is transparency. Ensure there are no hidden charges. Look for services that offer comprehensive packages including insurance, road assistance, and GPS navigation systems.

Customer Service: Choose a service that offers excellent customer support, providing assistance when needed, from the booking process through to the vehicle return.

Must-Visit Spots in Cochin with Your Rental Car

With your car rental sorted, here are some spots in Cochin you shouldn't miss:

Marine Drive: Take a leisurely drive along this picturesque promenade, perfect for a relaxed evening, enjoying the sea breeze and local snacks.

Lulu Mall: Experience modern Cochin with a visit to one of India's largest shopping malls, offering a range of shopping, dining, and entertainment options.

Tips for a Smooth Car Rental Experience in Cochin

Book in Advance: Especially during peak tourist seasons, booking your car rental in advance ensures you get the best rates and your preferred vehicle.

Check the Vehicle: Before taking possession, do a thorough check for any existing damages and ensure they are documented to avoid disputes later.

Familiarize Yourself with Local Driving Rules: Understanding local traffic laws and parking rules can help avoid fines and ensure a hassle-free driving experience.

More scenes from The National Mall: the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Monument , the National African American Museum of History and Culture, and the White House. 

The area around the White House was largely closed off during my walkabout because President Zelenskyy was there, which was pretty interesting!

CNN: United said it had this woman's missing bag. She tracked it to a residential address

CNN: United said it had this woman's missing bag. She tracked it to a residential address.

Most of us know the travel fear of a bag not appearing on the belt after a flight. Some of us -- ever more, thanks to the aviation chaos this year -- know the gut punch of it not appearing. But an increasing number of travelers know what it's like to lose a bag and get it back -- not because of airlines' diligence, but because they knew their bag's location thanks to a tracking device they'd packed with their clothes.

Valerie Szybala is the latest with a story to tell. The disinformation researcher from Washington D.C. received her lost luggage after nearly six days, during which she tracked it as it went on walkabouts to local malls and McDonald's while the airline told her that the bag was safely at its distribution center.
