We come from
Illinois to Myrtle Beach each October and, always, travel 20/76/501 from
Columbia, SC (http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUrl?from=ShowTopic&url=%2FTourism-g54184-Columbia_South_Carolina-Vacations.html - broken link) to MB. In looking at the map, I see a route 378 from Columbia to
Conway which looks like a more direct route than the other. Has anybody traveled that route and how is it and is it shorter?
