Travel to Charleston, SC
I just came back from my first visit to Charleston. In addition to
the homes located in the historic district, I would recommend visiting one of the plantations on the outskirts of town (I did Middleton Place-- it was excellent.) You should also take one of the guided walking tours of the historic area (or do one on your own.) There is also a very good aquarium, the tour (via boat) to Fort Sumter National Monument, the USS Yorktown (in nearby Mt. Pleasant), several museums (Gibbes, Charleston Museum, etc.), and lots of restaurants. It's a fairly small city, and reasonably easy to get around. I was a few weeks late for the best of the azaleas, but there were still a few blooming. If you have a little extra time, I highly recommend Brookgreen Gardens in Murrell's Inlet (about an hour north of Charleston and a little south of Myrtle Beach.) Beautiful gardens and lovely sculptures. "Jan/Gigi" wrote in message ... OK fella travelers....last late summer I traveled to Savannah, GA...had never been there and thoroughly enjoyed it! Friends tell me I should go to Charleston if I enjoyed Savannah. My travel is largely to the Caribbean and I AM going to the Turks and Caicos in July, but want an interim getaway stateside in the early Spring... If any of you have been to Charleston, can you give me tips of where to stay, what the offerings are....etc etc etc. I live in DC and may take Amtrak, as I usually only fly when I absolutely have to! --multiplaza.nl.nu-- |

USA Continues to Abuse Innocent UK Tourists
"Dave Moorman" wrote in message
... Law enforcement people, let alone immigration officers, here in the States are definitely edgier and exerting their "authority" in a variety of ways. Abuse of innocent folks is way up. It's not only British citizens who should be complaining, but US citizens as well. 9/11 really messed us up in a few different ways. Let's hope the next group of "leaders" will have something positive to do about it. Dave Now that Michael Moore has won the Palme d'Or in Cannes (the first documentary to win in 50 years), do you think there is any chance he will find someone to distribute it in the USA?
