I've traveled the World, yet I've never seen any place like Charleston, SC. If you've watched "Gone With The Wind" (and who hasn't?), you will feel like you fell back in time to that era and THAT place.
The gentility of the South is never more apparent than in Charleston: cobblestone streets, sprawling Southern mansions adorned by magnolia trees and giant oaks beautifully festooned with Spanish moss.
The winters are mild, the summers are hot and humid and spring is simply enchanting in Charleston.
Horse drawn carriages peacefully co-exist on the roads here with the latest turbo charged vehicles, for no one is in a hurry in Charleston. Drivers give you the right of way and they do it with a smile. Everyone is touched by this easy going atmosphere, even the most stressed out "Yankees"...
What are you waiting for? The Spoleto festival is right around the corner. Come down soon ya'll!
For a great place to stay: my very own favorite hotel, The Charleston Place. For the most amazing, healthiest, tastiest, most nourishing food on the east coast and an easy, playful atmosphere, you absolutely MUST dine at FIG (it stands for "Food Is Good"). Make reservations well ahead of time, for they are booked weeks in advance. For the "In" place to eat, Oak Steakhouse is the finest dining experience in Charleston. All the famous folks dine here when they are in town, and Chef Brett McKee is the culinary master to the stars, flying to the west coast to cook for various top events.
Spirit Air has many specials for flights from New York to Myrtle Beach. Charleston is only an hour and a half away. You really have no excuses. Come visit now; thank me later!
