Charleston

Greetings from Charleston, SC!  We have been having a great time since arriving here on Friday.  After all the back and forth about whether we should come here with the potential hurricane problems, it turns out that we could not have made a better choice.  The weather here has been AMAZING for the past few days.  There’s been a nice breeze, highs in the mid 70s to low 80s, and hardly any humidity.  In other words, the opposite of what the weather is usually like here.  Everyone we run in to is commenting on how nice and unusual the weather is.  Good times.

We’re staying at the Holiday Inn Historic District.  Alright, I know what you’re thinking.  Out of all the historic inns and neat boutique places you could stay in Charleston, why the Holiday Inn?  That’s what we said too.  We actually stayed here based upon some strong recommendations from people on TripAdvisor.com, which is a pretty cool travel site.  Most people recommended this place because of the concierge here, a guy named Kevin McQuade.  This guy is unreal.  He knows this place like the back of his hand and everything he has recommended to do or eat has been nothing short of fabulous.

Tonight is technically supposed to be our last night here.  The original plan was to leave tomorrow and go home so we could relax the rest of the week with nothing in particular to do.  Since the weather is so great, we’re thinking about trucking up to Myrtle Beach tomorrow and spending Thursday and Friday soaking up some sun.  As I write this, we’re still up in the air about what we’re going to do.

I’ll post more later with some pictures and detail about what we’ve been up to.
