Charleston Get Together

[lumberslinger178]

spare , can you recommend a place to stay its going to be myself my wife and 17 yr old so with the girls its going to have to be a nice place, and being that its going to be my one and only real vacation for the yr I'd like to splurge a little say any where between 100.00 /200.00 per nite?
If there are any links to there websites that would be great.

[spareparts]

just about anyplace down town will be nice. I'll look around and see whats what. The hilton in Mt, Pleasant would be sweet. It has its own Marina in front of it http://www.charlestonharborresort.com/. This site may help you http://www.charleston.com/ find a better place to stay. If any one has a question about a plpace, let me know where and I'll ride by and take a look,

heres part of the post on the other thread
"As far a lodging goes, just about anything in MT. Pleasant is nice(and expensive). Downtown Charleston is great(even more expensive) James Island is decent, North Charleston is hit or miss depending where you're looking. If anyone is going to be towing with a camper or motor home, there are several nice campgrounds around here. Folly Beach is pretty cool, has a ramp nearby, you may be able to find a cottage for rent at an offseason rate. Isle of Palms is $$$$, only Willy could afford to stay there. Goose Creek(where I live) and Summerville both have nice places to stay, but they are probably a little further away than most would want(I live 15 miles from Charleston Harbor). Monks Corner is too far away unless you want to do the tailrace/Cooper River. Anyone find a hotel and want a drive by to see if its decent, let me know "

If any of ya'll are coming from far away and have never been to Charleston before, you might want to think about making it a week vacation, two or three days isn't going to be enough

Need a date and see what money is like as time comes near, but will have no boat and need a ride

[garagenc]

Sounds like Wind Talker is awful needy, maybe his ol buddy ol pal CB can haul his butt down here.

But don't hink you have to have a boat to enjoy Charleston, the downtown area is full of shops and stores(search for the Charleston City Market, and King Street Shopping). Ther is plenty of site seeing with bus, walking, and cairrage tours. The USS Yorktown is across the harbor in Mt. Pleasant. They run a water taxi(friends of mine) from Charleston Harbor Resort to the Marintine Center downtown, there are Ft. Sumter tour boats that cross the harbor. The also have diner cruises. They just approved Gambling boats in N Charleston, probably won't take them long to get them running. To all the history buffs and studies of The War of Northern Aggresion, there is more than enough places to see including the Charleston Battery, Ft. Sumter, Ft Multrie, and the Hunley. Beach aeras include IOP, Folly Beach. Sulivans Island. Plenty of places to wade fish, any one want to hire a guide, let me know, I work on several guides boats. One of my favorite places to see is the Angle Oak(http://www.angeloaktree.org/), its a little ride, but neat to see. If any of ya'l chase that little white ball, Charleston and the surounding areas are eat up with golf courses. The local sea food toursit trap is Shem Creek, in Mt Pleasant. Plenty of good places to eat all around. There are two places downtown that keep placing in the top 10 places to eat nation wide. More than enough stuff to do. Thats why I warned ya'll about not having enough time to do what you want, especially if you've never been here adn are driving a long way



heres one solution for some one with out a V http://charleston.craigslist.org/boa/2036966536.html

The War of Northern Aggresion

Dang yanks always starting something.

[spareparts]

I was waiting to see if anyone picked up on that

[RWilson2526]

I picked up on it...I just chose not to address it!

[peiserma]

...and those battle re-enactments are really practice, right ?

I'm tempted to join the Charleston fun, though my V is unlikely to be ready. Tasting authentic low-country boil is on my to-do list.

[randlemanboater]

Any idea on date yet SP?
