Also- if you're planning on going to Charleston, hit Savannah as well. It's like a teeny-tiny New Orleans. River cities have a certain vibe about them, and Savannah has it in spades. Savannah is much looser than Charleston, better preserved, and much friendlier. Charleston is great, but it's like going to Disney World. Everything is fake, there are long lines for absolutely everything (unless you go in January), and everything is
exorbitantly priced. Savannah is just about an hour and a half down the road from Charleston, and is far friendlier, cheaper, and less busy. It's small, so don't plan an entire vacation there, but I wouldn't plan a trip to Charleston without hitting Savannah as well.
