Wandering the historic district still charms me after all these years. That said, it's nice to hear what people who live in a place say they really enjoy. <br /><br />I once spent a week alone in Amsterdam with no preparation at all. Landed late at night without a hotel or any plans. It was one of the best holidays of constant discovery.Charlestonjoanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590582268028752174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-74194115863248019352010-05-24T00:51:43.967-04:002010-05-24T00:51:43.967-04:00Joan, do you know what I would tell her?

I firmly believe in flying by the seat of my pants... every trip is my own, my own experience, and I never go where anyone else tells me to. If I find a gem, it's by providence. If I find something not so great, it makes a great story for later. <br /><br />I don't know if it's overconfidence or stubbornness, but I prefer to let travel be a real adventure. Take the good with the bad.<br /><br />When my husband and I went on our honeymoon, I measured the miles between our house in NY and the wedding site (my mom's house in NC), then split it in half. Then I looked for a spot in that halfway region. Had never been there before - just "winged it" - and we had a fantastic honeymoon! It was a romantic plantation estate in Virginia, and we had the entire place to ourselves, excepting the owners and the chef (thank the gods!).<br /><br />Live on the edge, girls - it's fun!Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-52003280085667044312010-05-23T19:23:45.011-04:002010-05-23T19:23:45.011-04:00Hallie - It's been years since I've been t...Hallie - It's been years since I've been to Fast & French and never thought of them for brekkie.

Also, a sunset cruise on the Schooner Pride is lovely - get there early to make sure you get a good seat! The Gateway Walk is a great way to see Charleston's gorgeous churches. I took the walk recently on a Saturday around 10:30am and a couple of the churches were open for visitors. Stay at a B&B like The Battery Carriage House Inn - you always get that extra little pampering unlike large hotels! Late night dessert at Kaminsky's is a must! Stroll around the farmers market on a Saturday morning. Charleston has wonderful theater. See the Have Nots! improv on Wednesday, Friday or Saturday at Theater 99 - always a good time! Gosh! I could go on and on!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07629728253457090895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-20653693461098723892010-05-23T18:11:24.957-04:002010-05-23T18:11:24.957-04:00Breakfast at Fast & French!Breakfast at Fast & French!Halliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116565762128611108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30462606.post-65039067201340430072010-05-23T10:45:41.870-04:002010-05-23T10:45:41.870-04:00Thanks John!
