Historic Homes of Charleston

April 11, 2016 by Patti No Comments
Charleston

One painstakingly restored to its former glory and one preserved for those to see behind the facade so-to-speak.  Two historic Charleston homes each proudly standing the test of time, with life still passing through their corridors, after two centuries of history and societal cultures.

Will The Points Programs Work For You?

April 3, 2016 by Patti 8 Comments
Hilton points program

Never let it be said that there is not a lot to shout about when it comes to points programs.  Abi and I have been working the points programs for years (and years).  And I talk about Hilton so much that maybe one day the company’s powers-to-be will pay me to stay with them!  Ha!

Disneyland or Walt Disney World?

March 23, 2016 by Patti 8 Comments
Disneyland

Disneyland and I were born just 6 months apart and let me tell you that even though I’m 6 months younger than the magic kingdom, I feel really old just making that statement.  Want to know how old I am?  I remember the original mule ride where Thunder Mountain Railroad now stands.  The mules left the Disneyland corral years ago, but oh man, did I love riding those silly mules and believing I was seriously trekking through the desert.

Beaufort, A Picturesque Seaside Town

March 12, 2016 by Patti 8 Comments

Halfway between Charleston and Savannah, lies sleepy little Beaufort, South Carolina. It’s a picturesque seaside town with a pretty harbor where the sailboats silently bob up and down in the water awaiting the next adventure.  It’s a town where one genuinely feels as if you’re walking back through time. Yes, I know I say that a lot, but it’s true. There are so many quiet little blink-of-the-eye places in the US that often go unnoticed.

Tips for Visiting Savannah, Georgia

March 6, 2016 by Patti 6 Comments

As I said in my first Savannah post  – actually I was mostly raving about the food tastings of our Savannah Taste Experience Walking Tour – I really did not know what to expect of the city.  And, as I also mentioned we approached Savannah from the back door.  So much so that we ended up switching hotels on day 2 of our 4-day stay because we just weren’t where we wanted to be.

The Burgeoning Savannah Food Scene

February 28, 2016 by Patti 8 Comments

I really had no expectations of Savannah; having absolutely no inkling of what the city was like.  After spending several days in Charleston, I suppose it was natural to think Savannah would be quite similar to Charleston, but nope, that’s not the case at all.

The Old Sheldon Church

February 21, 2016 by Patti 10 Comments

It was described to us as being hauntingly beautiful and a must see destination as we traveled south from Charleston to Savannah.  The Old Sheldon Church.  As it turned out, I cannot think of two more appropriate words to use other than hauntingly beautiful.

The Road South: Drayton Hall

February 14, 2016 by Patti 9 Comments

Do you ever think about what you would have chosen as a field of study or your career if given a “do-over?” If I had it to do over again, I’m pretty sure – given what I know now – I would have been a history major because walking in the path of those who came before us is my absolute favorite aspect of travel – and life in general.

The Road South: Charleston, South Carolina

February 7, 2016 by Patti 10 Comments

Here’s the thing about the deep south, and cities such as Charleston, Beaufort and Savannah, it’s kinda like no other place you’ll ever visit in the US.  But then again the same can probably be said about the Pacific Northwest or the Southwest or the Midwest Bible Belt.  But then again… the history of the south is, well, like no other.

Asheville, The Biltmore House & A Nor’ Easter

January 24, 2016 by Patti 20 Comments

As I write this post we are in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  Myrtle Beach, not Asheville, North Carolina which is where we’re supposed to be, where it’s about 36 degrees and where the rain has been falling in torrential buckets for the better part of the day.  We spent over two hours this morning in a nearby coffee house nursing cups of hot steamy goodness while watching the downpour.  Now back in our hotel room, we are basically here in Myrtle Beach to wait out the storm.
