The Pink House in Savannah has excellent food.

MORE days in Charleston--a day trip to Savannah would suffice.

Here are the links to my trip reports from my two visits to Charleston - maybe you will find them helpful -
if you have any specific questions on anything in particular that I did - ask away !

I stayed at a B&B on King Street -- great location (quiet at night and was able to walk to all sites). You might want to check tripadvisor. I ate at Hanks and SNOB (Slighly North of Broad). I suggest you visit at least one of the planations: Magnolia, Drayton Hall, Bonne Hall (there might be more).

The visitors center will be able to answer questions re your interests.

I LOVED CHARLESTON - clean, safe, lots of history, tours for every interest available.

I also visited Savannah about two years ago. I stayed at a B&B there as well (would not recommend; walls too thin). Also, lots of history/sites. Don't miss the River Walk; you can almost 'see' the old ships pulling up to transport cotton. I went in April and although it was about 80 degrees, it was HUMID.
