I would like to take a long weekend trip to either city to visit historic sites/homes and maybe do a little shopping (local artists or antique looking). Because I have a limited amount of time, I only want to visit one of the cities.

I am traveling by myself and looking for a safe, yet cheap, place to stay and eat.

Any suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks!

Anyone?

I'm not bringing a monkey, I don't own a dog, and the last thing on my mind is trying to convince anyone else to come along.

Emmy, you probably haven't gotten immediate responses because this question has been asked a few times quite recently. As a recap, most people recommend Charleston over Savannah, although Savannah has its proponents.

Good luck!

Thanks Arabella. I'll try the dreaded search.

I was thinking about giving it the title of "Would Keri's dog prefer to hump a monkey in Charleston or Savannah?"

I like Charleston better. Look on Travelocity or Expedia.com for a cheap hotel.
