<i>Wow, Littleman's list is so comprehensive!</i>

GG...don't you wonder what he/she does in order to write the most extensive suggestions I have ever seen in 6 years on this forum??? Littleman...seems like you would have to eat 10 meals a day for a year to come up with these suggestions.

C'mon, please tell us what your day job is?? and of course, everyone with an interest in this kind of information thanks you profusely! I find it all quite wondrous...and amusing.

To the OP - hope you have an amazing vacation. I'm quite sure you will :)
Please don't miss Drayton Hall when you're in Charleston.
http://www.draytonhall.org/ It always impresses me.
A preserved, rather than restored, piece of plantation history.

So true, Stu! The only poster I've seen come close to that kind of extensive suggestions is Cicerone. I love that Littleman's lists are so detailed, down to which turns to take to get there. My kind of recommendations! ...And if it is a day job that takes Littleman to all these places, would that it were mine!! :D

Our telephone line has been down for a couple of days so just catching up. Thanks for the good wishes lantana - like the idea of Drayton Hall.

I'm now looking at our final destination, Chattanooga. Everything else booked more or less. Felt with this trip we needed to be a little more organised than usual. Didn't fancy arriving in some of these big cities with no reservations.

We're going straight from Nashville to Chattanooga. Had to give the Smokey Mountains a miss - just not enough time.

Bookmarking. Thanks!

Thanks, Starrs...guess I missed it. A nice, concise trip report..sounds like they had an enoyable time. How could you not? If UKLynne reads this, thanks to you two, also. Happy ti went well.
Thanks again for the heads up, Starrs.

You asked about Charleston accomodations downtown during a weekend. Of all the cities you mentioned, Charleston and Savannah probablly have the highest premium on weekend rooms. Weekdays you can save half on the historic district especially during that time of year.

Blue Heron Inn near Darien, Georgia is a privately owned B&B midway along the Georgia coast south of Savannah. Great bird watching, nature and a relaxing location. Nearby restaurants are locally owned with true southern low country cuisine.
