Once again I enjoyed a fabulous springtime visit to Charleston. Along the way I discovered some money saving tips. Consider flying into Myrtle Beach. You can get a direct flight for a good price on Spirit Airlines and the 1 1/2 hour drive can be fast or you can make some interesting stops and discoveries along the way such as these: boiled peanuts, the backwater low country, Brook haven gardens(this is worth a good half day at least), the beach, Georgetown (too bad they have a steel plant),Hog Heaven-a great soul food buffet for $6.95 definitely NOT low fat, and low country baskets. We also rented our car 7 minutes from the airport for less than 1/2 the price with the$10.00 taxi fare to Enterprise. I also discovered a great bed and breakfast on Broad Street for a great price. The Broad Street B &B claims to be the only Kosher B&B in Charleston but you don't have to be Jewish-just respectful of their customs. It was quiet and the none sabbath breakfast was great. The Sabbath breakfast with fresh fruit and Chaullah( sp?) bread sufficient for someone like myself who doesn't need a heavy breakfast. Haddassah was a great host and we had a small kitchen, sitting area, bedroom and bath all to ourselves. I still love the King George Inn but now I have another favorite place to stay in Charleston. More later.
