I am definitely going to check it out in person. I've always wanted to visit Charleston and combine it with a trip to Savannah GA It sounds wonderful.

My daughter was living in Asheville when my first grandchild was born, and I drove up there and back everyday while they were in the hospital..a beautiful drive through the foothills and the mountains.
I really liked Asheville too, but I understand the downtown area has become a 'hangout' for the homosexuals and lesbians. Apparently, Asheville had a gay mayor who got laws or ordinances passed to benefit their activities. Met a couple who were planning to retire to Asheville, but changed to Hendersonville, NC after finding out about the gay population. Still Asheville is a beautiful city, and the Biltmore House and Grove Park Inn are well worth visiting! I guess I'm a little partial to Greenville since I've lived here so long and have 'roots' now. Give us a try!
