RONALD’S TRIP
TO SOUTH CAROLINA & GEORGIA, US.
8 NIGHTS/3 STOPS
An architectural wonder, typical Southern food speciality and beach life.
We wanted to discover the oldest city of the United States and its fascinating history. We loved the architecture of the houses with typical porches , balconies and colorful facade. One of the features that stands out is the cobblestones street. It recreates a particular ambience from the ancient colonial life. The southern culinary world is also very rich with BBQ and seafood specialities like fish and chips, oysters, shrimps. We also experienced the famous ghost tour in Savannah, known for its haunted locations! People are very welcoming and have a great sense of hospitality. South Carolina has this relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to travel with a one-year-old baby. Our budget for the whole trip was around $ 1250 per person for 8 nights (excluded food and activities).

GOOD TO KNOW
-
The summer is very hot and humid. It’s better to plan your trip during autumn and spring.
-
We would have stayed in a more modern hotel in Charleston that we discovered when being there: the spectator hotel.
-
Charleston is a paradise for photography with its colorful facade and typical colonial houses. Don’t forget your camera!
-
This is a perfect destination for a travel with a one-year-old baby. The streets are peaceful, there are a lot of parks and you can enjoy the beach life in the afternoon. The temperature is warm and nice.
