AMANDINE’S TRIP
TO SOUTH CAROLINA , US.

4 NIGHTS/3 STOPS 

 

Warm weather week-end escape


Amandine organized 4 days weekend trip to Charleston, South Carolina during Thanksgiving break (end of November). They wanted to spend some summer time before the hard winter comes. Charleston is an easy destination for 4 days. Flight time is short, it is not too crowded, you can still enjoy the beach while visiting the oldest US town. Our budget for the whole trip was around $ 800 per person for 4 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.
  • An option for a hotel in Charleston would be the Wentworth mansion, a 5-star hotel.
  • We would go back for one week and would rent a house. It is easy to get there. People are nice and welcoming.
  • Breakfast served is average. It’s better to make your own breakfast. Trader Joes & Whole food were at 5 min from the cottage. 
  • This is a nice trip to do with other families. You can rent up to 10 cottages!!
