If you want golf and beaches and great outlet shopping - HHI is your spot!

If you want to sightsee great architecture and gardens and historical stuff like The Battery and open air markets on cobblestones - Charleston is your spot! A true history buff would want to go and see the Civil War submarine Hunley and its effects under restoration at the old Navy base (I hated it/ hubs loved it lol). There is some big old retired Navy ship (WW II Ithink) berthed across the big bridge at Patriot's Point; and not far from there is the estate that was the site for filming some of Gone With the Wind.

After seeing Charleston it made me forget how beautiful I thought Savannah was!
