Charleston, SC to Hampton, VA (June 2013)

When we got to Charleston we decided to try out the Charleston Harbor Marina, which is actually outside Charleston in Mt. Pleasant, where my sister Lynn lives.  The marina is part of a resort with a hotel, pool and free trolley to downtown Charles…

St. Petersburg, FL to Beaufort, SC (May 15 to 31 )

We had planned an earlier departure for our 2013 cruise, but, as usual, life intervened.  That’s not to say we didn’t enjoy our extended stay in St. Pete.  We had a relatively quiet Christmas with John and Meredith and grandson Alex.  Al…

Ohio River Down Bound Part III (Sept 25 to Oct 6)
