It is so good to be back in travel mode. Some people work puzzles to keep the brainbox working. I travel. Travel has lots of moving parts. After a year of lockdown, Charleston South Carolina is pretty damn exotic.
Happy as can be with the hotel. They let me check-in well before noon. The wifi is adequate. This afternoon they brought a bottle of damn good champagne up to my room. Now, what’s an old woman going to do with a bottle of champers? The room has everything I need. Including a fine view and a tiny balcony. They put out individual plates of cheese, olives, fruit, and charcuterie, plus various wines around 5. Certainly sufficient for me for dinner. Especially since cookies are promised for later. And, breakfast will be delivered to my room. (just like back home at The Asylum)
I ambled around about 4 and a half miles today. First glance, Charleston is a lot like Alexandria or Georgetown – but bigger. I mean the houses are bigger. And, Charleston still has a working port. Main goal for me will be to not trip on the historic pavements.
Work for me tomorrow. But, hopefully still time for fun. If not. The view out the window will be different. And, I will wake up in a new bed.
