Which do you like better? Charleston or Savannah? Charleston is a bit more sophisticated and classy.
My pick is Savannah. To me it's edgier and quirkier. In the early 90s, the book and movie, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" put Savannah on the map in a big way. It was chuck full of crazy, quirky places and folks.
Dave and I just spent a couple of days in Savannah. It's our forth time there and each time we've stayed in the same hotel, gone to the same restaurant and ordered exactly the same meal.

- The River Street Inn - On Bay Street in a building that used to be an old cotton mill. It's beyond charming.
- Huey's Restaurant. Same building, but right down on the water. We have fried oysters, red beans and rice.
This time we walked for miles in the old downtown area. Old Savannah has a park square about every other block. Lots of history in the squares. We also toured the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist. As grand and ornate as almost any church in Europe.
The River Street Inn has wine and appetizers at 5 PM. Free! We always sit with other folks and enjoy hearing their stories. This time we met a lovely couple from St. Louis. Turns out the woman was adopted. She found her birth sister on Ancestry.com and they were going to meet for the first time the following day. In Savannah!
By the way, the wine portions are gynormous. When I questioned the barkeep she said:
We call it the Savannah Pour!
