Two nights in Clemson, SC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Clemson in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Our original trip plan called for a couple more coastal stops, Hilton Head and Tybee Island, before swinging inland to Aiken and then up into the mountains at Clemson. But returning to our Charleston campground, a place we’d loved with Bugsy, was…

One night in Charleston, SC (visit #3)–May Carolinas loop
We visited Charleston in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Read about our first visit in 2017 here and our second in 2024 here. From Myrtle Beach, it was an easy 2.5-hour drive down to Charleston. We were scheduled to stay for two days, but being there without Bugsy was incredibly hard–and…

One night in Myrtle Beach, SC–May Carolinas loop
We visited Myrtle Beach in May 2025 as part of our May Carolinas loop. Flashy Myrtle Beach is an hour-and-a-half drive and a world away from laid-back Oak Island. I hadn’t been since college beach week and had no idea what to expect. We were bracing ourselves a bit for a tacky touristy or obnoxious…

Trip recap: May Carolinas loop
Forgive us if it takes a while to get back into our normal writing groove. Looking at photos and trip details without Bugsy here makes us sad, but we know we’ll want to be able to reference our travel notes in the future, so we’re trying to get back on that horse. We ended up…

Planning again, but shorter and sooner: May three-weeker
As some blocks of activities and obligations shift around on our Spring calendar, we’re seeing the possibility of a three-ish-week Airstream trip in May, and since I love to trip-plan, here I am to type up some ideas. Alas, we don’t have enough time to go all the way to Wind Cave. I had so…

One night in Greenville, SC (visit #2)–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Greenville in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. Read about our previous visit seven (?!) years ago here. From Columbia, it’s just under two hours of interstate driving to Greenville. Why Greenville? It’s a cool little city in Upstate South Carolina, about halfway between Charlotte and Atlanta, in the…

One night in Columbia, SC–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Columbia in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. The main reason we wanted to go to Columbia on our way from the coast to the mountains was Congaree National Park. Yes, there’s a national park hidden away in central South Carolina! Columbia is also the state capital, is the…

Three nights in Hilton Head, SC–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Hilton Head in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. From Beaufort, we drove less than an hour down to the next Sea Island to the south, Hilton Head. We weren’t sure what to expect there: ritzy resorts mixed with laidback locals’ joints? Ubiquitous tennis and golf culture? Beautiful beaches…

Two nights in Beaufort, SC–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Beaufort in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. Continuing our island hop down the coast of South Carolina, we drove 1.5 hours south from Charleston to Beaufort. Beaufort (BEW-fort, not like BO-fort, North Carolina!) is the second-oldest city in South Carolina, behind Charleston, and ahead of third-place Georgetown. But…

Two nights in Edisto Beach, SC–Carolinas in November trip
We visited Edisto Beach in November 2024 as part of our two-week Carolinas in November trip. From Georgetown, we drove a couple hours south to Edisto Beach, chosen for its old-school beach town feel, its scenic state park campground, and the dog-friendly beach itself. Our savvy Atlanta cousin gave us an important tip when we told…
