You scored huge. I just completed a case in Charleston and very impressed with the place. I can offer some suggestions.

Try to stay at the French Quarter Inn. It is reasonably close to everything and is very nice. I stayed there three different times and got different rates each time, but they were all competetive. It is an outstanding hotel, especially for the money. Tell me what other hotels you're thinking of and I'll tell you what I know of them, at least from the outside. I did also stay at the Elliott Inn, and do not recommend it.

Hank's Seafood is excellent. My local counsel brought me to a bunch of places the locals patronize. I'll email him and get some of the names.

Go see the Citadel. It's not worth the day, but it's worth a nice drive through. Patriot's Point with the Lexington aircraft carrier and a bunch of other stuff is a full day's activities. Ft. Sumter, of course. You can do a package deal with both Patriot's Point at Ft. Sumter.

Pretty much anywhere you stay at will be within walking distance of the waterfront, and everything in the downtown area is within easy walking distance of everything else. Spend as much time as you can just walking up and down Market Street and Meeting Street and Broad Street. Check out the market in the French Quarter, I think it's just off Meeting Street, near King Street. It's just down the street from The French Quarter Inn.

Check out the old churches and graveyards. Most are open and welcome tourists. The arcitecture of the old buildings is fabulous. Some very famous people are burried in the church graveyards.

I'll think about other stuff and post some more later.
