I only visited there a couple of days in the spring. I thought it was a lovely city. Very historical. Some great food. Easy to get around town. Friendly people. Enjoy your stay. Explore everything while you have the chance.
Exactly. It s hot and humid in the summer, and I love it. I could live there. When you have time off, visit the great beaches (Folly beach, Kiawah island, etc.) Then check out the old south with a trip to Savannah. Use your leave time to explore the coast. It s the OCEAN man. Nothing better. The only downside is that there is no snow (but also, no bone-chilling cold). I m from the Northeast and I love Charleston. First time I went there was to visit my uncle who was stationed with the Navy there. And Charleston is a true antebellum city. You ll be fine.
It sounds like you re going to Goose Creek. It s not in Charleston proper but up the road a few miles.Here s some links to help:http://www.cityofgoosecreek.com/http://www.charlestoncvb.com/http://www.militaryconnection.com/navyba��Do you need someone to pick you up at the airport? Do you have a command sponsor? Do you know your command? I don t want to scare you but, these questions need to be answered as well. I retired in Goose Creek 16 years ago. Naturally things have changed but we do go down every so often to see friends.
It s really hot and humid, I couldn t get used to it.
