Pineapples, Rhett, and Rich

Short version: Rhett was not sighted in Charleston, SC.
Long version:  It takes 12 1/2 hours to drive from Rector, AR to Charleston, SC. Bathroom breaks are allowed.
Dog version:  Hershey travels well, and there are hotels that are "pet friendly." go to BringFido.com
Rich's version:  He really loves what he's doing and is planning to progress with that Tree company.  He may be called to help in the clean-up aroung NJ and NY from Superstorm Sandy. He says he and Maureen are very happy.

Charleston, SC old downtown is pretty, but it still carries scars from Hurricane Hugo.

Residential areas for the super-wealthy:  The Battery with preserved, updated, and historical landmark townhouses. Other areas are for young couples, rich folks, regular people, etc.  James Island, Daniel Island, West Ashley.  Sullivan's Island is the beach community and boasts an Edgar Allen Poe tavern because he served at Fort Maultier on that island. Folly Beach is for the surfers.
Rich and Maureen really like it there, but it has been a huge culture adjustment and financial struggle moving to new town and a totally new environment.

I am trying very hard to remember myself at 23 and how I wanted so very much to have NO advice from my parents. Golly Gee, that is hard.
