A skip down the Freeway, and a long short haul accross Manhttan (Bronx)to the George Washington Bridge gets us to Newark in good time to smile sweetly at the security people and watch an interesting financial tussle between an oversubscribed flight and people possibly prepared to travel later, regarding the financial adjustment needed. Brinksmanship was clearly in evidence. We had an uneventful flight to Charleston, with spectacular views over the Cooper river bridge, before a bumpy landing on a hot runway, and a warmer welcome from Tracy.
Hire car is a Ford Focus, and takes longer to get to a comfortable temperature, but we have a memorable drive back over the Cooper River, and on to Creekside Drive, where we receive an enthusiastic welcome and a hearty meal from the Wonnacotts.
James Tracy and Colin scrub up pretty well and within an hour of our arrival are deserting us for a coming out ball. We are not part of the debutante scene, and are typically underdressed,so we wave them off and relax in to an early night in a gorgeously comfortable bed, which has resolved my recent back ache.
