Everybody needs to get out once in awhile, but the sad reality is not many of us have the luxury of getting a lot of time off from work to skip off to some exotic location with a lot of pocket money. The fact is, most of us have neither the time nor money for that dream holiday, and to many such vacations remain dreams.
Still, that shouldn’t prevent us from taking a bit of well earned time off once in awhile. You needn’t travel too far to enjoy some quiet time, and there are beautiful things to see and fun places to go that don’t require that you have a huge chunks of time and thick wads of cash to spare. Charleston South Caroline is a great place to visit in late May or Early August. There are loads of things to do and sights to see, most of which are within the spending power of the budget conscious vacationer.
The Folley beach is a public beach, there are no fees charged, and it is a really great place to kick back on a sunny day. The Not So Hostel hostel is a popular destination for many of Charleston’s international visitors. Located conveniently in the center of town, you can stay for as little as $30 a night. They have free Internet use, a great staff, and visitors from all over the world.
Ranked among the top 5 markets in the world is the central market off King Street. You can find anything from the freshest produce to the most wonderfully crafted home décor and furnishings. Just off the market is the Nacho Royale restaurant. You can have a great Mexican feast for under $10 per person. Their Mexican pizzas and Margaritas are particularly famous. One of the oldest museums in the US is in Charleston as well. Charleston also features a rich and vibrant night scene.
Getting around in Charleston is never expensive; bikes are available for rental at whole day rates. You can save money and get some exercise as well. If you’re in the mood for a nice getaway, but are afraid of what it might cost, come to Charleston and be pleasantly surprised.
