Charleston was my favorite city we visited. It is what Newport could be. The houses were well preserved with Southern charm. Each street you walked down had character and alleys that lead to more house to small doors to courtyard gardens. Everything was thoughtfully preserved.

Several of the restaurants and bars had rooftop perches. The streets were cobblestone. An old church was converted to a bar. It is a city you don't mind wandering for hours with no purpose. If given the opportunity again, I would go back without a doubt.

Then, it was on to Beaufort, SC where Forest Gump was filmed. And that was Beaufort. Nothing more to say, except be skeptical of Yahoo, CNN or any other news list that states the 10 Best Undiscovered Towns or 10 Best of Anything really.
