First is I loved the historic city! To be so surounded by so much history was incredible! We went out to see the Middleton Plantation and did a tour of the historic homes near Battery Park, both of which were awsome. It was hard to get my head around the fact that my family homesteaded and cleared land here in Oregon in the early 1890's and I was walking around in homes built in the 1700's.

The first restaurant we ate at was Hank's, just up the block from the Doubletree. I had the softshell crab over collard greens and mashed potatoes, all of which were very good. The second night my wife and I ate at High Cotton, we loved the setting and the service and food were 1st rate. The last night we ate at Cypress, by far our favorite, the interior was incredible, the wine selection was outstanding, the appetizers were out of this world and I had the sushi grade tuna wrapped in phlylo, I sharred a bit of it with the rest of my family and had to almost beat them back from a second nibble.

What I didn't like about the south, first, the heat! You guys are nuts! With the heat index a 110, walking around is a huge challenge, I can't see how anybody could get much done outside anytime after noon.

Second and most important, pouring drinks out of the miniature bottles was the craziest law I have ever seen. Not getting a real poured drink was really depressing. No matter how much you tipped the bartender you weren't going to get a drink any stronger than the last one. You guys need to change that law or the south will never rise again.

We plan to visit again, thanks for all of your suggestions,
