The Carolinas for many people are the best of all worlds. At any given place, you’re typically no longer than a half-day’s drive from both the mountains and the beach. While most of the U.S. is getting back into the normal routine as fall is around the corner, now is one of the best times [...]
Having worked behind the scenes in the hotel industry, I’ve attained somewhat of an affinity for lodging. I’m probably borderline snobbish, if not a snob.
