Tomorrow is time for us to leave this wonderful place. We have had a wonderful vacation, visited some great venues, and didn't get to as many as we had liked to. Enjoyed some GREAT seafood meals, excellent shopping and some awesome beach visits.
Some how in the last 36 years, Charleston has changed since I was last here.
We found the hiding place of the USS Hunnley, but we were not able to view it, we were told that the scientists are always busy during the week checking it out and doing tests. Viewing is only allowed on the weekends, and sadly we will be leaving tomorrow morning.
For inquiring minds, the building is on the old Charleston Naval base, which is on McMillion st., off of Rivers Ave. Just follow the signs. Sorry we missed it.
Made two visits to Charleston AFB, looking for my old SQD, found out that it has been deactivated.
Did get pics of the aircraft I used to fly on, although it was the later version, I flew on the C-141A, the pics I have are of the stretched version, C141B. Still it gave GG an idea of the type of plane I was assigned to.
I will post pics when we get home of the eateries we ate at, and our opinion of their service and quality of food.
To be totally honest, this was a very memorable trip and we have had a very enjoyable visit. Cept for one small problem which I will state later after we get home and relax and get reroganized.
ONE more thing... Charleston has a massive history behind it and should be visited by all. During my 4 yr tour here, I never realized what the history of this city contained, we tried to see as much as we could but ,, we missed some, maybe a second visit is needed. I recommend it for anyone who is interested in our history.
