March can be a little windy, cool and wet, but I've seen it beautiful as well. Need to make sure its no later than the last weekend in March, The first weekend in April will see record prices on hotels as the Family CIrcle tennis cup, The Cooper River Bridge Run and the Summerville Flowertown festivile will all be that weekend. The eariler in March the better. Fishing will be good, more stuff to do in a bot that you could think to do. If you've never been boating around Charleston, you're in for a treat. I spent a lot of time on the NC coast from Wilmington to Moorehead, its a completely different type of boating around here. As far a lodging goes, just about anything in MT. Pleasant is nice(and expensive). Downtown Charleston is great(even more expensive) James Island is decent, North Charleston is hit or miss depending where you're looking. If anyone is going to be towing with a camper or motor home, there are several nice campgrounds around here. Folly Beach is pretty cool, has a ramp nearby, you may be able to find a cottage for rent at an offseason rate. Isle of Palms is $$$$, only Willy could affaord to stay there. Goose Creek(where I live) and Summerville both have nice places to stay, but they are probably a little further away than most would want(I live 15 miles from Charleston Harbor). Monks Corner is too far away unless you want to do the tailrace/Cooper River. Anyone find a hotel and want a drive by to see if its decent, let me know
