Edisto Island is about an hour south of Charleston and two hours north of Savannah, GA. Two of its sides meet the ocean, and the other two (three?) are defined by a river and an inter coastal waterway. When we picked this resort (Wyndham Ocean View) we thought we would be closer to Charleston than we were, but wiggling around those rivers made it farther out than we thought. Still, after spending a week in the "low country" we have no complaints!
After a dreadfully long day of two plane flights (at least the connecting flight was the one that was an hour late) and one car rental (we rented a Toyota Prius for you curious minds) we arrived at the resort at 9:00p on Friday. Enough time to check in, put the groceries away and chill for a while before bed.
Our unit - a one bedroom with a kitchen.
The "Village"
Part of the grounds
We ate here on our drive in: the Enterprise Pavilion. The Husband had crab cakes and I had a seafood platter with oysters, shrimp, founder and scallops. Yum!
The Husband was fighting a head cold, and with back to back trips for him (he had two weeks annual training for Nat. Guards the week before we left) combined with our long travel day, we were couch mushrooms on Saturday - venturing out only to eat dinner and to check out the dolphin beach. We were lucky! Dolphins!
Really, it is a dolphin!
Exploring
Dinner was at the Dockside, a local place where the waitstaff seemed to be on a first name basis with most of the customers. Also delicious! I had another seafood platter (I liked the variety) and the Husband had softshell crab. Oh my! His was super good - and a bit odd for us northern folk. To be eating the WHOLE crab was cool and weird at the same time. We'll be coming back to this particular dish later in the trip.
I'll post about the rest of our adventures in the coming days - we went to Savannah, GA, toured the States only Tea Plantation, went to Charleston, and explored Edisto Island. Lots to talk about!

I LOVE Charleston. We'll be heading that way in May.
