    I’m interested in taking my granddaughter thru the Outer Banks beginning May 18th or 19th 2025 for 3-4nights/days & after returning inland, heading to see Bald Head Island, NC for 1-2 nights/days. She is on a spring break from MUSC & is to be back to school in Charleston for class the last week of May. I prefer to be back in SC before the big rush of Memorial Day w/e. Any suggestions of places to stay like air b & b’s or similar?

    Took my first trip on Rt 66 in 1961 as we moved from Pennsylvania to Los Angeles. I am planning on another trip this coming year. I look forward to the painted desert and the petrified forest, I still have Glacier Part in Montana to traverse. Why go overseas?
