Husk Charleston
Husk Restaurant

While planning our trip to Charleston there was one restaurant that I knew I had to try, especially since it is known for one of my favorite foods (among other things on the menu).

I first came across Husk on one of those top/ best burger lists that seem to frequently pop up. It’s also been featured on a bunch of TV shows.

IHG Rewards ClubA short while ago, Kim, Lucas and I checked into the Holiday Inn Express Charleston Downtown- Ashley River.

Upon pulling up, the hotel seemed nice enough as did the lobby. There were a couple of people online waiting to check-in before it was our turn.

Travel Articles, Trip Planning, ,

jetblue flightsA couple of weeks back I wrote of big changes coming to JetBlue in 2015.

The title of my post- JetBlue To Charge For Terra Blues Chips wasn’t what I’d call a serious one. I used it symbolically to highlight the impending changes and destruction of the things that made the airline stand out.
