Arrived without incident.  Luggage and car rental were all where I was promised they would be.  I am sat on a four post bed in the “Governor’s Chamber” at a place called the Inn at Merridun in Union South Carolina.  It is a former plantation mansion built in the 1850s.  Its an embarrassment of space for little old me.  But the innkeeper did point out the library which is full of history and genealogy books.  So guess where I’ll be after dinner.

First things first however, I’ll post a few pics and comments from the trip down.
