      About this trip



      This day trip features a leisurely morning of cruising along one of South Carolina's beautiful Lowcountry rivers where we will be entertained and educated by a local historian.  During this 2 to  2 1/2 hour (depends on the tides) private charter we learn about the history, mystery and legends of six Rice Plantations.  The Waccamaw River also treats us to flora, fauna and usually wildlife sightings of eagles, ospreys and alligators.  Following our time on the river (rivah as the locals say) we make the short drive to The Market Common for lunch at restaurants of your choosing.  Please note it's strawberry season so you might want to stop in the Crepe Creation Cafe for a crepe loaded with beautiful berries (see the picture below).  A few other choices worth mentioning are Tupelo Honey, Jardin Eatery, Travinia Italian Kitchen, PF Chang's or the Brass Tap.  Round out the day with shops such as Anthropologie, Orvis, The Southern Living Store, Manifest Design or Two Brothers Wood Works.

      I love to travel so in my partially retired life I decided to adapt my passion for travel along with 25 years of experience in Travel & Tourism to create Trips by Patty. I received a BA in American History from UNC-Chapel Hill. Not knowing what I was going to do with that degree, I started working as a desk clerk at a hotel in Raleigh. I enjoyed the hotel business and the career path began. Hotel operations and sales, Convention Center operations and marketing, destination marketing with a Convention Visitors Bureau and even a stint as a tour guide. What happened to the history degree? Well, many times when I am escorting my trips I share the history of the destinations we visit. It's a great feeling to take your career skills and adapt them to your own small business. I love what I do and hope you'll join me on a trip one day!

      Once again Patty you did not disappoint. The show was amazing. The restaurant was wonderful; orders were correct and everyone’s food came out together. And of course, Donny did a great job getting us there and back safely.
