I will. Thank you for your generosity of ideas!
Sorry to say I don't golf. I know this is the premier place! Oh well. Off to the spa!
Thanks, Mtmn! Not a birder ... mostly interested in capturing Charleston details and beach scenes on Kiawah. My 14 - 24 is arriving a little too late!

Thanks, Jeep! The macro's staying home ...
Thanks Anan! That's the bag that's going!
Thanks so much, Bill. 24-70 is my go-to, so that makes perfect sense!

Thank you for the advice, Steve.
Thank you for the good news, Brow! Looks like the weather is going to cooperate!

In addition to old Charleston near The Battery and Fort Sumter (the target of the first shots of the Civil War, fired by the cadets of the Citadel), consider Patriot's Point ( http://www.patriotspoint.org/ ) for an unguided tour of some really interesting naval vessels including the USS Yorktown carrier (complete with many great restored vintage airplanes on the below flight deck), a wonderfully complete WWII submarine, The Savannah (first nuclear-powered merchant ship), a Fletcher-class destroyer, and others. Also the Citadel and their Friday afternoon parade if you're there on a Friday. Then there's the Charleston Museum and the H.L. Hunley (Confederate submarine) at the Lasch Conservation Center. Pat Conroy's "The Lords of Discipline" is good background reading, and perhaps they're still showing "Dear Charleston" at the museum, a great short film made by my friend Mark. Lots to see in Charleston...

Wow! I wish I had more time in Charleston. Perhaps I must book another trip! Thanks for your feedback.

Thank you, Pixel! Just trying to skinny it down to a small bag. I most appreciate your response.

Thank you so much for your generous response! Andover is lovely! Your recommendations are most helpful!
I will be mindful to pack a jacket worth the wind. (Trip is this week.) Great advice.

Thank you so much for your reply! I do agree that the 18 - 200 is the most versatile, but it is not the best glass in my bag. Do you think I could live with the 24 - 70? Again, based on what is available to shoot? Add in the extra weight of the 70-200? Not sure. Again, thanks for your input.

I just found out that I will be headed to South Carolina for a very short trip. One afternoon, evening, and morning in Charleston, then off to Kiawah Resort for 3 days and two nights. I'm completely unfamiliar with the area and am struggling with what gear to bring as I don't know what I'll see. I have a Nikon d7100 with Nikon lenses that include 18-200 mm DX kit lens, 24-70mm 2.8, 70-200 mm 2.8, 50 mm 1.4, and 105 mm 2.8 macro to choose from. I will fly with my gear in a carry on and stow it under the seat, so I know I need to winnow down the list to keep it light. I hope you awesome Hogs can recommend what you would bring based on your knowledge of the area. And please throw in any "must see/must do" recommendations! (FYI, I don't golf ... pity.) My thanks in advance!

Jennifer
