Spring Blooms, Iconic Places & an Unforgettable Love Story

A show, a hotel, and none of the driving.

The Notebook as a stage musical does something the film could not, and seeing it a few miles from where the film was shot makes it land differently.

We are going to Boone Hall Plantation, which is that plantation, the one from the movie. You walk the Avenue of Oaks, tour Allie's summer home, see the gardens, take the wagon tour, and hear the Gullah presentation.

Then a guided horse-drawn carriage tour of historic Charleston, free time at the City Market and along King Street, and dinner before the show at the North Charleston Performing Arts Center in orchestra seating.

Early April is the right week for this. The azaleas are out, the gardens are at their best, and the Lowcountry does its thing. Bring tissues, and I mean that sincerely.

Before You Book

A few quick answers

Where does the motorcoach leave from?

We depart from Brunswick County and the Greater Myrtle Beach area. Tell me which pickup point is easiest for you and I will note it on your reservation.

Is Boone Hall really the plantation from the film?

Yes, that is the one. The Avenue of Oaks is exactly what you are picturing, and it is worth the trip on its own.

Is this trip open to husbands and partners?

Yes. The Charleston show overnights are open to everyone. Bring him, bring a friend, bring a whole row.

How much walking is involved?

Very little, and most of it is your choice. The coach gets us close, the theater and the carriage tour are both seated, and the hotel is comfortable. This is one of the easiest trips we run.

What should I wear?

Whatever you like. Some people dress up for a night at the theater and some come as they are. Both are perfectly at home.

Do I need a roommate?

No, but sharing brings the cost down. I am glad to match you with a roommate from the group.

Is travel insurance available?

Yes, starting at $48 per person, and I strongly recommend it. Ask me about coverage options when you book.

Is there a minimum group size?

Yes. Pricing is based on a minimum of 30 travelers, so let me know early if you are interested.
