CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- With South Carolina writer Pat Conroy's novel "South of Broad" on the best-seller lists, you may want to glimpse places he writes about in what he calls his "love letter" to a coastal city.
A vacation package starting Monday allows just that.
For $699 weekdays and $799 on weekends, a couple gets a two-night stay in an historic inn, a two-hour walking tour through Conroy's Charleston and a Lowcountry dinner.
Guests also get a copies of Conroy's cookbook and earlier novels "The Great Santini," "The Prince of Tides" and the "Lords of Discipline."
And what visit to elegant Charleston would be complete without complimentary afternoon tea and sherry?
Conroy, who attended The Citadel, lives on Fripp Island near Beaufort.
