There are no good roads, and it's the worst-planned community in terms of logistics in possibly the whole US. I sure hope you and yours had a great time there, but if you're ever inclined to return to our podunk-*** state, hit the beaches of Charleston! The whole area is much nicer and more quaint, and Kiawah Island's beach was just ranked #3 in the US.

The Cycle fest was the next week, so I left before that.
Like I said, I had no where to go, and when the travel agent suggested it, I went for it. Besides, it was quiet, sunny, and there's some nice places around. I gotta agree that whoever laid it out is in need of some serious questioning, as well as the aforementioned lack of expressway acess. I'll freely admit, living in SE Michigan has spoiled me in some ways, especially with the road system. While the roads themselves may not be great, there's always 7 or 8 routes to anywhere you want to go, and it's all laid out very rationally. There's lots of wide expressways (minimum 3 lanes) that go in every direction, and the Nav system seems to work much faster and with less error than it did out of state.
Also, keep in mind, this is my first Nav system as well, I have no handhelds, in fact, never even seen anyone use one before in actual use. So, while the FEH may not have the greatest, it's sure nice when you are used to nothing.
