Exciting Emeritus College Charleston Outing
The Emeritus College is planning a two-night trip to Charleston, SC March 11-13, 2025 (Tuesday-Thursday).
Our last outing to Charleston was a wonderful event. For 2025, the plans are for a more flexible trip with one day spent in the downtown Charleston area. More details will follow on the specific activities for those who register for the trip. Thursday, we will plan a visit to the Avian Conservation Center and lunch at SeeWee in Awendaw (just down the road from Mount Pleasant).
Travel to and from Charleston is up to individuals who choose to attend, as is the cost of the rooms (more details below), meals, and incidentals.
We have a block of rooms at the Indigo Inn. Currently, we are limited to 16 people*, so please be sure to complete the Emeritus College trip registration form by January 31st (link below). The cost of the room at Indigo Inn is $299 + tax/night. A link to register for a room at the Indigo Inn will be provided by email to those who complete the form linked below:

*Note: If the interest is greater than 16 people, we can arrange for additional rooms or keep a wait list in case someone drops out.
If you are unfamiliar with the Indigo Inn, it is located at 1 Maiden Lane in downtown Charleston. The hotel provides an afternoon cheese and wine reception (5PM), continental breakfast (7-10AM), milk and cookies (8PM), and wireless internet. Self-parking is $25/night for cars.
In addition, we do plan to make reservations for dinner on both Wednesday and Thursday evenings, so that we can come together as a group and enjoy each other’s company. I do want to thank Drs. Imtiaz and Mary Haque who are helping to organize the trip and these wonderful activities.
