Charleston, SC (USA)

[CQ Detachment] Left Meridian this morning and stopped in Charleston for fuel and then got stuck (along with two other aircraft) waiting for weather to break.  Ate lunch at Burger King (1330L) but then ended up waiting all day - in the end we weren't able to reach MCAS Cherry Point (where the rest of the detachment was waiting).  After getting permission for the three crews to overnight in the area, we found a hotel: Northwoods Atrium Inn (Best Western Hotel).  We also had to get permission for being reimbursed for dual lodging (including the Sheraton I was already paying for in North Carolina).  Later, we all took taxis to go out for dinner in town (I got money at an ATM in Charleston at 2000L to cover the fare for the return ride).  We'll try to depart again tomorrow...
