Hilton Head is like living in Palm Beach, Fla. It is an upscale resort
area where everything costs double. Charleston and Savannah are about
the same. Rent and Real Estate is through the ceiling in the historic --
tourist section of town. John's Island is near Charleston and a little
less expensive living. If you have Lotus 1-2-3 or Excel you can build
your own side-by-side comparisons and even set up a "What If Chart".
