TripAdvisor Links 
Introduction ... 
Whether we're planning a trip and want to make reservations or still at home and looking for a place to eat, we usually start by visiting the TripAdvisor website.  Once on their website we search for what's available, then check the recommendations and experiences of other people.
Although there are many ways of searching the TripAdvisor website, we prefer to start with the TripAdvisor Tourism page.  On the Tourism page you'll find a quick overview of the community, with links to restaurants, lodging, flights, rentals and nearby attractions.
In addition, you'll find a link to the TripAdvisor Forum for South Charleston.  If you have a question about your travel plans, post it on their Forum and see if others can give you an answer.
All of this can be found on the TripAdvisor's Tourism page for South Charleston .

Footnotes ... 
<1> Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' distance.  A straight line distance ignores  obstructions like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line  drawn from Point A (ie- South Charleston) to Point B. Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in South Charleston.  The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 38.3495, Longitude: -81.7094        In this case, the coordinates for South Charleston have been provided by the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS).
