    Getting married September 2016 and getting started on our honeymoon early! Our current plan is to fly into Washington - 2 nights there and then drive down the East Coast through Virginia, Carolina etc. Having cities and beach days.

    Can you still visit the FBI offices/Quantico? I know you used to be able to but can't find any information on it. We are huge Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson, Criminal Minds etc fans so would love to see 'where it all happens' so to speak.

    Myrtle Beach is definitely a stop off point and into Georgia. Not really sure where to finish off. Any suggestions of things we really should see on our way?

    I have never been but Savannah, Georgia is supposed to be a beautiful city. I am sure there are people here who will be able to give you plenty of info.

    I was in Savannah its a very nice town but smallish so a day there is plenty.

    If you are in Virginia, checked out Williamsburg there is a colonial area there and a also a Busch garden theme park with a Irish themed section (well there was 15 years ago) it sounds tacky and it is but a bit of fun. There is also a water park nearby.

    Hilton head in South Carolina is also quite nice

    However all of these tourist places might be quiet if visiting after Labour day.

    Don't miss Charleston, SC.
    Myrtle Beach? A bit like like Jersey Shore, there are way better spots. For example Tybee Island, St. Simons, Jekyll, Isle of Palms. You really want to see something remote, try Cumberland Is.

    Have to second Charleston and Savannah, two beautiful spots.Hilton Head is also a great spot if you want some beach action with some great resorts. If you plan on going further south into Northern Florida I can't recommend St. Augustinne high enough. One of the most beautiful places I've visited with great restaurants and bars. Could easily spend a few days there relaxing.

    I too would skip Myrtle Beach. We spent a week there on a family vacation, and while it's great for families, I don't think it would hold much appeal for newlyweds.
