During our online chat (most Mondays at 2 p.m.), you ask and we answer your travel questions -- mostly. Here's one we couldn't get to last week.
I want to take my wife on a babymoon in May. We would like to rent a North Carolina beach condo. Can you swim comfortably there in May?
A cherished piece of popular wisdom suggests that most people require, at minimum, a water temperature of 70 to enjoy swimming in the ocean (Canadians excluded). According to the National Oceanographic Data Center, the North Carolina coast probably won't achieve that magic number in May, when you can expect average water temps of just 68. Consider trekking a bit farther south, to Myrtle Beach, S.C., where the water will be somewhat warmer then, even hovering near 75 during the second half of the month. Or you could postpone your trip until June, assuming you (and the baby) can wait that long. Info: http:/
