I don%26#39;t know about the sights you listed, but historic Charleston is a must. Charleston is a walking city, and that is also the best way to appreciate all the wonderful things it has to offer. If you just wanted to do historic downtown (and not any of the plantations - they could take a full day by themselves) I would give yourself two to three days. Stop by the visitors center and they will give you a map. I would just start walking visiting all the places marked along the way. The mansions are a must, as well as a carriage ride, a ghost tour at night, the provost and battery park. Three days would be a quick once over, but to really appreciate all the city has to offer, I would spend most of your time here. Regardless as to how many days you spend there, you will absolutely enjoy it. In March, the weather will be perfect for walking around the city!

Plan on two hours for Fort Sumter; its a 20-30 minute ferry ride each way; then you have roughly an hour to explore. I%26#39;m not a huge war historian but my daughter, who had just studied about Ft. Sumter in class, requested we do the tour. It was pretty cool!

When planning keep in mind: March is usually a slower month. Easter comes early next year. Plan accordingly. If you are interested in renting a home or villa on one of the islands, I suggest you contact owners now. You%26#39;d be surprised how many families visit during Easter holiday.
