Hampton Inn & Suites Savannah-Historic District

... minutes to pump 13 gallons of gas...read that right - 10 MINUTES...but it didn't have the automatic 'full tank' shutoff. I shut it down and assessed the situation. There was a giant puddle under the back end of my car; gas all over the side of my car and tire. I did what I always do in these situations and semi-pretend it didn't happen. I grabbed the receipt, bent down to survey the puddle one more time and gave a glance at the guy who had just ...

... Yes we got suckered into one of those. We couldn't resist when they offered us $100. to listen to their 90 min. spiel.
We spent our one full day exploring the area by bike enjoying the cool but sunny weather. We picnicked in a dune, protected from the wind and rode our bikes back all the way over the gorgeous wide beach with wind in our backs..

... a perfect days walk. We took a self guided walking tour of Old Town, which was amazingly beautiful and well laid out. We stopped at a British pub for some hard cider and warm pub food, it was great!

A stroll along the foreshore and our time in Savannah was up. This is a beautiful, balmy town that we thoroughly enjoyed. We wished we could stay longer.

Love and Peace to you all, the spanish moss covered, Bek and Jesse Train

... however we did not go inside *s I could not of climbed the st*irs *nd we could not t*ke dogs in. We h*d to t*ke the dogs b*ck to the hotel so we could go *nd see Fort Pul*ski.

... because the Bull sharks were feeding at the bottom of the river. No swimming for us!!! Although there were people water skiing? Anyway, we paddled back to the main river and saw a pod of dolphins. They are so beautiful and it was amazing to see them in their natural environment. There were some baby dolphins too. It is illegal in Georgia to swim with or feed dolphins as they want them to stay wild and not become reliant on humans. It was a fantastic experience and ...

Savannah is really a great place to visit. If you go make sure to take the trolley tours, it's well worth the money. It's nice to sit back, not worry about the traffic and listen to your guide as he narrates the tour. You are free to get on and off as you wish, because there are many areas where you will like to spend some time.

... s house - All in three days! Savannah (dog not city) is still going thru some issues after our loss of Ashley before leaving Santa Fe. Savannah is doing better everyday in missing her lifelong friend - she will now allow herself to be more than 5 feet away from me! I will be leaving for Greece in a few days and will add pics to this blog - See you then

... a lot of my Jimmy Buffett music. Margaritaville at Universal's CityWalk is probably my favorite restaurant ever and we go at least twice on each trip so Jimmy Buffett is now synonymous with our Orlando vacations! At 6:30 we stopped at our annual "quick breakfast on our way to Florida" spot, the Ric************* rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike. We parked and ...

... also showed up sometime in the middle of the night, to join us for the hippie extravaganza. We all woke up early the next morning, made some cowboy coffee and geared up to wake the two miles into the forest where the gathering was located. It was about 100 degrees and we were all carrying WAY to much stuff, so the journey in was a little difficult. Once we got there we were informed that there was poison ivy, chiggers, copperheads and Lyme disease carrying ...

... the Georgia colony. How fantastic it is that in this Southern city where so much Revolutionary and Civil War history is found the founders took the time and space to recognize one of the original Americans. Finally, back at the truck, we loaded up and headed home. Back at the camper, Ed and I faced the decision of whether or not to stay one more night. Struck by our usual indecision, we left it up to the fates and tossed a quarter - heads we stayed, best two out of three, - and ...
