Hotel Hampton Inn Brunswick

Got ready to leave yesterday and discovered that the Windows program on our computer would not operate! Mike worked at it all day and still no luck. So we stayed the night and got up in the morning to try again. Thought we had success and prepared one more time. With a deadline of 2 p.m. to make a decision, we're waiting we baited breath.

Just to let everyone know, we're leaving Brunswick tomorrow morning, at last. The fellow re-doing our sail system arrived this morning with our sail, put it up and was gone by noon. Wow, it looks great Of course, we need the cover yet. That will be the week after Thanksgiving. However, we are now ready to start the trek south. We hope to be in St. Augustine by Saturday where we'll stay until we have the sail cover.

It is an elegant house, having a private bowling alley downstairs, tennis courts, a relection pool in the front and of course filled with furniture that are beautiful. The swimming pool is my favorite. You can stay there if you wish, but you have to have a minimum group of 12 and stay a minimum of two days.

... and it has become our "island" home. It is homey and comfortable and during the off season, we are allowed to bring along our four-legged family member. I've heard that the island hotels leave a lot to be desired, but never having stayed in one, I can't say for sure. It is difficult to get a good meal at the island restaurants, but Brunswick and even St. Simon's Island is only a short drive away. I ...

Great Realtor on St. SImons Island, Ann Barnes w/ Signature Properties Group, Inc., here looking for a house and she found exactly what we wanted.

I have been coming to St. Simons Island for as long as I can remember and have always loved it. Lots of great memories here from all different periods of my life. I can always count on nice nice weather, great accommodations, and being over fed by my wonderful Grandmother...and that's pretty much what I got.

... to say a prayer for the frog. Thank God! We then made our way over to Fort Matanzas. It was a fort that protected the back door to the inter coastal to St. Augustine often used by pirates. We were slightly early so we went over to the beach. Once again, we were very taken by the beach and it's beauty. Miles of beach that seem to be so peaceful and empty of people. This one you could drive on if you so ...

We are running a little behind schedule still, but it has been a fun trip so far. We stopped at South of the Border to stretch our legs. The kids were not thrilled! LOL. But, the posed for a few pictures anyway.

Isolated residential settlements may be seen far in the distance where they dot the banks here and there, but in between are vast stretches of untouched marsh grass and highlands. Most of the anchorages provide only minimal shelter and are often not suitable for winds over 20 knots." The Mid Atlantic Waterway Guide states in its section entitled the ...
