Bananas Apartments North Point

So the adventure begins today. I am hoping to have internet access at some of the hotels to upload our travels but if not, am keeping a journal and will do at the end.

Got up at 5:30am - made breakfast, finished house chores for cats and taking out garbage before leaving for two weeks. Finished packing and rearranging....then off to pic...

The Best Western Promenade hotel in Savannah was the best hotel accommodations so far on this trip and last night I realized why. They were compensating for something and that something translated into trucks driving by at all hours of the night. It sounded as if I'd pulled my mattress onto the freeway, waving cars and trucks by me dutifully (wh...

December 5 was the day the group had anxiously awaited....meeting day. It was the day we first got to meet our fellow teammates and group leader. To say the beginning of the meeting was quiet would be an understatement. Everyone walked in and gave a smile and quietly sat at their seats. Soon enough we all learned a little about each other. Judy ...

We left DC around 10 AM under overcast skies and drove due south. Dave totally decked out in Florida garb and I still playing it safe in my polar fleece with the result that we were not of "like minds' while driving!! But thank goodness for heated seats. The scenery along the way was pleasant. Lots of rolling hills. And in North Carolina, we not...

WOW .... Just loving everything about this city... For sure well worth lazing away a week in this glorious place!! What a treat ... Will be sure to get back here for a longer soak in the Southern charm!!

Hilton head ... Not soo much: if you are not heading here to golf then well worth passing I'm afraid!!

Moving right along ......

Today brought another fly-through visit, this time Charleston,South Carolina.



As a port city cut from the old mold Charleston does not disappoint. Beautiful architecture, coupled with art and food markets made our day an enjoyable one. Rainbow Row, with its multi-colored homes constructed as early as the mid-1700's is both sp...

While I enjoy traveling throughout the sea islands, including to Hilton Head and Kiawah Islands in South Carolina, Tybee, Jekyll, and St. Simons Islands in Georgia, and Amelia Island, Florida, Kiawah is my former home and the current home of my family so it will always hold a special place in my heart. Its peaceful beauty and quiet elegance enab...

Today we went to Charleston, We didn't make it there until almost 9:30, So we missed all the haunted jail tours that we wanted to go on. We did go to a really nice jazz club, with good music and cheap drinks.. Not to mention a really nice bartender. Then we picked up a bottle of wine to drink on our anniversary, and went back to the hotel room.<...

First stop, A quick shot down the coast, through the true rural south passing rundown homes and a seemingly equal amount of rundown churches, to Edisto Beach to stay with Jazzman, one of my dear, good friends. He manages and tends bar at Grover's (the best restaraunt and bar on the beach) located on the Plantation Golf Course (one of my favorite...

Wednesday April 15th 2009 We arrived Wednesday morning on a beautiful, sunny and warm day. Instead of going to the campground we headed right for the beach! The town is cute, friendly and very "beachy". There was a public beach access with plenty of parking for Crazy Fish. Off to the beach we went!! We walked on down to the end of the Island and...
