Recently I took a trip to Savannah, Ga. If you get a chance to go, do it.
If you have the money for gas, do it (the sights are beautiful throughout Tennessee and Kentucky).
If you are short on time, fly.
We had driven on a previous trip. This time we flew, which meant I got the luxury of not driving, starting a new book, and decent amount of sitting room. (I had flown American Airlines before. Since I booked with a friend, together we chose Delta. Much more comfy.)
Though I will say the last few times I have flown, it hasn’t been timed too well. Flying back from California last year, I had the stomach flu. Flying to Georgia this year, I was just getting over the stomach flu. Both, I had unknowingly caught from cute and (seemingly) innocent infants. My stomach was just a little wobbly still from after the bug.
After leaving chilly weather surrounding Detroit Metro, I welcomed the heat and humidity in Georgia.
We jumped into a cab and made our way to downtown historic Savannah for our weekend visit.
The reason behind our visit was our friend was getting married in Columbia Square, one of the eight squares, in historic downtown. A few trolleys passed by because the neighborhood was on the tour. So a few stopped, took pictures, and cheered when the bride and groom said their ‘I do’s.?
Our hotel was right on River Street. When we checked in we were told we had the best view. At first we thought they told that to everyone. But we did have the best view. We could see right down the street and see the riverboats. We took lots of picture of just our view.
Our hotel did seem out of place – a new building edged between buildings that have stood along the river since the town was built.
River Street isn’t paved, but in original cobblestone. The steps leading from the main streets down to the river were unchanged – steep and narrow. Beautifully untouched if you are wearing sneakers, like I was. My friend wore her wedge heels. We didn’t take the steps down. We found another way.
There was so much more, but alas that is our the room I have.
