Vacation Planning

The city of Savannah is one of my favorites. The romance, the sea, the history, the square, the massive trees - all of it combine to create a unique destination that makes a visitor want to return again and again.

Savannah is southeast of Atlanta just over 200 miles, but it seems a world away. When you plan your visit, explore the different options you have for accommodations before settling on an ordinary hotel. A bed-and-breakfast or one of the historic inns will make your stay extra special, yet the cost may not be much more (if at all.)

You’ll want to explore the regions of town before you make reservations, so you’ll know the best place to stay to meet your needs. Do you want to stay in the Historic District, or stick close to the airport, or do you want a beach vacation? You’ll have plenty of options, so you might want to look at a map as you make your plans.

The city has an active calendar, so plan your vacation around it to make the most of your experience. Depending on the time of year and the events, you may need to plan ahead.

Plan to spend a lot of time walking - it’s the best way to see the city, and to soak in the flavor and the atmosphere. Take your time - examine the historical markers, sit on a park bench, explore the boats. Unwind and enjoy.

Tybee Island is a short drive from Savannah, but makes a great destination - and one I always include in any visit to Savannah.

I’ll have some good eats in the area posted on Friday, so be sure to check back then.
