I’m doing this update from Savannah. Yup, that means that we make it here. The trip down went without a problem and was a very pleasant experience. All made possible because of our excellent driver, Doug.
We dilly dallied along the way, this afternoon, to avoid arriving too early and arrived right on the scheduled time.
Once again, we were extremely fortunate with our lodging accommodations. We are staying for the week in the Hampton Inn near the Savannah/Hilton Head airport. This place gets my highest recommendation for cleanliness and room size, etc. I would certainly be happy to stay here again!
We arrive a little after 3PM, so had nearly two hours to relax and freshen up for dinner. Our dinner was at a place called The Shell House. This is a seafood restaurant but they also served chicken or steak for those who don’t like seafood. The seafood included choices of Boiled Shrimp, Grilled Mahi-Mahi or Deviled Crab. Nancy and I shared the Deviled Crab and Mahi-Mahi and both were good. I wouldn’t rate the food here as exceptional but it was good and there were no complaints.
The Shell House also had a pond behind the restaurant. The pond was home to a good number of turtles and alligators. I went away wondering if perhaps the grumpy patrons were used as alligator food! 
Tomorrow, we plan to visit St. Simons Island and Jekyll Island. It will be a long day, starting around 7:30 with breakfast together and we will finally return to the hotel around 8:30 or 9PM.
Since a number of us forgot to bring umbrellas (including me but Nancy has hers), we made a quick trip to Wal-Mart for these, since the weather forecast here is for rain most of the week!
