Well our 4 week vacation turned into 4 days. Anyway, thanks
for everyone's input. We will save for another time. Really
enjoyed
Savannah.
Interesting, spent four days next to Hurricane Florence in
Savannah, sun shine and not a drop of rain. Got home in The Villages,
downpour all afternoon. Go figure!
See ya next time!

Anyway, my bride Shari can't pass an Ice cream shop, so here we
are.
Also had lunch at a great sandwich shop, proclaimed to be the best in the country.
Actually maybe #2. Called
"Zunzis". Conquistador their headliner.
Fun place!

Hi, we are safe in Savannah, Ga and spent two days in the lovely
city. No hurricane affect here. But clearly we will not be able to
continue our trek north.
Plan on heading home tomorrow, Sat 9/15. All cancellations
went well.
Savannah fun! Lovely breakfast at a little "Forest
Gump" filming diner, ie; Deb's Café. Great breakfast.
Then went to their "City Market". Found the "Hop on Hop
Off" trolley tour.
More history here than one can recall. Wonderful architecture
and town squares. Jumped off at River Drive along the Savannah
River. Free water taxi. Lots of folks fleeing the hurricane from
the north have landed in Savannah, so a bit busy. Toured River
Street. Great dinner at "Pirates House" along the River.
Very Good!
Those poor people in Wilmington. Lots of flooding.
See ya soon!

Well it appears Florence has turned our trip upside down,
approaching a cat 5 hurricane and headed directly to two of our reservation
destinations. We were told traveling east coast to popular busy spots we
better have reservations, so we booked over $2,000 worth. Now try to cancel.
Not a problem for Myrtle Beach and Virginia Beach, they were under evacuation
orders, so no problem canceling there. Our problem is the areas not yet
affected but making it literally impossible to get to, ie; Cape Cod and Acadia
NP. Savannah is also open for business and in a much as we are in a 3 day
window, no refund for cancellation $500.
So, we seasoned former RV'ers are not use to this serious
reservation stuff, and in an emergency a Wal Mart Parking lot always worked
fine. Our friends the Crowe's will love this, see pic of our former RV
friends.
So, here is what we have decided. We are leaving today to
Savannah, Ga not in the storm path. Use our $500 non-refundable
deposit. After a 4 day stay we will decide what to do about the
rest. While our northern destinations may not be affected the problem
will be how to get there through 2,000,000 people under evacuation
orders. Wow! Suspect we will be heading home.

ps: Oh I wish we were still RV'ing! I miss my friends!
