All the information here is so great. I am thinking about trying to find a Bed and Breakfast like was mentioned here. But I looked some up and do not know where to start. Any advice on a particular one? Or a location to pick or to avoid?

(And, Opus, yes, I read "In the Garden of Good and Evil" and loved the movie, too.)

It sounds like all of you have a soft spot for Savannah. I bet I will, too.

Thank you. And I will be glad to learn more. I will definitely be printing this thread to put with the book I have. I always like information about trips from real people better than from books.

Boomer,

I, too, think I must have Southern roots. Loved Savannah! We weer their last year for my daughters' bachelorette (yes, old mum came along). One restaurant I really like is The Pink House. It is on one of the squares and is set in an old Savannah home. We also took a walking tour with a guide named Bobby (?) - if you PM me that you are interested, I will find out his contact info for you.

Any time walking around the squares is just the best/ I would also go to the Telfair Museum. The "bird girl" statue from Midnight... is now there and thy have a beautiful collection of art from the Low Country.

We stayed at the Hyatt (good location, low charm), but have also stayed at an inn with my hubby a few years back - liked that better. We also did a nighttime ghost tour - it was a blast!

Kate

(PS after reading your humorous, insightful posts - I'm sure you are in no danger from Paula)
