Savannah GA & Charleston SC
16-19 April 2017
We arrive in Savannah after flying the ultra-cheapo airline Allegiant Air (charges for carry on luggage!). Leonie meets us at the airport and we manage to pack all our luggage and selves into her Mini! She surprises us with a room at the lovely Hotel Indigo. We take a stroll around lovely historic Savannah city centre. Alex gets to walk the dog... In honour of Alex's first ever hamburger at the Five Guys in New York when he was two, we indulge in burgers and shakes at the Five Guys next door! The next day we hit the beach, then off to the very interesting Fort Pulaski, dating from the War of 1812. Alex likes it so much he starts a model of it in Minecraft! A dinner at the Crystal Beer Palace rounds out our stay in Savannah. The next morning Leonie drives us to Charleston SC. Lunch at the lovely Five Loaves cafe rates as one of the best meals we have on the trip. Dinner with Jana's old mentor and boss Ray was lovely, if interrupted by the Grateful Dead revival concert next door... The following morning Jana & Alex have a chance to wander this charming town while daddy works...
