We got to Savannah on Dec. 27th, and spent a week in the area. Stayed in a park called Hardeville RV Park, which was just 7 miles N of the Savannah River in South Carolina. It was a easy drive into Savannah, except we had to cross a tall bridge each time to get there. (I hate high bridges.)
What a lovely city. We both fell in love with it. It is well laid out and easy to get around in. Very beautiful city with parks all over the place. We felt very comfortable walking anywhere in the city and the people were so friendly.
The first thing we did was take a trolley through the whole downtown area. The driver pointed out many to the local attractions, which gave us ideas of things we wanted to go back and walk through. You could also get off the trolley and pick it up again anytime, which was nice.
Cute sign in front of one of the shops in the City Market area of town.
Open plaza near the City Market.
More open areas with sidewalk cafes.
One of the homes in Old Savannah.
This park is the one used in the film "Forrest Gump", when Tom Hanks was telling his story.
This is the bench in the Park that Tom Hanks sat on to tell his story and said"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you will get".

Street musicians playing on New Years Eve in a waterfront park.
We had dinner at a waterfront restaurant on New Years Eve and had a terrace table. During dinner we were treated to a view of an ocean freighter moving down the Savannah River heading for the open water of the Atlantic. These things are huge. When it was straight out from us, I couldn't get the whole ship framed in the camera.
