Is SAVANNAH better than NEW ORLEANS??? (East Coast RV Road Trip)

Рет қаралды 25,588

2 жыл бұрын

We are embarking on the biggest trip of our lives! We are traveling all the way up the East Coast from Florida to Maine and then back to Louisiana!! The first stop is Savannah, GA. This has been a city we have wanted to visit for quite a while now. Everyone tells us 'if you like New Orleans, you will love Savannah'. So it was the perfect stop for us in Georgia. Oh did we mention, that we will be visiting 20 states on this trip???
This is an RV road trip and we find a great campground, Red Gate Farms, that is also a trolley pick-up spot... how perfect! We love doing a hop on hop off tour in any new city. You learn some of the history and see the stops along the way that you want to visit more of.
We spent all day exploring Savanah and most definitely want to come back for more!! It does remind us a lot of New Orleans, but has it's own personality!
Are you an RVer looking for a nice campground in Savannah, we have you covered there with a quick tour of Red Gate Farms.
Be sure to stay tuned as this trip is just getting started!!

The first time I went to Savannah, about 30 years ago, the stairs to River Street didn't have the hand rails. I was young then and it was still a little scary going down the steps. Now in my old age, I wouldn't attempt to go down the steps without the handrails. I do love that city.

Each has their advantage. Savannah also has a beach whereas New Orleans you would have to drive quite a distance to find one. Food, well, I actually enjoyed Savannah's options more. More to do as far as nightlife in N.O. so it is definitely something that depends on what you are looking to do.

I spent 3 days in Savannah in 2019 and enjoyed my time for the first 2 days. For me two day would have been plenty. We did a food tour one day that was disappointing. We also spent a lot of time walking around the area and really enjoyed it. There were two cruise ships (American Cruise Lines) docked along the River Walk when we were there. We did have some really good food and the whisk(e)y selections were top notch. One bar has a bunch of scotch on tap, which was cool to see. Husk restaurant was great for fine dining and Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room has the best biscuits I've ever had and that was worth the half hour we waited in line to get into the restaurant.

Also. Next time you’re in Savannah you HAVE to see Bonaventure Cemetery. It’s absolutely beautiful. The old monuments and stones are breathtaking. We did a golf cart tour where the guy told us the history and showed us the oldest monuments in the cemetery. Some dating back to the late 1700s. If you’re a history fan like me you’ll just love it.

The conundrum for Georgia and South Carolina is that SC actually grows more peaches and GA grows more peanuts but they're famous for the opposite. Also, "Just Peachy" means it's a pretty crappy day... Those steps on River Street will get you after a few drinks!!!! Savannah is our favorite town, especially if you like to party! BUY THAT NATIONAL LAMPOONS HOUSE!!! You NEED IT!!!!! Texas Reuben?? We're IN!!!!! If ya'll ever make it back to Savannah, you have to visit Bonaventure Cemetery. Talk about haunted!?! You'll get spirit activity during the day. True Story. Also, you gotta visit The Pirate's House, which is the oldest house on the southeast coast and rumored to be where Black Beard actually died. It harbored all the famous pirates of that time, and then you gotta visit Moon River Brewery, it's one record of being one of the most haunted places in Georgia. Don't know if y'all know but the song, 'Moon River' was written from the inspiration Rosemary Clooney found in Savannah.

To answer Jason's question about why it's called Spanish Moss.. it was a term that describes the beards of the Spanish army that the soldiers wore when Savannah was attacked by the Spanish during the Spanish American war.

@crashmacduff7378 2 жыл бұрын

Actually you're partially right Savannah was not attacked during the Spanish-American war. The Spanish were trying to retake the colony of Savannah and Georgia when it was under British rule. the Spanish moss is not even a moss it's an actual plant more closely related to its cousin the pineapple.
