We came to Savannah as tourist and just fell in love with this beautiful, historic city.....so much so that we moved here, after living in Chicago for 50 years! Savannah has been our home for 7 years so far and we're loving it!!

I was stationed aboard the USS Savannah AOR-4 and we pulled into Savannah for the Shrimp festival, one of the most beautiful cities I have seen. The Commanding Officer was given the "Key to the City" from the Mayor, in uniform with our "Savannah" patches, we got unto alot of places free, the people loved us, and gave us a great welcome, seems I did not have to spend any money, even the taxis gave us free fair! A port visit I will never forget, THANK YOU SAVANNAH!

I had the pleasure of living in Savannah for ten years! My wife and I were in our twenties and just starting out. Two of our sons were born there. I worked at the newspaper just across the street from city hall and the Hyatt. I can’t tell you how many times I walked along River Street for lunch, or on some of those church steps in Johnson Square. Working on 111 W. Bay Street was thrilling, right in the middle of everything.

I hope you come to Jefferson City Missouri one of these days. My wife and I are from Cuba but I grew up in Miami. She has only been here since 2016. I went to Citrus Grove on 22nd Ave. When I picked her up at MIA in 2016, I showed her around Miami and then planned to show her Savannah and Gatlinburg on the way back to Missouri. While in Savannah I took her on one of those tourist trollies, the kind I used to get stuck behind on my way to work…making me late! So after proudly showing off to her my wonderful and former city I asked her what she thought. Her answer was just three words. Too many squares!!! That’s my guajira for you….! Hope to meet you one of these days….

Forgot to mention, we also stayed at Fort McAllister, after being rejected by another place because he did not want truck drivers at his place. As tight as Fort McAllister is, we did it with the larger semi truck and our trailer. Looks like we should have hit that place near the campground too, well next time. Right before you mentioned spending a week, I had said same thing to Barb. Btw, as much as I love downtown Savannah, there is a shorter way from the Ft. to Tybee, although the GPS and Google do not suggest the route we used, it was good. Wormsloe we did not know about, something Barb has wanted to see and yet so close to Sam's Club that we have been at for fuel a few times. Thanks again, this is one of our favorite videos, made us homesick for Savannah.

Robert! Savannah is so hauntingly beautiful. The last time I was there, I had walked by the James Oglethorpe monument statue. The statue is positioned so his back is to St Augustine. St Augustine was Spanish and very Catholic. Later I went back to my hotel room and watched the news. Come to find out His Majesty King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia were visiting St Augustine that day to visit the Castillo de San Marcos. Yes the paddle on the back of the boat needs to spin! LOLOL Stay Well!!

Good to see McAllister State Park again. I was campground host there for 5 months in 2018. A buddy of mine (Dean) was campground host when you were there in May. Nice to see Savannah again, too. I lived there for 6 years before becoming a full-timer. In fact, I took the host opening at McAllister in order to make a slow transition into full-timing.

Possibly my favorite city in the country. I try to make it down there 2, maybe even 3 times a year. My favorite thing is driving down 95 south in the early spring and feeling the air temperature change and smelling that southern spring air.

I've lived outside of Savannah for 19 years. I only go to the Southside when absolutely necessary, but only go towards downtown to visit my daughter. Traffic sucks, parking can be impossible and like all tourist towns, everything is majorly overpriced.

Robert it looked like you had some yellow flies also swarming on you at the fort. They do bite and leave a nasty bite. Love the video. We were in Savanna in June it was awesome.

@cslay06 2 жыл бұрын

Never heard them called 'yellow flies'. . . In Ohio we call them deer flies - at least as good as I could see them in the video . . . same thing perhaps? So, I looked them up. Now I know what a yellow fly is, and it turns out they are related to deer flies and horse flies. Yuck. Yes, they hurt and are a pain in the butt

No visit to Savannah is complete without seeing The Ships of the Sea Museum. Many years ago, it resided in a 3-story building on River Street, and I was always fascinated with the displays. Then it moved to MLK Blvd and they only show a portion of the collection at a time. Very worth browsing through.

We were just there July 5-9, staying at Thousand Trails' Oaks at Point South which is 40 minutes away from the historic district in Savannah and, surprisingly, there were plenty of empty spaces! Planter's Tavern under the Pink House is world-class in ambiance and food rivaling some European places! The menu is exactly the same as the Pink House. Again, surprisingly, there were empty tables (Planter's Tavern does not take reservations unlike the Pink House). Highly Recommended!!

Thanks Robert. We, along with many others who also recommended you go to it knew you would love The Original Crabshack. Next time hit it near night, their lights are something and hopefully you can meet up with the famous Capt. Jack, the owner. We have been there a few times in a semi tractor, no trailer. We also love Sting Ray's in downtown Tybee Island and have slept in the truck at the city parking lot (with official permission) next to the beach, in front of the Tybee Hotel and only a block from Sting Ray's... hint, hint. Parking hint Forry aka 4E was good too and actually use that to get people to pronounce our name correctly, lol. So many places we have yet to make it to, Thank You Steven for the ideas. We never spend enough time in Savannah. Barb has forbid me to drive down along the river, but I will. Many are suprised to find that the downtown (upper level road) is actually an official truck route.

hi Robert. so glad you got to enjoy my hometown. Plant riverside is a wonderful revitalization project on the old Georgia Power Plant. We love sitting on river street in the evenings watching the cargo ships and dolphins. Savannah offers a little bit of something for everyone. The history covers everything from Revolutionary War, pirates, civil war, and even the creation of the song jingle bells. Above the stores in City Market are artist lofts that are free and open to the public. My favorite time to explore the city is fall and early spring when all the flowers are blooming. When you come back check out the Savannah Ogeechee Canal Society. Lots of history and in Fall and Spring beautiful wild flowers bloom including Iris. There's a lovely trail that goes to the river.

You captured the scenery and vibe of the old city spot on! Also, that fly looking bug you called a gnat is actually a horse fly, or yellow fly, as we call them. They bite like hell and laugh at the use of bug spray!😆

Beautiful campground with some interesting hiking trails. Savannah was a beautiful city, loved all the park like squares and the beautiful homes.
