Thanks for putting up the pictures, Marshall. I was gonna post mine but they are pretty much the same as yours, so I won't bother.
It was very good to see all of you.......Marshall, Manon, Kyle, Pierre.
Yes, lets do it again. We had fun and we're always ready to fly out for food.

Default Another nice lunch at Winder

Flew to Winder to chow down at the Spitfire Grill today and found Scott Will and his beautiful 7A on the ramp.
Great food and visiting and then Scott and I decided we needed a little formation fix. Seems we both had camera's and one thing led to another.
Here's Scott tucked in nicely on the low wing.

Default Trip to Savannah

Hashing around the thoughts of a trip to Savannah. Hints on nice sea food restaurants, bed & breakfasts, hikes, bike trails, wineries......you get the drift

Might as well throw in which airport in the area is the one to go to. Also, might as well toss out any ideas for interesting things to see in the close by surrounding area.

Thanks,

Thanks,
Just did this a week or so ago. Parked at Signature at KSAV, beware there is a steep ramp fee, but part of it might be waived with fuel? Check first.

Get a car, but it is easy to walk around town. Go to Bonaventure cemetery (you have to drive)....skip the ghost tour unless you like that stuff. I thought it was lame. We stayed at the Marshall house, but ample B&B options. Also, multiple chain hotels near the river front, all looked nice and new. Hampton, etc. I'd do that again over the Marshall house, mainly for $$ reasons.

Jekyll Island is also way cool. You could do Savannah in a day, then go there.

Default Maybe a change of plans

After reading that Savannah could be done in a day, and Jekyll Island only something like 15 minutes flight time to the south, maybe a change is in order. For those who have visited the area, your thoughts on this scenario: fly into 09J Jekyll Island, have beach time, looks like great scenary on Jekyll and surrounding area. We are both runners and bicyclists so I'd figure on renting a couple bikes to tour the local area. By flying into 09J, we would be able to fly up to Savannah real quick, spend the day there, then back to Jekyll. Thoughts for you locals??????

Thanks gang,

You need to spend the night in Savannah. Savannah is a wonderfully eclectic town that actually takes some time to appreciate. Savannah is not Disney in the fact that you do need to entertain yourself. Walk the streets and visit the squares during the day, don't forget both of the cemeteries and Forsyth Park. Then walk the streets at night, visiting City Market and the river area. There is no open container law so you can walk the streets with a beer or mixed drink. Wake up and drive over to Cleary's for breakfast.

Jekyll can be done in day, visit the lighthouse, beach and admire some of the old houses.
