Savannah has been one of my favorite vaction spots. My girlfriend and I have really enjoyed walking around the beautiful parks and just exploring. Bay street is what I would consider the main area of 'historic' Savannah. I would reccommend that as a good starting place for just walking and exploring. River Street, which parrellels Bay Street, is certainly a 'can't miss' area with lots of resturants, gift shops, and home-made goodies. The candy stores give out free samples here and there so you can hit that up for some delicious treats. River Street, as it's name implies, is right on the river so the secenery is great. On the South side of Bay street you'll find lots of really nice parks with beautiful flowers blooming this time of year. It's an awesome place to just sit, chill, and people watch. They have trolley tours available also that will give you basic historical information and show you little odds and ends like where they filmed Forrest Gump and such. Savannah is also the south's 'most haunted city' so there are walking tours that you can take for ghostly site-seeing. Don't be surprised to see some 'ghost hunters' either.

Some places to eat that I recommend would be:

'Wasabi' on MLK Dr. If you like really good sushi at a really great price. Two people can have a nice lunch with soup, salad, beautiful sushi, and a drink for around 20 bucks.

'The Crab Shack' on Tybee Island. Tybee Island is a nice place to visit to catch the beach and for some good seafood. The Crab Shack is easy to find if you just follow the signs. They have fresh seafood that's affordable.

'Wet Willie's on River Street. Oh baby... Wet Willie's drinks are hard to beat. The cool thing about Savannah is that most of the good stuff is in walking distance- including the bars! My girl and I were there on a Monday for kareokee and we were not dissapointed. Hilarious. Plus the WALL of drinks are like Icees for grown-ups. Oh, and get the Chicken Nacos to snack on. Avoid the 'Call-a-Cab' however.

'Gelat-OH!' in City Market. If you've never had Gelato stop in a grab some. They give free samples and small portions if you're just looking to taste.

Avoid Tony Roma's on Bay Street. Not good. Glorified chain resturant.

You might want to consider taking the water taxi over to the Westin. They have a delightful jazz brunch on Sundays.

I just went to Savannah and had a great dinner at Vic's on the River in historic downtown Savannah - lots of fresh seafood with a Southern twist. It's on River Street.

Savannah is a beautiful city - enjoy walking around, and bring a camera!

How about a meal at The Lady & Sons?

;-o
