Savannah: Charming Southern City

I didn’t like Savannah the first time. It was hot. I was sweaty. I didn’t know what to do there… Now I know what to do in Savannah… You wander. You soak up slow Southern life. And I like it. ❤️ 🔹Live oak trees draped in Spanish moss 🔹22 tree-lined squares and fountains 🔹Historic churches and elegant houses… and tons of gourmet food. We did these well. In the rain.☔️🌧️ If you research Savannah, it has a high crime rate. However, the concierge at our hotel had no safety concerns at night at all when I asked and told me to wander without worries. I didn’t know about the crime rate until afterward. 😁 But even away from touristy areas, I didn’t feel unsafe in Savannah. The Historic District allows open containers of alcohol… but I still didn’t see any rowdiness. The few homeless people we saw didn’t make me uncomfortable. I honestly felt safe the entire time unlike our DC nighttime walks. Of note: we weren’t out late. Boring people here. 🙋‍♀️ 🚍Savannah does have a free trolley system, but we didn’t use it this time. Enjoy Savannah. 🔹Grab a map of tourist sites. 🔹Make a loose itinerary. 🔹Leave your car at the hotel. ( @hyattregencysavannah ) 🔹Leave your big bags at the hotel and don’t give pick pockets the temptation. 🔹Put on your good walking shoes. 🔹And go explore this Southern city. 😉Bring a raincoat and umbrella just in case. 😁Bonus tip: Leggings on rainy days. Means no sopping wet jeans for this girl anymore! ⁉️Are you team Savannah or Charleston? Despite all this, I think I’m still team Charleston, but I’m willing to keep testing both out. 😉 👉Because I’m a giver. 😁 . . . . . .
