Savannah - March 18, 2010
Have been in Hilton Head, SC, since Saturday. Love the beach (even though a plane crashed on the beach and killed a guy who was jogging right next door to our condo), but the island itself is a bit laid back for me. I'm not looking for spring break, God help me, but at least some options would be nice. The bars all close by 10 -- guess everyone has to get up for those early tee times. Do not like southern men at all -- they actually make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Good old boys or arrogant assholes -- feel sorry for southern women!
Spent today in Savannah Ga and LOVED it. What an amazing city. It is so beautiful and the people are so much friendlier than they are in Hilton Head. Did a city tour and had dinner at Paula Deen's restaurant, Lady and Sons. It was supposed to be my 20th anniversary celebration there but instead it was my first "un-anniversary" celebration. I can honestly say that I had a much better time than if I had been celebrating the anniversary. I have been laughing for 7 days straight. Constantly. It feels so good. Getting home on Sunday is going to be a rude awakening -- back to reality.
Only real trouble we got into was for being in the condo hot tub, drinking wine and singing Rude Boy and Need You Now. Giddy up! Condo cops were very nice though, lol.
But...I signed the papers for the townhouse on Friday so it's onward and upward. In the shops I have been looking for something small but memorable to buy for my new home. "My" new home! How cool is that???
Tomorrow is our last day here and it's supposed to be absolutely gorgeous. Looking forward to being on the beach all day. Already as brown as a berry.

Sounds lke a great trip. Congrats on the townhouse. When do you get to move in? I should know about my condo soon, I am in the process of buying a cute condo that is only four years old but it is a short sale and it has been going on since November. We are getting closer, we got loan approval from the first loan holder, now waiting on the second. Short sales are awful, especially when the seller has two loans. It is worth the wait.
It will be a rude awakening to come home but you will be all tan and relaxed and ready to get back in the rat race. Hugs.
You just gave me a great laugh for the day. Yes, the Southern men can be a little arrogant. Remember this is a bible belt state and some of them still think women should be kept barefoot and pregnant. Especially the ones you would meet at Hilton Head.
Savannah sounds wonderful. I have a friend who grew up on Tybee Island. I really should start exploring the area I live in. Maybe next year I will have the time.
Now when you get home you can start making plans for your new home. ((HUGS))
WEll Miss Brown berry,
Glad you are enjoying yourself in the sun! Sounds just what the Doc ordered. The condo plans are very exciting, and it will be a fresh milieu, with brand new space, and brand new memories waiting to be made.
Sounds awesome. I\'m really glad that you made the opportunity for R&R! You deserve it! Did ya find something sweet for your new condo home???
Not yet. want it to be perfect.
Nothing like a walk on the beach to set your head straight! I know what you mean about southern men!
Hey J,
Hope you had a great time, I know you did and that is what you needed most.
Peace
