Sigh......today is our last day in this gorgeous little city. Both Linda and I have fallen in love with the pace of the place, the architecture, the squares that can be found all over the historic district, the accent (that is definitely a little contagious), the ambience and the fantastic food. We're both so thankful to have had the opportunity to visit this amazing part of America and to have had the bonus of some learning along the way.
We've had a very different day today - a very lazy one and it's been just what the doctor ordered for both of us after our VERY busy week. After seizing the opportunity to sleep in a little this morning we spent the rest of it getting organized and packed for the trip tomorrow as we have to leave the hotel by 4:00 a.m. so our wake up call is set for 3:00 a.m.
Once packed, we made our way to the 'living room' where we waited a few minutes for the dining room (Sunday brunch) to open at noon. Today was different too as the rain was coming down in torrents and the temperature was much cooler than any other day we've been here. We had a leisurely brunch that filled us to capacity so there would just be one meal for us on this day!!
We took our time with brunch and then rolled ourselves back into the living room where we spent the rest of the afternoon just sitting on the couches reading books that required absolutely no comprehension or retention - it was great!
By about 5:00 p.m. the rain had stopped so we took one final stroll around the historic district that has become so familiar for both of us. Our stroll lasted about an hour and gave us an opportunity to bid farewell to this town that has been such a pleasure to visit.
After our walk we hit the couches again and spent the rest of the evening just chatting and lazing around. But, it's 10:00 p.m. now so had better call it a day as that 3:00 wake up will come pretty early! As I said.....it's been a different kind of a day for us and we've thoroughly enjoyed it.
Tomorrow, we'll have breakfast at the airport in Savannah, lunch at the airport in Chicago, and then dinner at the airport in Seattle before we arrive in Kelowna at about 6:00 p.m. (9:00 p.m. Savannah time). It'll be a looonnnngggg day and you've gotta love how cool it is that we're able to have each of our meals tomorrow in a different city across this vast country.
It's been fun to do this blog from Savannah.....hope others enjoy reading it as much as we've enjoyed discovering things to include in it.
Till the next time I'm on a trip that warrants another blog journal.....
