We're back from Georgia on March 21st 2008.....

We arrived back from Georgia on March 21st, having attended The Rally in Perry Ga, visiting with relatives in Norcross Ga (Atlanta suburbs) and spending some time in the Savannah area. We've visited sites of gold mines, Air Force museums and everything in between and we're toured out! It's nice to be home to Preston - no No-See-Um's or Chiggers here :). Click the title link for a photo album link from this wonderful pre-spring vacation.

There is ONE thing we did, prior to our trip, that made a huge difference (for the better) on this jaunt South. Having learned the hard way last year trying to navigate around places like Ocala Fla, we purchased a GPS for the motor home-towed vehicle, a Tom Tom, and it saved our bacon more then once. The technology has improved dramatically on these devices as has the afford ability ...we can't recommend it enough!

We're now in Hardeeville, SC just outside of Savannah Ga...

We arrived here in Hardeeville SC at the Hardeeville RV campground (just outside of Savannah, Ga) on Sunday. There were some equipment problems that needed shakeout, the main issue being a water leak. There was good power at The Rally in Perry, but no water hookups so we ended up leaving a day early once we ran out of water. Here in Hardeeville we lucked on a great mobile repair facility (Lowcountry RV) that fixed our water leak, a mal-functioning electric entrance step and several other minor problems, all very reasonably. Yesterday we spent some time on River St in Savannah, and are going back downtown this morning for a tour. The weather here is very Spring like in the 70's and it would be very easy to get used to!!
