Savannah has its distinctive style of southern cooking. Much of it is what might be classified as low country cooking. By its definition, low country cooking is associated with the coastal areas of South Carolina and Georgia. Yes, it’s southern cooking, but it has its own character, generally associated with its abundance of seafood mixed…
We knew that we wanted to include a Bonaventure Cemetery tour while visiting Savannah. The Bonaventure Cemetery has over 100 acres and is beautiful, tranquil, and filled with history. It’s actually been named one of the ten most beautiful cemeteries in the world and is filled with Southern Gothic architecture. The Bonaventure Plantation The…
If you hadn’t noticed from previous blogs, we love to eat local food wherever we travel. On this Southern Road Trip, local food ranged from Championship BBQ in Savannah and other cities through various types of what most of the world calls “Southern Cooking.” But, BBQ was a must-do for us, and we were excited…

With so many travel limitations still in place, we decided that maybe we should stay a little closer to home for our fall vacation. So, we planned out a nine-day Southern Road Trip! Ten years ago, we passed through Savannah on our way to Orlando, looking for a home. And, as no one knew we…

Why bother?” Philly Born and Raised So, Chuck is from South Jersey and spent most of their twenties and thirties living…
Relaxing on a beach was top of our Must Do’s for our Sanibel- Captiva – Ft Myers Florida road trip. It was all about getting away and chilling out! One of the things we found was that many of the beaches on Sanibel-Captiva tend to have private access from homes or resorts. And, a good…
