From there, you descend through thick woods and get through to wooded pasture with small dispersed lakes. The forested pasture leads to the crossing tunnel under U.S. Highway 101 and near Camp Rilea.

Vacation in Savannah
Written by MichaelZ on July 30, 2009 – 2:10 am -Savannah is a lovely city, a great place for romantics and history buffs. Savannah is the oldest and most tenderly preserved city in Georgia. It has long history of Southern charm and hospitality. Its a town of cobble stone roads and elegant mansions with gardens of camellias, azaleas, and roses beneath oak trees draped in Spanish moss. Savannah is a perfect vacation spot for anyone in search of history, warm weather, fun, and something different. To accomodate its guests, the city has many Savannah bed and breakfast hotels to choose from.
To really appreciate its downtown area, enjoy a carriage tour, a ghost tour, or simply walk around. There are dozens of designated points of interest, and you won’t have trouble catching a few stories from the local residents.
The inner city is part of the 1,400 historically and architecturally important buildings making Savannah one of America’s largest urban historic districts. After a day touring Savannah, book a seat on the River Street Riverboat Company’s cruises where you can enjoy live entertainment, dancing and even thematic dinner cruises.
Your Savannah vacation agenda should include some of the following attractions: the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge, the Ships of the Maritime Museum, Skidaway Island State Park. You may also like to see the locations of 68 movie sites on a Savannah Movie Tour or try out one of the Ghost Tours or Haunted tours given each evening.
If you’d like to enjoy the beach, Tybee Island makes for a great day trip. Take a trolley ride, bus, or car ride and spend a few hours basking in the sun. This fun little place will whet your appetite for all things southern, and the pier and pavilion make for great people-watching opportunities. After you’ve had your fill of the beach, it’ll be nice to return to the mainland for an evening of blues or jazz, and you won’t have far to go to return to your Savannah Georgia bed and breakfast or one of the many Savannah Motels.
