I really don't want to take much time away from enjoying and relaxing, and I type very slowly, but I wanted to just share a few comments as I go.
When we landed in Savannah last night, after a day of weather delays, we were met with more lines, delays at the Savannah Airport, renting a car. Maybe they were short-handed, but the "new system because it's an unsecured lot" meant standing in long lines, 1 person giving keys for 3 rental car companies (so 3 companies were effected), people standing around waiting for cars because their reserved car wasn't available (DH threatened to go "Jerry Seinfeld" asking "Isn't that supposed to be part of the whole 'reserve' thing?") Then another line once you get whatever you didn't order to get out of the lot. Hopefully, things improve if you're headed to Savannah/DHHIR soon. Fortunately check-in went well, but surprisingly although we're here for 12 days, lots of people stay longer.
Today we ate at Charlie's L'etoile Verte. The atmosphere is the opposite of Sea Shack. I felt a little embarrassed when I used the wrong knife for my butter. There's a note on the menu not to use your cell phone (please). Lots of locals! I'm sure we were the only tourists there. Excellent service and food. It's the sort of place for a celebration-actually there were a couple groups of (what appeared to be local) ladies where they were celebrating birthdays. No kids, though, and just one baby. More when I've got time.
