Day 82: Tybee Island, Georgia.

Last night when we got back to the campsite, I walked over to the registration office to see if anyone from the Prevost rally had canceled. And wouldn’t you know it, one person did. And exactly one. I walked in at just the right moment too because just before I left the office with my new car tag in hand for another 3 nights, someone called to inquire about the recently sold out campground. Sorry buddy, looks like it’s just us and the buses this weekend.

Day 81: Houses, movies and more food in Savannah.

Our third day in Savannah we thought might be our last. When we checked into the park, there were only 3 nights available. Now that we know that the Prevost rally is coming here for the weekend, we know we would either have to find another place to stay or move on to the next place tomorrow. Unless of course there is a cancellation… We will hold our breath.

Day 80: Forget Paula Deen, go to Mrs. Wilkes.

We got back into town today in Savannah with one mission in mind, we were going to get into Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House Dining Room for lunch. Now that we have a pretty good sense about the city, we felt more comfortable just driving to where we need to go and begin our explorations from there. As we drove by to see how the line was looking, we were surprise to find that it had not reached to the end of the street and best of all, we got to park right in front of the restaurant.

Day 79: First day in Savannah, Georgia.

Our first morning in Skidaway Island State Park we woke up in the campground set in the Georigian forest that is teeming with wildlife. None was more excited than Yoda who stared at them all morning long through the wraparound windows behind the dinette wishing she could prowl like a real cat should. Sorry Yoda, real cats don’t take road trips either.

Day 78: Little Talbot Island State Park.

We spent our second night in a row boondocking in a parking lot. This time at a Walmart in Jacksonville, Florida. We intended to find a truck stop, preferably a Flying J, but they are harder to come by when you are near a big city. And a big city Jacksonville is. In fact it is the largest city in the continental United States in terms of the geographical coverage at over 874 square-miles.
