Tybee Island and Savannah Murder Tour
R wasn’t feeling hungry this morning so I ate breakfast at the Turbine Market & Café which is part of the hotel. I ordered scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast and, honestly, was slightly disappointed.

Savannah – exploring the city
My original plan for today has been thrown out the window. Whomp, whomp. We were planning to go to Tybee Island but there is a storm brewing just off the coast and there will be pouring rain and gale force winds all day. This weather is uncharacteristic for Savannah this time of year, as are…
