We still didn't get to see all we wanted to see. TS Fay had something to do with that, but the point is there is so much history in this place that I'm not sure you could do it all in a week. We are already discussing a return visit. If you can afford it, stay in the historical district on Bay Street. Otherwise, you'll be shuttling back and forth, and there is so much to do in the evenings, unlike a lot of places I've visited where they seem to roll up the carpet at 5 when everyone goes home. Not New Orleans, but the night life can be just as fun. We did 2 different ghost tours and a dinner cruise and had a blast. Don't take the dinner cruise for the food, eat and get up on the deck for a enjoyable 1 1/2 hours on the water. Our cruise went to Old Fort Jackson before they turned it around. Tybee Island under normal conditions I'm sure would have been fun, but with TS Fay rolling in the only ones having fun where the surfers. We changed to dry cloths about 3 times in about 6 hours. Had planned to stay another night but decided to head back to the ATL before the bulk of the rain hit. Turned out being good move. I-16 to Macon looks like it's guiding Fay to the west. Feel free to email me questions and I'll answer best I can. We took over a 1,000 pics in those 5 days and saw alot and did alot! Just returned from 5 days/4 nights in Savannah & Tybee Island.
