Touring the UGA Marine Education Center on Skidaway Island in Savannah.

One of the more historic places in Savannah, the Pirate House offers fine dining in a unique setting. Robert L. Stevenson refers to this house in his book "Treasure Island."

River Street in Savannah, Georgia, offers great dining and shopping opportunities for the traveler. My personal favorite was the Shrimp Factory for dining, but the River House was a close second.

The Ship Museum offers a very nice garden to walk through and a detailed history of Savannah's maritime history. Excellent displays of ship models, paintings, scrimshaw carvings, and mast heads. If you have sea salt in your veins, this is a must stop.

Entrance to Bonaventure Cemetary in Savannah, Georgia.

Bonaventure Cematary features beautiful grounds amonst some of Georgia's most prominent past residents.

Very serene at Bonaventure Cemetary.

This way to John Mercer's gravesite.

A lot of famous folks are in these peaceful settings. John Mercer of Moon River (and others) fame rests here.

One of the newest features on our rig is the addition of a Datastorm Satellite dish that handles both Directv and Direcway (tv and internet). You can see it as the blue lighted arm on top of the motorhome. Installed by Bill and Janet Adams of InternetAnywhere. They did a super job getting the components installed. We met them in Silver Springs, FL, and were very impressed and happy with the service they provided. I recommend them to you if you need a similar setup. They provided a picture that is somewhere on this machine, but I can't figure out where I stored the darn thing.

Smart members taking it easy to enjoy some sun and a little comraderie.

Having sold our home in Thomasville, we are adjusting to the "Full-time" RV lifestyle. One of the ways to get into the swing of things is to join a good club such as the SMART (Special Military Active Retired Travel) Club. We attended our first Muster at the Sugar Mill RV park near Thomasville, GA. Met many new friends and had a good week of fun and food.

Our new rig that we purchased along with a trade of my previous truck and trailer rig. Picked it up while on a trip to Texas in Dec 0f 2004.
