Hello from Savannah, Georgia. We finally got this show on the road !! Last week went by pretty quick, We got all organised to go and watch the shuttle take off and once again we woke up in the middle ofthe night to find they had cancelled it again until July sometime.Bugger !! Only thing was I had booked our Dodge in at Carmax in Orlando to get the key fixed on it under warranty at 8.30am, thought we would do it after watching the launch. so had to get up again about 6.30am to get up and away to be in Orlando by 8.30am. We had to buy a brake box for the Durango , they use them for towing over here. The trailer has brakes on it that get turned on by the truck, ... read more

Well now Savannah is the kind of place it would be easy to settle at if you were looking to do that. Old, quaint, historic atmosphere and culture that you never tire of at all. The way America still ought to be. Naturally the first thing to see is the Forrest Gump Bench. Yes, that movie along with about 100 others was filmed right here. For some reason they took the bench away after filming. Who knows why, there are more than 20 "squares" in the town and they all had benches that would have been just fine. Not really a special bench. A Home Depot purchase and then off to a museum with it. Oh well. Each Square in town is named and it is really what makes the city so beautiful along with ... read more

I took a little trip up to Savannah GA for a good old St. Patty's day celebration. I will go ahead and say this was a beer/ liquor/ wallet damaging weekend that was a good time. I guess the only really bad thing about this trip was the temperature, it was cold the entire time. I was barely prepared with green long sleeved clothes, so i had to settle for wearing green long socks, suspenders, and whatever other item I picked up along the way. We arrived at a the nice hotel in old town, with one bed... we had 4 people per room. We got some good cuddling in over this weekend. I quickly put down a half bottle of Jameson and Meredith gave me my most valuable item of the weekend, a shot ... read more

What a day! We got up super early and had a long drive to the venue for a morning school show. It was the full-length show, but for a few thousand school children. The kids were exhausted from the late night and early morning, and during sound check, I managed another nap on the bleachers. This time, though I was on the bench, rather than the floor, and sort of slipped off a few times. Sidenote: Sarah bought me a post card today that says “Damn right I’m good in bed. I can sleep for days.” The locals along with my crew were commenting today on how versatile I am in my sleeping arrangements- noise, light, a book for a pillow (mostly because the floor was gross)- nothing really phases me when it’s time to nap! ... read more

Last night was lots of fun with lots of sleep to end it off with. I got up this morning, did the routine, and we headed for the venue. Craig called to tell us there was an accident on the freeway, so we’d need more time to take an alternate route. The accident, he later told us, was caused by a bug hitting a pickup. We all thought he was talking about an insect, but he meant a VW. It was super warm yesterday. Ok, it was like 54 yesterday, but much nicer than we’ve been having. Today, my system was shocked to find it a mere 27 degrees outside! But it was really sunny! Today’s venue is a gymatorium- you know, a gym with a stage in it. We were told that the local crew ... read more

We were planning on leaving at 9 this morning, but then realized we had no deadline, so why wake up so early. So we decided to leave at 10 instead. Dana drove the entire 5+ hours to Savannah, GA, and I slept a good portion of it. I also read about a third of my new book! I’m reading “Heavenly Man,” which is about Brother Yun, a Chinese man who has endured persecution for decades, and is still serving faithfully. Pretty phenomenal stuff. We only stopped once, so the drive went pretty quickly- out of North Carolina, through South Carolina, and into Georgia. We checked in and I got some work done, finally. Each of us has our own suite, and I think it is Dana’s first time in one; maybe the nicest hotel she’s stayed ... read more

Greetings from Savannah, Georgia! I spent the last day touring the northern parts of Florida. I started out in the western panhandle, went to Tallahassee, Florida State University, and then across central Florida to Jacksonville and Saint Augustine. For those of you in New Jersey, I hear its quite cold up there. Sorry, it is mid-70s here with a great breeze. So Saint Augustine is the oldest city in America. To be exact, its the oldest continuing city in America. To be more exact, it is the oldest European city in America! There were people living here long before the ships appeared on the horizon. Some people confuse Jamestown, Virginia as the oldest American settlement. It was actually the oldest English settlement. Saint Augustine did not become an English territory until the Treaty of Paris ended ... read more

Sorry this is a day late! I had technical difficulties trying to load the pictures, but it's all worked out now! These past two nights have shown no further ghost activities! Well, probably because I didn't sleep yesterday night (I was too scared haha). However, I slept soundly last night with no interruption. Maybe the Inn is haunted, I don't know, but I would definitely stay there again. It was beautiful and in a great location. The added bonus of possible ghostly encounters makes it all the more appealing to me! So, to start off our day, the weather was wonderful. It was warm with a slight river breeze. We decided to take the little water taxi (which the city provides for free) down to the end of River Walk so we could eat lunch at ... read more

So first and foremost, after I made the entry last night on this travel blog I decided to get some sleep. I didn't fall asleep for an hour or two (until Max was done watching TV and the lights were out). Right when I was about to fall asleep, like the brink of consciousness, my bed began to shake by my feet. It felt as if someone placed their two hands on the bed and was pushing it as if to wake me up. Oh man, I was soooooo scared! I tried to call Max's name, but I couldn't spit the words out---I seriously could not form audible words in my mouth. After about three tries I ended up yelling Max's name and waking him up, telling him about what happened. We ended up not falling ... read more

We have arrived in Savannah, GA! It's pretty cool looking so far. When we got here, we checked into the Planter's Inn on Reynolds Square and had a little cheese and crackers! By the time we got out into the city, it was dark and scary. We walked along the River Walk for a while then ate at the Boar's Head Tavern--it was pretty good. The streets are really old cobblestone and the stairs are soooo steep. Here are a couple pictures! Tomorrow we are going shopping and sight-seeing all around! I should have lots of pictures. ... read more
