So this was an interesting weekend. It might have involved the Coast Guard, a helicopter, and needing to be rescued, but that was the day before this was taken.

To try to salvage what was left of this trip, I had heard of a cypress swamp near Savannah. We ended up kayaking around this beautiful swamp and looking up at these mammoth trees with their roots totally exposed. The entire trip is about 8 miles, but where this was taken is a nice small paddle if you are interested.

Cambria Hotel Savannah Downtown Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at the Cambria Hotel Historic Savannah was wonderful. I opted to use vallet parking, as it was more convient to hand my car over rather than finding parking in the dark and by myself. While breakfast was an option, I didn't eat breakfast at the hotel. The bar was good. Excellent service. The most fun part of my stay was trying to figure out how to close the blinds. I have never ever been in a hotel that had a remote control to lower and raise the blinds. I'm sure the hotel staff got a good laugh. The room was comfortable, both for sleeping and for lounging. It was wonderful to be able to afford Historic Savannah (took kid back to SCAD) instead of staying in my usual spot of Pooler. "
