Plan My Trip: Savannah and Tybee Island
ByJanelle Nanos
August 28, 2008
As Labor Day weekend approaches, Traveler staffers are fanning across the country for their end-of-summer getaways. IT editor Janelle Nanos has Georgia on her mind.
I’m meeting up with my extended family in Georgia this weekend, splitting my time between Savannah and Tybee Island, so I’m looking for suggestions on what not to miss. What are the best ways to savor the waning summer days down south? Where are the top dining, shopping, or attractions that stand out? (You know I love your restaurant recommendations.) As always, I’ll be bringing my video camera and notebook, and I’m always up for meeting readers, so feel free to email me with your suggestions or leave them in the comments below.
