Now in Savannah

The drive to Savannah was pretty much uneventful with one exception - the GPS had plotted a course that would avoid going onto Route 95 (which is generally horrid when snowbirds are leaving Florida) so when I went cruising by the turn at 80MPH off from Route 10 eastbound to catch that new route it was a little upsetting - especially considering one of the witches had done 95 on Saturday and she said it was a slow moving parking lot.
Just catch the next exit and go back - right? Wrong - the next exit turned out to be about 15 miles away which would have meant a 30 mile detour - instead we decided (I did) to give 95 a try and hope for the best.
It was practically empty - we slowed to 65 once but the rest of the time were being run over when we were only doing 80. So we made it to Savannah with time to spare.
As we were driving around Jacksonville however, the thermometer in the van registered 91 degrees - it has now settled back to a svelte 84.
We had also expected to have a tough time finding a place to bed for a couple days but the first place we tried (AMERICA'S BEST VALUE) not only had rooms but at a reasonable price.
So now we play in Savannah tomorrow (perhaps tonight also) and then on to Crofton on Tuesday.
