The top mid-sized cities were St. Petersburg, FL; New Orleans; Alexandria, VA; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Buffalo, NY.

Riverboat Cruises

Published by Tybee Concierge under Activities, African American Travel, Food/Produce, Historic Savannah, Kids and Families, Where to Eat

For a wonderful outing take a ride on a Riverboat steamboat. The boat offers a myriad of cruises, from sightseeing up and down the Savannah River, to gospel dinners, to moonlight cruises, to entertainment dinner cruises, to lunch cruises, to Geeche dinners and “Murder Afloat” cruises.

A specialty cruise is the Cullah Geechee Performance cruise. Get a taste of the lowcountry living as you learn about how the Gullah Geechee people adapted to the sea island areas of Georgia and South Caroline after they journeyed here from West Africa. Enjoy a performance by Patt Gunn, a “daughter of the dust” of the coast of Ga. She is considered one of 14 “Waterway guardians” who are the memory keepers of the Gullah Gerechee folkways and foodways.  These will take plance Thursday nights, May 20-August 12.

Another specialty cruise is the Haunted Harbour Cruise. This is a spooky and fun tour of one of the most haunted rivers in North America. The Ghost Host will introduce you to several of his closest dearly-departed friends. There is no gore and the ghostly characters are friendly and fun. Friday nights: June through August. Boards at 9:00 pm.

For reservations or more information on any of these or other cruises call 912.232.6404 or 1.800.786.6404 or go to www.savannahriverboat.com.

Think Before you Toss

Published by Tybee Concierge under Attractions, Ecotourism, Educational Activities, Green Travel

Recently I visited the UGA Marine Science Center on Skidaway Island. It’s a great little gem, worth a visit especially if children are with you. They have a wonderful set of aquariums, featuring over 200 animals that represent 50 species native to Georgia’s coastal waters, where you can see and study marine life up close and personal, and they have a touch tank where guests can pick up and touch marine animals.  Their displays include a nurse shark, a loggerhead sea turtle and seahorses. They are located on the Intercoastal Waterway, and you can bring a picnic lunch and sit at the picnic tables and lull away an afternoon watching the water. Birds land a take off there, so if you are a bird watcher, it’s great, for that as well. I sat under a pear tree, enjoying the breeze and reading a book while I waited for my group. They do special programs for groups using microscopes, marsh walks and films to illustrate marine life and to teach guests about environmental issues; I was the tour leader for one of those groups.

They have a myriad of posters that are FREE, some of which make wonderful works of art, if framed (Georgia’s Salt Marsh Official Habitat). Some are great for kids rooms (Marine Fishes of Georgia), and they have a great map of the Coast of Georgia. We framed the latter and have it hanging in our rental unit—it always gets interesting comments. We also have a framed copy hanging in the Concierge’s office at Tybee Vacation Rentals.

One particular poster caught my eye.  It was titled “Marine Debris from Land and Sea—In the Environment a Long, Long Time.” I was appalled at the information it provided. It featured a beach and shore, and the shore water had items one might commonly find in the ocean—that is, those things that people toss away–and how long it took for those things to break down.

Did you know that those plastic beverage holders take 400 years to “breakdown” to nothing? Four hundred years!!!!! And people toss these out all of the time. Disposable diapers? Continue Reading »

The Girl Scouts Celebrate 100 Years

Published by Tybee Concierge under Activities, Attractions, Historic Savannah, Kids and Families

On March 12, 1912 Juliette Gordon Low founded the Girl Scouts, and next year will be the 100th birthday of that great group. Ms. Low was born and raised in Savannah and later in life she met Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of Britain’s Boy Scouts. Convinced that all young women should be self-reliant and resourceful, she returned to the United States and assembled 18 girls for the first meeting of the American Girl Guides, renamed the Girl Scouts.

In need of a regular place for the girls together, Low converted the carriage house and stable behind her Lafayette Square mansion into a headquarters, and began organizing camping trips and hiking excursions, and offering classes in astronomy and first aid. That carriage house still stands today, and Continue Reading »
