Moved to Tybee Island, GA

Today was moving day. We left Jekyll Island mid-morning. We took the scenic route north on Hwy. 17. About midway through, we ran into rain, the first we have seen in weeks. We thought it would be with us the rest of the day. But by the time that we reached Savannah, it was bright and sunny again.

We are staying on Tybee Island about 15 miles east of Savannah. We are camped at River's End, where the Savannah River enters the Atlantic Ocean. As Mel detached the Jeep, we were attacked by sand fleas. We have been taking vitamin B1 for weeks in preparation and the fleas seemed to bounce off us. I was bit near the eye but escaped further harm. Mel was not affected. Once the car was parked, I made a run for the RV, while Mel continued the RV set up. When he came in, he called me into the bathroom. He had combed his hair and dead fleas had fallen into the sink. I quickly combed mine but only two dead fleas were found. Yuck, I hate nature--sometimes.

After we rested up, we took a drive around the island in search of dinner. We found the Tybee Island Lighthouse, pictured above, but found no where to eat as nothing looked too appetizing. So, we ended up driving half way to Savannah, where we found an Applebees. We were glad to find something simple and familiar. When dinner was over, we saw a car wash so we wheeled in there so Mel could wash down the Jeep. The little rain storm earlier in the day had left the Jeep filthy with road dirt and salt. The Jeep was smiling when we left the car wash.
