The Itinerary

Savannah, Georgia's oldest city (1733), has one of America's most beautiful historic centres: 22 squares shaded by Spanish-moss-draped oaks, over 1,000 preserved historic buildings.

Forsyth Park (iconic fountain), River Street (Savannah River waterfront), Bonaventure Cemetery (filming location for "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil"). En route, stops: Madison ("prettiest antebellum village in the South"), Macon (Allman Brothers Museum), Tybee Island (beach). In spring, the Azalea Festival and St. Patrick's Day (Savannah has the world's 2nd-largest parade).
