For the second year in a row, The Hostess City of Savannah and The Holy City of Charleston have been named two of the Top Ten North American Destination City’s to visit in Travel and Leisure’s 2009 August publication. In spite of a bad economy, tourism travel continue to surge here in the Low Country, as international and National travelers join the many regional travelers to these two Historic Sister Cities. Both Cities moved up two slots each in 2009 over 2008.
Travel Editors continue to write of the history and beauty here in the lowcountry and why it is these two cities just a few hours apart remain so popular for savvy travelers. In his recent online article about both Charleston and Savannah, Southern road tripper Gary Aldrich gives coastal Savannah two thumbs up in his partially excerpted article below.
“Gary Aldrich, gave Savannah 5 stars, praising, [A wonderful Old-South getaway! I went with my best friend during a period of intense professional stress and by the end of our few days there, I was relaxed enough to return to work. The restaurants are wonderful, and the charming old houses and well-kept park squares are unlike anything else in the country. Being on a river and near the coast keeps it very mild, even in winter. Coastal Georgia is indeed a wonderful winter respite. I highly recommend it, especially when others are in such a mad rush to get to Florida!] His top picks were Comfort Suites Historic District, Old Pink House Restaurant, and the Squares of Savannah in the Historic District.”
With Labor Day coming up fast and the high season of fall and all of her fresh seafood bounty made available in the fall high season, come to the low country for your own customized weekend delight.
