T Minus 24 Days to Tybee

It's just 24 days to our Tybee Excursion and I hope everyone is gearing up. I sent out an email to everyone today and hope you'll post your suggestions for Tybee fun here. Looking forward to seeing everyone and being waited on hand and foot - oh, I mean, did I say that out loud?


But really, two creams, two sugars in that coffee with the chocolate glazed chocolate cake doughnut if you please. Extra parm on the cheese pizza and a sparkling fresh genuine Coke will do. Oh, and can I have another pillow?

woo-woo, here we come . . . Tybee is very low key, laid-back . . . I suck at fishing but I might bring a cheapo surf-casting set-up . . . and a fat-tire bike - at low tide you can bike all the way down to the shipping channel - also want to tour Bonaventure Cemetery - Margaret Mary used to give us reports of her visits - will also bring Ewing artifacts - we can go over LM's ledgers from 1886 and see who still owes us money up in Bluff City . . .

We are really looking forward to seeing everyone. (Well, except Andy, who may be too busy waiting on Laura, but I will certainly drink a beer to him!) :-)
BTW, I contacted the guy that runs the the Tybee Shuttle

.. and asked about renting his services if we wanted to go somewhere en masse without a zillion cars. Sounds like a great guy. I said, frinstance if we wanted to hire him for a 3-4 hr period to run us into Savannah, to the cemetary, then on a self-guided tour, maybe to Price Street, Aunt Nelly and Mamie's, Papa's office by Tomacheechee's rock, etc, etc and back to Tybee. He said it's $100 hr but for 4 hrs he'd probably just charge us for 3 hrs. Might be nice to visit as we ride, I thought.
He said he can take 22-23 folks, especially if there are some kids.
He is booked up in the late afternoons and evenings, but a Friday or Saturday morning might work out.
He is the web publisher for most of the Tybee sites and knows a lot, too. Like where to get a bushel of steamed crabs (hint, hint) for dinner one night :-) I also asked him if the Hot Rod show that weekend would be a huge deal for traffic and parking, restaurants, etc. and he said it would not, nothing like the Pirate's thing the weekend before we are there, or Tybee Birthday, the weekend after.
