Elizabeth Flanders opted to spend her most recent birthday in Savannah. The one-hour trip from nearby Statesboro was a parents’ getaway, a low-key day of fun and relaxation in one of America’s most enchanting cities. Mother Nature cooperated with her plans.

Tubby’s Tank House was the venue for her birthday celebration, and Tubby sent over a dessert on the house. “Savannah is a romantic place for

Factory. Our son likes to watch the boats, and Rebecca loves to look through the shops, and, of course, they both adore the sweet shops. I prefer Savannah Sweets, particularly their caramel apples with nuts.” Elizabeth pointed out that she and


Jeffrey chose to join Vacation Station for the convenience of having a person to talk with about their vacation needs. She added that membership includes many other privileges. “We love to cruise, and Vacation Sta- tion offers many good deals,” she said. “We can offer our friends and family discounted trips and get paid to travel. We look forward to using our member- ship during our retirement years, which are still some 15 years away. In the meantime, we plan to take a few week- end trips and a couple of cruises.”
