publisher’s note I


rich history is one obvious connection between the two cities, both part of the original 13 colonies established by Great Britain. But there is more to these two coastal treasures than what is found in the history books.


Each year, tens of thousands of visitors traveling


north and south along Interstate 95 stop to visit both cities. Tis was one of the motivations for us to publish


TO LONGER VISITS Dinner Was on Vacation Station


two magazines in one. Savannah Vacation Guide will be helpful for visitors, whether they’re in Savannah or Charleston.


We at Media Services are enthusiastic because no one has ever published a magazine that connects Charleston to Savannah. We hope our publication will introduce you to some of Savannah’s great personalities and events through articles such as Eileen Robinson Smith’s piece on the homegrown and internationally renowned Paula Deen or her interview with Savannah Mayor Otis Johnson.


Whether you’re traveling south or north, we hope you’ll find Savannah Vacation Guide to be your best first


impression of Savannah, Georgia’s coastal treasure. Te magazine is distributed not only along the coast but also in other areas, including Atlanta, that are close enough to Savannah for day trips or long weekends.


Keep us around, and, if you get a chance, drop me an e-mail at Bill@ SavannahVacationGuide.com about the most fun and interesting thing you did during your visit to Savannah.
