Hey squatties, welcome to this week’s Just the Tip.

Today you have me, Brittany, and Jamal as your host.

And today we are taking you to Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, SC.

0:51

We stayed three nights at a luxurious townhome within Palmetto Bluff, which is an exclusive 20,000 acre luxury community that sits along the May River in South Carolina’s beautiful Low Country.

And the Low Country, if you aren’t familiar with that, is basically a terminology for the southern region of South Carolina that sits along the ocean and by the border with Georgia.

1:17

And this is very close to the popular beach destination of Hilton Head.

The community is known for its stunning natural scenery, charming neighborhoods, and miles of trails winding beneath towering live oaks draped in southern Spanish Moss that really give you that southern charm.

1:33

Yeah, it definitely has some southern charm and Lowcountry is known for its Gola tradition, southern hospitality and a laid back lifestyle because you’re on the coast, essentially.

But the reason why we did this visit was because my sister tonight, I’ve talked about her before, she won a fundraising contest at work and she won a week long stay at an amazing property in the Palmetto Bluff neighborhood.

1:58

There was a lot that the neighborhood offered and it was a really great base for day trips.

So we went to Savannah, Hilton Head and Defuskey Island as some of the day trips when we were on this trip.

So let’s talk about some tips for visiting.

2:14

One of the best times or some of the best times to visit actually, is going to be March through May and September through November.

Unfortunately, our schedule dictated that we had to visit in July.

And Brittany, why don’t you tell the squaddies why we give those months as some of the more optimal times to visit?

2:32

Yeah, These months, March through May and September through November, are more comfortable temperatures, lower humidity and ideal weather for exploring the beaches, historic towns and outdoor activities.

We went in summer and in summer it is very hot and humid and they’re known to have afternoon thunderstorms.

2:51

But this is also peak beach season, so it’s like a give and take.

Yeah, it goes hand in hand.

If you go during summer, you just have to expect the humidity.

And my goodness, does the humidity really hit out there Like you feel it.

But nevertheless, we still had a good time.

But if you’re looking for a more optimal temperature and less humidity, those times that we mentioned are some of the best to go.

3:13

Now do keep in mind, Atlantic hurricane season runs June through November, so I know that kind of overlaps with that better time of September through November that we gave, but it’s just something that occurs in that region of the world, right?

And in the US, hurricanes do happen, but you run that risk.

3:31

So just plan accordingly.

But if you are staying in Palmetto Bluff, what a great place to get trapped down in a hurricane because it is a really nice community and all the homes that you can rent out there are just luxurious.

So what a great place.

God forbid something were to happen while you’re there.

I guess it’s a way to look at it, but if you do visit in summer because that is peak beach season, make sure to stay hydrated.

3:50

Pack sunscreen and sun protection items because it does get really hot and you might feel very drained if you aren’t keeping up with your hydration by the end of the day.

The sun always takes it out of me.

Another really good tip is pack bug spray.

Bugs are no joke out here.

There’s lots of mosquitoes.

4:06

They even have a certain type of fly that actually will bite you.

So you do want to have bug spray.

Brittany discovered a new tool out here that I think she wants to give a tip on that you should bring just as well, and she swears by this now in the week since she’s discovered it.

4:22

Yeah, I’m going to link it in the show notes.

But my mom and sister, they were talking about the bites that they had.

They got there a day before we did.

And so they got bit by a mosquito and fly.

And so my mom pulls out this like little stick.

And my sister was like, yeah, let’s use the bug zapper.

4:37

And I was like, what is it?

Basically it’s this little device and it has two heat settings or high depending on your heat tolerance, and you put it directly on the bite and it uses like a blue light heat system therapy to help break up the saliva of the bug and the irritants.

4:54

And so it makes it so your bites don’t itch as much, so you’re not scratching them and potentially getting them infected or for them to get worse.

Yeah.

And I was like, what?

So anyways, I tried it, loved it.

Bought 1 immediately when we got home.

I don’t think it’s pseudoscience, right?

You could think that could be placebo, but apparently if you Google and research into this, there is scientific evidence to say it works.

5:15

So maybe get one of those if you would like, but also be sure to pack your bug spray.

And the last and final tip that we have for you guys is watch out for alligators.

They are out and about in this area and within the community of Palmetto Bluff where we were, there’s lots of little ponds, creeks, etcetera, and they are there.

5:35

You can see them.

They are prominent and they do come on to land as well.

So not anything to be scared of, of course, just be mindful of it.

But do not go swimming in any of these bodies of water right until we get to the ocean.

That’s when you can swim.

But here in these spots, do not swim.

5:51

There are Gators galore.

One of the ponds we were staying right in front of the place that we were staying at was directly across from the pond.

And I want to say it’s called like the kayak dock or pond.

I was like, I would not be kayaking in these waters at all whatsoever.

Well people are kayaking and you got be good and know what you do so you don’t accidentally tip over.

6:09

So I’m not saying don’t get on the water, I’m just saying don’t swim in.

The water, definitely.

But let’s talk about our first day.

So we flew from San Diego and we flew actually into Savannah and we picked up a rental car while we were there because Palmetto Bluff is about 45 minutes away from the Savannah Hilton Head Airport.

6:30

Once we got into Savannah, it’s one of our favorite cities that we visited in the past and we haven’t been back since the one time before, but we really loved it on the visit we did have previously.

So we said, you know what, we’re already in Savannah.

Let’s check out a few things before we make it over to Palmetto Bluff.

6:46

Yeah.

And just in case you are unaware and don’t know, a Savannah is in Georgia.

So we went to South Carolina, but Savannah is right on the border with South Carolina.

You just have to cross a bridge and a river and there you are.

And as Brittany said in the name, it’s the Savannah Hilton Head airport.

7:04

Hilton Head is in South Carolina, so this is the airport to get you to both states it within this vicinity.

So you would want to fly there.

But I really enjoyed just going back for the little bit once we landed doing what we did.

Going back to Forsyth Park, which is a very famous park.

7:22

You have the trees with the Spanish Moss.

You just really get that Southern feel.

It has the famous fountain.

But we knew we wanted to go eat at a restaurant that we really loved down by the river and waterfront, which was called Vicks on the River.

And you can go back to our old Savannah episode and listen to it, hear all about it.

7:40

But we remember loving the fried green tomatoes and all the food that we had there for that matter.

But we were like, we’re going to be back in the South.

We want some fried green tomatoes.

And they did not disappoint.

The quality control has stayed prime time and yeah, really, really good.

And also, I mean, I’m sure we mentioned this in the past, but the biscuits, they were so warm, so fresh.

8:03

They were moist and they were served with a soft honey butter and wow they were so good.

Nothing beats a southern biscuit made from scratch that’s soft, fluffy and warm.

And they were delicious here at Vick’s on the River.

So if you go to Savannah, we highly recommend you check out this restaurant.

8:20

But after we ate and went to Forsyth Park, we arrived a little bit later.

And of course, coming from the West Coast, losing time going to the East Coast, we drove the 45 minutes to Palmetto Bluff.

It’s beautiful From the minute you enter the community, you know, you cross the river from Georgia into South Carolina.

8:39

It’s kind of a developed area, but not too developed.

And then you go off of this little side highway road and then there’s the gated community.

But the gate is so far from where all of the homes and things within the community are in there deep.

So most of the I will not most of the 45 minutes, but I would wager to say 15 minutes of this 45 minutes is driving from the community gate into where we were actually staying.

9:04

Finally, where they have the developments within the gated community.

Yeah, and it’s so beautiful when you are driving through, the streets are lined with like these huge oak trees, a Spanish Moss is dripping down.

You are passing ponds filled with birds, alligators, fish.

9:20

They have walking, jogging, biking and golf carts, trails and they even have like a restaurant within the community or several restaurants, coffee shops, gyms, pools and other amenities.

Yeah, and a lot of people, of course, do live here, but lots of people rent these out as vacation homes or they are the second homes.

9:39

But what’s really unique about this community is, yes, people may be their second home and they don’t rent it out or their primary residence.

But this community was built as a hybrid, of course, for tourists and visitors.

So they do have those restaurants, coffee shops and things within their is a golf course just as well.

9:56

But one of the main modes of transportation within the community is either biking or actually having a golf cart.

And lots of people who live in the community have their own golf carts.

And the place that we stayed had one too, so we could just drive around the community versus using a car.

10:12

And this is a very exclusive neighborhood.

When I looked it up, it said that it was one of like 3 very, very exclusive neighborhoods in South Carolina.

And we stayed in a townhome.

And when you think townhome, you might, might think of anything like super grand and there’s only.

So this is what I read.

10:28

I’m not, I didn’t confirm but I read that there was only 8 townhomes in this community.

But we walked into this quote UN quote townhome and it was a 3000 square foot four story property with four bedrooms. 2 of them are master bedrooms, has five bathrooms, and it even has an elevator going down from the garage level floor all the way up to the 4th floor if you need.

10:50

It has a beautiful, beautiful screen in front porch, a fourth floor deck, entertaining space, and a bar.

So I mean, if that’s one of the smaller ones because there’s only so few townhomes and the rest are actually homes, you can just imagine the luxury of this community.

11:07

But when you say there were two master bedrooms, Brittany, I want to say, yes, you are very correct. 2 masters in the sense that they had an ensuite living space and everything, but even the other bedrooms had full baths inside of it, right?

But just two of them were masters in terms of their size and ensuite and the luxurious added tub versus just a power, etcetera.

11:29

So a really amazing place.

And we say this all the time when we travel, like, oh, could we live here?

Being in this house has really, really inspired me to almost be like, man, I, I, you know, I need to strive to get something like this in my life because it was just a beautiful home and I loved it.

11:47

So the property that we were in, they also had a golf cart that we were able to use and it was a six seat golf cart.

So once we got in and got settled, we actually hopped in and we headed to Chapel Dock, which is a dock behind the Community Church that sits along the May River and there’s an estuary there.

12:06

And we actually were able to see dolphins from the deck we were on.

Yeah.

So again, when you think South Carolina, and we’re talking earlier about Gators and ponds and swamps, which they have and, and when I say that, I don’t say it in a negative way, right?

You got to realize in this area too, of course, you have the rivers and estuaries.

12:25

So the rivers and estuaries are salt water and the dolphins come in.

So Brittany’s sister, mom and our nephew ended up getting in the day before and they sent us photos saying, hey, we already saw dolphins.

They showed us the photos of the dolphins.

So our nephew, who’s 8 years old, he’s still really wanted to show us the dolphins.

12:43

So we rode the golf cart all the way to the dock and estuary and they come pretty close to the dock.

And it’s, it never gets tiring seeing wildlife, let alone dolphins.

And you see, I don’t want to say like a full blown pot, but there was at least like 6-7 out there and they would come up, go back down.

13:01

It’s just fun to watch and a great way for us to have seen the sunset and twilight along the water.

And you don’t really equate South Carolina with dolphins, or at least I don’t.

But we actually saw quite a few dolphins during this trip.

So we just headed back after we saw the dolphins.

13:18

We relaxed and just hung out with my family and then we got ready for day 2 which my niece flew in this day.

So day 2 when we woke up I really wanted to go for a bike ride, especially before it got hot.

Well first thing I did was make my coffee and sit out on the covered porch and just enjoy the atmosphere because we’re looking straight across to the pond.

13:42

There was, AI don’t want to call it a visitor center, but the the gym and Community Center for the area.

Palmetto Bluff where we’re staying was not too far off.

So it was just beautiful scenery.

Enjoyed my coffee.

But I told Brittany, let’s wake up early, go for a bike ride.

There happened to be electric bikes in the garage that we were able to use.

14:01

So we got to take those bikes, just ride around the community, see more of it that we hadn’t seen, and just really appreciate all these multimillion dollar properties, beautiful ponds, birds, Gators, and just the natural, beautiful scenery of this area of South Carolina with the beautiful homes strewn in between.

14:22

I mean, I wouldn’t even call them homes.

These are estates, you know, These are huge multimillion dollar properties.

Every single one was beautiful, completely beautiful, and it was just nice strolling or biking through the neighborhood I should say.

And we biked probably about, I don’t know, 3 miles, 5 miles, something in that range.

14:42

We were using electric bikes so we weren’t even working out hard, but we got sweaty because it was just so humid outside.

It was already like almost 90° at 10:00 AM, but we waited for my niece to fly in.

She got in around noon ish and then we asked her because she actually took a red eye in if she was was going to come out for the day or if she was going to nap and she said she was going to nap.

15:05

So we loaded up the car and we did a day trip to Hilton Head.

Yeah, and Hilton Head is 1 of this region’s most popular beach destination.

It’s known for its 12 miles of sandy shoreline.

They have championship golf courses in this area.

15:22

You could do scenic bike paths and just has that laid back Atlantic coastal charm.

We went to the beach, but you could also do a bunch of other water activities like you can kayak, do a dolphin cruise, paddle board, or you can rent a boat on the water.

And we went to Coligny Beach Park, which is one of Hilton Heads most popular public beaches.

15:42

And it’s really just a perfect way to spend a day relaxing on the coast.

The beach is really, really wide and deep and it’s a really nice sandy beach.

It’s good for sunbathing, swimming or beach walks, and so it was a hot, humid day, so there’s no better way to relax by getting in the water.

16:01

And the water was nice and warm and that’s the only way I can get Jamal in anyways.

And he loved it.

Yeah, I don’t like getting into cold water.

This water was warm, and not just warm, it was actually quite warm, but not too warm to say, Oh my gosh, it’s hot outside.

This is warm water.

I don’t want to get in.

16:16

I definitely got in, but it was a very nice temperature and what I really liked about this area at Caligny Beach Park is they have obviously a designated parking lot because this is such a popular area with literally thousands of people on the beach.

16:32

That’s no exaggeration free parking lot.

You know lots of places I could imagine around that have a designated parking lot for popular tourist beach destination with charge to park.

It was free.

So I really appreciated that.

Also here you do have good clean restrooms that were available, outdoor showers, they even had changing rooms that were available for you.

16:53

So they really do it U so to speak, in terms of making your beach experience a lot more fun, enjoyable and easy.

Yeah, so we probably spent one to two hours on the beach swimming in the water.

My nephew loves the beach and getting in the water, so we had a lot of fun just going out and watching him.

17:12

I felt something beneath my feet, like, and it felt like a Little Rock.

So I picked it up with my toes and it was actually a hermit crab.

It was super cute.

So apparently there are hermit crabs in the water here, but it was just a nice beach day.

Yeah.

And so after that, then we headed back to Palmetto Bluff and the townhouse in which we were staying, met back up with our niece, and we just relaxed and enjoyed ourselves within the comfort of the AC, which I really appreciated.

17:41

But it was nice to just sit, relax, watch movies, pop some popcorn.

Nothing like good family time in a nice place.

So that’s what we did to just round out the night.

But you didn’t mention we went back to see the dolphins again so that we could show my niece.

Yes, we did that as well.

17:56

Yeah, thank you for reminding me.

We did do that.

And they actually did come pretty close, like I feel like they were closer this night than the night before.

So it was really cool to see them all.

And we got to watch them for a little bit longer because we didn’t go as close to sunset.

But we had talked about the beach a little bit and we didn’t do this, but there is a little Plaza at the beach and I didn’t even really see it.

18:18

But apparently there’s a whole bunch of shops, restaurants, ice cream spots, and cafes right near the beach area in the Caligny Plaza, so if you happen to be in that area, definitely check it out.

So day three, we took a day trip to an island in the area called the Fusky Island, which is a secluded barrier island that’s tucked between Hilton Head and Savannah.

18:43

And it really feels like you’re stepping back in time.

When you go to this island, it’s accessible only by ferry or private boat, so there are no roads or bridges that lead to it.

You do have to take a ferry or private boat at The island is known for its quiet beaches, rich Gola history, Moss draped oak trees and a lot of unpaved roads were.

19:06

Quite honestly, golf carts are the primary mode of transportation on this island.

Yes, they are.

So we ended up booking a ferry with Island Head from Hilton Head.

You can also book from Savannah as well.

And I also heard that if you didn’t have a car or if you wanted to do this for whatever reason, you could go from Hilton Head to Defuskey and then go to Savannah all by boat versus driving from Hilton Head to Savannah.

19:36

So I thought that was interesting.

But anyways, a round trip ticket from Hilton Head with Island Head was about $55 a person when we booked.

And then we decided to add on a six person golf cart.

They also have options for four person golf carts and they have three set departure times and return times.

19:55

I know with my family that we’re not going to be out the door first thing in the morning like Jamal and I would normally be, so I ended up choosing for us to do the 11 AM departure time and it would get us back by 6:00.

Yeah.

And so when we were loading on the ferry initially, we saw a dolphin that was quite honestly being a beggar.

20:17

I was looking at another boat who was fishing.

He knew we had fish and its head was just poking out of the water looking at the person, hoping it would give him some fish.

Not really swimming, but just sitting there kind of bobbing up and down, which was actually pretty cool.

We were really close to it and as we were sailing to the island, we saw a lot more dolphins.

20:35

It was really cool because island had again, the boat company that we took out.

They would stop so that we could watch and enjoy the dolphins and see them if we came across a pod or a solo dolphin.

So it made our 45 minute boat ride more enjoyable.

20:50

Seen the scenery but it’s still really nice to just sail the water and these estuary waterways.

And they also had drinks available for purchase on board, so if you wanted to start drinking before you got to the island, you could do so aboard the ship.

And then once we got to the island, we got to our golf cart and we spent the day exploring historic landmarks and browsing local art galleries.

21:12

There’s only about 200 people that live on the island.

And we learned on the boat ride that they actually have a $40,000 HOA fee because living on this island comes with a private ferry to get you back to mainland.

Right.

So all their supplies that they need to bring in, food, everything just again, because they have no cars, has to come in on this private ferry.

21:33

So because of that, the 200 people that live in the exclusive area on this island, which is obviously gated off from any of the visitors from visiting, have that high HOA.

But the highlight of our island visit was swimming at Bloody Point Beach.

21:50

We really enjoyed doing this, much like the beach in Hilton Head, but a a lot less crowded because of course, not everybody’s coming to this island.

You have to get here by boat, right?

So it was a really nice beach that felt really secluded for us.

But what was interesting about this island is they have a cemetery where some people were buried back to the 1700s.

22:12

So as a storied history, they have a famous African American church that has its history off of the freed slaves that were on the island.

Because at one point, of course, South Carolina was a slave state.

So during the Civil War, apparently when the Union came in, people who lived in this area abandoned and they left their slaves.

22:32

So then now they have their church.

And that’s a history during those times, which I thought was really interesting, really cool.

Then you can go and see historical sites like an old school that they have there.

So as nice as the island itself is, it’s sprinkled with a little bit of history for you.

22:48

Yeah, and once we were done exploring the historic landmarks and going to the beach, we spent a few hours at the beach there too.

It was really nice.

The water wasn’t as warm as it was in Hilton Head.

I don’t know if it was because it was a little cooler, just because of the location, but it was still really nice and enjoyable nonetheless.

23:06

And then we went to go grab some food at the old Defuskey Crab Company for an early dinner.

We got some tacos and a fish sandwich.

I want to say they had a band playing and we just did that and relax before heading onto the ferry back.

23:22

Yeah, and I would say this area here where Britney said that we had dinner at the old Defuskey Crab Company.

This is probably the most popular spot on the island because, of course, this is where people dock off.

But this is the largest restaurant that they have.

Again, this is a tourist island, but it’s not built up to be touristy except for in this spot.

23:42

There are some people that live on the island that have small businesses where, you know, you can go get snacks or do this or that somewhere in the middle of the island.

But this is really the main spot.

And then I would say the second most crowded place would obviously be the beach.

But this area by the dock is really, really lively.

24:01

You could watch live bands.

Like you said, lots of people are here in their bathing suits, shirts off, off, just having food, cocktails, drinks, so really fun atmosphere.

If you do go to Defuskey Island, I really only think you need a day there at most.

People do spend the night though, so if you do want something more remote on an island I guess you could do that too, but there’s not a lot going on here.

24:23

Yeah, once we saw the historical sites and went to the beach, I mean, you’re pretty much done.

So again, us personally, we would not spend the night here and just do a day trip unless you wanted to be on the beach secluded by yourself for several days.

Once we got back into Palmetto Bluff, we had been crossing a bridge every day that we were going in and out of the community and we were always seeing several Gators in this area.

24:48

So when we were going back into the community, Jamal noticed that we could pull off to the right hand side after the bridge.

And so we got out and we walked back to it and we went to see the Gators and Oh my gosh, there was at least 10 Gators swimming around and they were pretty close to us underneath the bridge as well.

25:06

I was going to say at least 20.

You go with 10.

There were a lot and they came close.

You saw some big boys, some smaller ones, some that were swimming, some that were on land and little sandbars, so to speak.

Week to the best analogy I can give.

So again, just with nature, really fun.

25:21

I guess if you are a local to the area, I’ve seen a million, you’ve seen them all.

It’s not exciting, but for tourists and people who don’t see them every day, pretty cool.

So we did that and then of course just relaxed at the town home for the rest of the night before we wrapped it up the next day day for for our final day of this trip.

25:42

So this was our last day, day four of our trip, and we were flying back out of the same airport, the Savannah Hilton Head Airport, which is really close to the downtown Savannah airport.

So we decided to do a day trip to Savannah.

And we mentioned it earlier because we’ve been to Savannah before, but Savannah is a very beautiful, charming southern city that has rich history, beautiful architecture, the Moss draped oak trees and just cool picturesque public squares.

26:10

And it’s one of the oldest cities in in the United States.

It was founded in 1733.

So a lot of storied history here.

And again, we have been before.

I know Brittany just said that, but our time here for me and Brittany personally was going to be short because by the time we drove from Palmetto Bluff in South Carolina to get here, we knew we wanted to do one thing in particular with Brittany’s family before we headed on home and to the airport.

26:37

And that was go to the Owens Thomas House and Slave Quarters.

So we did book a guided tour that started at 11 AM.

And Brittany, why don’t you tell Squatty’s a little bit about this?

Because I know you wanted to do it, and I know particularly your sister wanted to do this as well.

Yeah, my sister really wanted to do something historic while we were in Savannah, so I picked this as our activity to do this day.

27:01

And so we had an 11 AM guided tour.

It was actually a really nice tour, lasted about an hour long.

And shout out to our tour guide.

I don’t know if you noticed Jamal, but he was very cute.

I did notice that as a man, I’m comfortable enough saying that he was very good looking and I actually saw your sister and Deja, so our niece Brittany’s sister’s daughter, make comments while he was giving the tour about how attractive they thought he was.

27:30

He was.

He was very.

I can’t say he blamed him.

He was a good looking guy, won’t lie.

So we visited the Owens Thomas House in slave quarters and this is one of Savannah’s most significant historic homes and I feel like it’s a must visit for anyone that’s interested in understanding the city’s complex past.

27:46

The house itself was built in 1816 and it’s a Regency style mansion and it gives a really good glimpse into the lives of the wealthy families who lived here, but it also highlights the stories of the enslaved people who worked and lived on the property as well.

Yeah.

28:01

And so you get a good sense of the history when you visit here.

But beyond that, what’s really cool is this house was actually ahead of its time.

And what I mean by that is they hired an architect.

I believe they said he was from the UK or from England or something to that effect, right?

28:19

Really young architect.

But this was, I think they said, the first or one of the first homes in the US to actually have indoor plumbing.

And so not only are you really seeing a Southern estate that’s resemblance of its time and getting the history, but you’re also looking at something that was also ahead of its time, so to speak, in terms of technology.

28:43

So our guide, of course, minus the girls spawning all over him on how good looking he was, he was actually a really good guide on piercing everything together, keeping you really engaged on the tour of the house, the stories of the people who live there.

28:58

And it’s a great way to get a history of Savannah.

Yeah.

So I mean, I think it’s worth visiting at least once.

And then after we did that visit, we went ahead and grabbed a bite to eat at Hitch, and we ended up getting like waffles and chicken.

And then we ended up getting an apple pie, chicken fried chicken sandwich.

Interesting combinations, but both really good kind of heavy Southern food.

Yeah, heavy southern food, but this place Hitch is known and was recommended number one, but also known to really fuse food together, right?

29:34

These weird combinations, they don’t sound like they would go together, but they really do play.

But you have that Southern style comfort food with it.

But like you said, Brittany heavy.

So it’s worth definitely trying if you like that type of food.

Having had it, would I go back there and eat again?

29:53

I wouldn’t be like, Oh yeah, I want to go back.

But if somebody suggested it and I was there and I had the hankering for a heavy meal, I would for sure ’cause it was delicious.

Yeah, it was definitely good.

Just hot in the summer heat, of course.

But then after that, we walked through the cemetery.

30:08

We saw Chippewa Square, where the Forest Gump scene was filmed.

We went through right square, which is where one of the first woman ever in Georgia was hung in the past.

And we went past the haunted CVS.

And so we had been by these parks and squares before and through the cemetery before.

30:26

So we kind of just gave my family a little history lesson, if you will.

Yeah.

And so after that, Brittany and I had to get to the airport.

We left, of course, Brittany’s family behind for them to explore Savannah on their own.

After giving them that little brief tour, we told them they should go to the waterfront area and just stroll that spot because it’s really nice, really cool.

30:48

A touristy area, no doubt.

So a good way for them to kill time before they headed back to Palmetto Bluff.

But what a great time the South.

It never disappoints me when I’m in the South.

I mean, the biggest complaint I had is the heat, but you can’t do much about that.

31:03

I enjoy my time in the South and I would definitely go back.

I love this area and I love Savannah and this neighborhood in Palmetto Bluff that we stated was absolutely magical.

So I would stay here again in this neighborhood.

But before we left, we went by Publix for a deli sandwich because, you know, if we’re in the South, we got to grab a Publix deli sandwich with Boar’s Head and and we enjoyed that on our flight home.

31:27

Yeah, and if you don’t know, The Boar’s Head is a deli meat company.

We weren’t actually really eating any Boar’s Head.

So just as an FYI.

My family stayed in Palmetto Bluff for a full week.

We just stayed for a long weekend.

But thank you guys so much for tuning into just the tip.
