This is Savannah: The Old, the New, and the Quirky - Spring / Summer2022 Episode 2

[@dotti2928]

We came to Savannah as tourist and just fell in love with this beautiful, historic city.....so much so that we moved here, after living in Chicago for 50 years! Savannah has been our home for 7 years so far and we're loving it!!

[@yolandam611]

Wow that's awesome. The weather alone.

[@markshelhart8338]

Nobody and I mean nobody does urban RV videos like Robert; absolutely the best.

[@BALOYBEACHBUM]

I was stationed aboard the USS Savannah AOR-4 and we pulled into Savannah for the Shrimp festival, one of the most beautiful cities I have seen. The Commanding Officer was given the "Key to the City" from the Mayor, in uniform with our "Savannah" patches, we got unto alot of places free, the people loved us, and gave us a great welcome, seems I did not have to spend any money, even the taxis gave us free fair! A port visit I will never forget, THANK YOU SAVANNAH!

[@QBAN2010]

I had the pleasure of living in Savannah for ten years! My wife and I were in our twenties and just starting out. Two of our sons were born there. I worked at the newspaper just across the street from city hall and the Hyatt. I can’t tell you how many times I walked along River Street for lunch, or on some of those church steps in Johnson Square. Working on 111 W. Bay Street was thrilling, right in the middle of everything.

[@QBAN2010]

I hope you come to Jefferson City Missouri one of these days. My wife and I are from Cuba but I grew up in Miami. She has only been here since 2016. I went to Citrus Grove on 22nd Ave. When I picked her up at MIA in 2016, I showed her around Miami and then planned to show her Savannah and Gatlinburg on the way back to Missouri. While in Savannah I took her on one of those tourist trollies, the kind I used to get stuck behind on my way to work…making me late! So after proudly showing off to her my wonderful and former city I asked her what she thought. Her answer was just three words. Too many squares!!! That’s my guajira for you….! Hope to meet you one of these days….

[@vishuddhathakkar]

Savannah looks beautiful no matter the number of times one visits 👍🏻

[@drivinghorizons]

Savannah looks beautiful. That rooftop bar looked an easy place to spend a few hours!!

[@debbiewerner7124]

A rainy day in Pittsburgh but a great hour spent down south. What a wonderful tour of Savanna and the fort. ❤

[@user-px3yi3ut8s]

[@josephrobichaud5198]

For anyone visiting Savannah for the first time I strongly suggest going to the visitor center on the outskirts of the city and taking one of the Trolley tours. They make stops so you can hop on and off if you want to linger. I got fed up trying to find a parking spot near the river front so I went across that bridge, parked at the hotel, walked through the lobby and hopped on the free ferry that takes your right to River St.

[@glendasharp5057]

We took the trolley tour when we spent a day in Savannah in 2019. It was excellent, and I recommend it. I recognized a lot of the tour highlights in Traveling Robert's video.

[@welshlyn9097]

Remember

[@rethapadlo4335]

I have always loved the history of the southern states. I was through Savannah one time. absolutely loved it.

[@forry100]

Forgot to mention, we also stayed at Fort McAllister, after being rejected by another place because he did not want truck drivers at his place. As tight as Fort McAllister is, we did it with the larger semi truck and our trailer. Looks like we should have hit that place near the campground too, well next time. Right before you mentioned spending a week, I had said same thing to Barb. Btw, as much as I love downtown Savannah, there is a shorter way from the Ft. to Tybee, although the GPS and Google do not suggest the route we used, it was good. Wormsloe we did not know about, something Barb has wanted to see and yet so close to Sam's Club that we have been at for fuel a few times. Thanks again, this is one of our favorite videos, made us homesick for Savannah.

[@karendevries8219]

I didn't catch the name of the brewery harvest host?

[@jked7463]

So nice to see your wife part of the video, if for ever so briefly. Hopefully she will become more comfortable in front of the camera over time. The pink house for dinner is much more than fried chicken.

[@FoolishPrankster]

Oh Savannah, I wish you were my home ! 😍

[@esmeraldaamaral8013]

I truly fell in love with Savannah, I was there in March the weather was perfect, atmosphere was so tranquil, great video. So many places to go to.👍

[@TM-bd7nf]

Thank you for all the hard work that you put into making these videos.

[@exploreusabytexasstarmagaz7213]

I love traveling with you all from my living room chair. I have been to many of these wonderful places, but have not seen a lot of the 'out of the way' places that you show on your channel. I thank you for the trips and I pray for your safety on the road. Blessings

[@marysaunders4041]

Hello Robert and family... be sure to visit the J. W. Marriott (on the waterfront) next time, as it is relatively new and quite exciting inside. There is a very special collection of beautiful gems and large minerals, on display, that you will not likely get a chance to see anywhere else. Keep up the good work...Mary

[@tiggeriffic77]

Thank you for putting up with those gnats for us Robert! That’s called dedication!❤

[@fokaspetrogiannis]

Excellent 👌

[@marshallhughes3763]

I live in Savannah and it's a beautiful city.

[@willhan3195]

Robert! Savannah is so hauntingly beautiful. The last time I was there, I had walked by the James Oglethorpe monument statue. The statue is positioned so his back is to St Augustine. St Augustine was Spanish and very Catholic. Later I went back to my hotel room and watched the news. Come to find out His Majesty King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia were visiting St Augustine that day to visit the Castillo de San Marcos. Yes the paddle on the back of the boat needs to spin! LOLOL Stay Well!!

[@bigjimslade6250]

Savannah & Tybee Island are great. We stayed there in February this year & loved it. We need to check out Ft McAllister though as I had ancestors who were in the Georgia State Militia during the Revolutionary War & had engagements along the Ogeechee River. Great video 👍

[@Arginne]

Wow thank you for sharing that about John Wesley. I was raised Methodist and never knew about Savannahs rich methodist history

[@Patrick_Ross]

I could almost feel the heat, humidity and bugs seeping thru my TV screen! Not a snowball’s chance in hell you’ll ever find me in the South during the summer months. Was in Savannah in April and conditions were perfect.

[@VenerableYorge]

F A N T A S T I C ! ! ! 💯👍😄

[@vang8438]

I was excited to see you put my ancestor's monument in the video around 16:18! Thank you Robert

[@todhunt182]

Great job on your photography and narration, as usual! Savanna is a fantastic "walking" city. Thanks for sharing. "Fly pelican, fly!!"

[@kevinsrvtipsandtrips4361]

Robert it looked like you had some yellow flies also swarming on you at the fort. They do bite and leave a nasty bite. Love the video. We were in Savanna in June it was awesome.

[@cslay06]

Never heard them called 'yellow flies'. . . In Ohio we call them deer flies - at least as good as I could see them in the video . . . same thing perhaps? So, I looked them up. Now I know what a yellow fly is, and it turns out they are related to deer flies and horse flies. Yuck. Yes, they hurt and are a pain in the butt

[@lynnmariec]

After talking about business all day, it's so relaxing to sit down and watch one of your videos while I enjoy dinner. I love learning about tr he different towns, thank you and say hello to your wife. Not sure about her name But, love the videos ..thanks

[@cheryltaylor8124]

Beautiful thank you for sharing and taking us on a lovely 🥰 trip

[@LeslinAdventures]

Just wanna say we love watching your videos Thank you for sharing.

[@darleneatkinson6730]

Robert, those sea Odier's was so cute just really enjoying themselves kind of remind me of mother cats with their kittens playing and enjoying each other, Georgia state very beautiful Thank you and your wife for the upload of this video Robert, you help me see a lot more of the United States with all your uploads so thank you very much.

[@uSoNeek229]

God bless you and your beautiful wife for bringing us along. It’s always a treat!

[@dylanreynolds8264]

thank you robert

[@WomanUnfiltered]

I've lived outside of Savannah for 19 years. I only go to the Southside when absolutely necessary, but only go towards downtown to visit my daughter. Traffic sucks, parking can be impossible and like all tourist towns, everything is majorly overpriced.

[@sammer1rlg]

Robert, you produce great travel vlogs, thank you.

[@GaryNichols50]

Good to see McAllister State Park again. I was campground host there for 5 months in 2018. A buddy of mine (Dean) was campground host when you were there in May. Nice to see Savannah again, too. I lived there for 6 years before becoming a full-timer. In fact, I took the host opening at McAllister in order to make a slow transition into full-timing.

[@juliecarriker9950]

Great video of my town! 😍 Actually, the Westin Hotel is on an island in the Savannah River, so still Georgia. Actually, Plant Riverside is partly historic, since it centres around the old power plant (which say empty and deterioratIng for YEARS! I love the tavern under the Pink House!!! Haha, I feel the same about the line at Leopold's! 😁 Electric Moon is one of my favorite new places. You should have tried the slide! I'll have to try Fish Tales! Thanks for sharing your visit!

[@joycemosakowski3648]

Now that's what I'm talking about! Oh what a town. I love History. Nice detail tour, Robert.

[@paulraymond890]

Hi Joyce How are you today ?🌹🌺

[@almamorales4158]

Savannah is a very beautiful city.......I am thinking of spending a week in this place.It is a city with charm.Congrats...... Keep safe..... and see you on the road...>>>

[@kands2011]

Next time you are in Savannah let me know and I'll get you on our trolley tours with Old Town Trolley (green and orange ones) I think you actually got me giving a tour...lol.

[@susanbeth74]

That Salsa band! I wouldn't have been able to walk away! My favorite genre! Great video of Savannah too!

[@thomtea1961]

Those weren’t gnats Robert. Those were Deer Flies and they do deliver a painful bite.

[@sgtkingking2228]

I've only been to Savanna once while in the military. Very neat city. Continue to have fun and always be safe, Robert.

[@nicthompson2310]

Sand gnats. Immune to bug spray. Avon skin so soft only thing that works.

[@exploringcoasttocoast0203]

Squirrel - cute! I carry a bowl in the basement with us and put water in it for squirrels and birds. It gave my cats something to look at. Thanks for the tour of Savannah. I need to go (I don't like cities but I'll make an exception :-)

[@donnay1]

I was thinking poor squirrel just needed a drink. I would have gotten a bowl.

[@lishik7712]

Wow, Savannah is so beautiful! I really needed one of your fun adventures tonight! Thank you, again! 🤗

[@danielsmyth2646]

Great show!

[@ChristianTravelers]

We were just there July 5-9, staying at Thousand Trails' Oaks at Point South which is 40 minutes away from the historic district in Savannah and, surprisingly, there were plenty of empty spaces! Planter's Tavern under the Pink House is world-class in ambiance and food rivaling some European places! The menu is exactly the same as the Pink House. Again, surprisingly, there were empty tables (Planter's Tavern does not take reservations unlike the Pink House). Highly Recommended!!

[@rollshow3024]

These are the kind of videos I like to watch with you. Your make me feel like I'm right there', without having to break a sweat.

[@catherinegoltra3450]

We cannot wait to explore Savannah after watching your incredible video!!! Thank you for sharing your travels with us! P.S. Ila's laugh is beautiful! Enjoy!!!

[@paulraymond890]

Hi Catherine How are you today ?🌹🌺

[@REDJR22]

What a great tour, even for a new resident of Savannah. Thanks for taking me along.

[@cameronbackstrom1049]

Possibly my favorite city in the country. I try to make it down there 2, maybe even 3 times a year. My favorite thing is driving down 95 south in the early spring and feeling the air temperature change and smelling that southern spring air.

[@gapeach51170]

We live 45 minutes from Savannah and love to go there for the live music. So many places have music on the weekends. :)

[@joansidor3409]

I loved watching this video on my balcony in northern Arizona, sans humidity! Joan

[@faithrada]

I love @ 32: Robert's big smile when he discovers the Salsa band setting up. 🎵 Wish I had had this tour of Savanah years ago when I went through the area.. I missed so much.

[@michaelrains2268]

Love Savannah ❤️, I have been there twice but watched your videos makes me want to return!

[@joyceb5864]

No visit to Savannah is complete without seeing The Ships of the Sea Museum. Many years ago, it resided in a 3-story building on River Street, and I was always fascinated with the displays. Then it moved to MLK Blvd and they only show a portion of the collection at a time. Very worth browsing through.

[@subaru4me]

Thank you for the tour of Fort Mc Nat. Enjoyed the video.

[@kalif404]

Heading to Savannah because of Robert. We Love his video's He is amazing and Real!!

[@forry100]

Thanks Robert. We, along with many others who also recommended you go to it knew you would love The Original Crabshack. Next time hit it near night, their lights are something and hopefully you can meet up with the famous Capt. Jack, the owner. We have been there a few times in a semi tractor, no trailer. We also love Sting Ray's in downtown Tybee Island and have slept in the truck at the city parking lot (with official permission) next to the beach, in front of the Tybee Hotel and only a block from Sting Ray's... hint, hint. Parking hint Forry aka 4E was good too and actually use that to get people to pronounce our name correctly, lol. So many places we have yet to make it to, Thank You Steven for the ideas. We never spend enough time in Savannah. Barb has forbid me to drive down along the river, but I will. Many are suprised to find that the downtown (upper level road) is actually an official truck route.

[@nicthompson2310]

That’s still Georgia across from the Savannah river.

[@edwardblack8532]

Hoosier here. We plan on visiting Savannah/Tybee Island in late January. Don't expect to stay somewhere nice but I hope to see a few of the squares and restaurants downtown in the 1-2 days we're there.

[@jonhowe2960]

Savannah native here, what a great you-are -there vlog. If you ever return, you may wish to drive the historic Ardsley Park/Crescent Circle neighborhood south of Victory Drive. It is the loveliest residential area in the whole USA.

[@barbarabell8674]

So happy I get to live in this southern gothic gorgeous city!

[@jamesclick8223]

Awesome show. I live 2 hours away so have been to Savannah/Tybee many,many times. Thanks for showing one of my favorite places Bubba Gumbo's some love.

[@tomrepici9608]

Yes!! River Street Sweets!! The pralines are amazing.

[@karenclabaugh5416]

Wonderful video of coastal Ga. I will visit Savannah for 2 days with my teenager. I showed her this video ,and she was so excited. Now I am planning our walking route with pts of interest and parking garages Looking for cheap parking areas is such a challenge

[@majesticfamilyvlogs4542]

I lived in Savannah, Ga on and off from 2004-2016. The downtown area is beautiful.

[@TheDaubSquad]

Well. That meal at the Crab Shack looked fantastic!

[@BultOfLightning]

I work in savannah. I still love to watch videos like yours to see if there are spots I haven't tried that I want to.thanks for the video!

[@alrichardson7027]

Hello Traveling Robert🎸🎸🍕🍕🍔🍔🎵🎵🎉🎉, this was absolutely AWESOME footage taking us to all of the sights. Those bugs would not stop😊😊😊. Savannah is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING👍👍👍👍👍👍.

[@FittingInAdventure]

Savannah is amazing! All the foodie spots have incredible lines, but they are worth it.

[@kelhapam]

I’ve shared this video with my daughter who works in the Plant Riverside District at the JW Marriott.

[@stevieford777]

Thanks for visiting our beautiful city. You did a great job on your video showing the beauty of the city. You are welcome back any time.

[@Christian_Harlow]

My wife and I have watched several of your videos. Very good!

[@TigerMiller1]

Savanna is definitely on my bucket list now

[@mobileliving2764]

Georgia is beautiful. Thank you for the wonderful adventure

[@justinebuckleywright1302]

Thank you Robert, for sharing such a beautiful place Savannah!!

[@1970boobear]

What a gracious, cool city!! Thank you for the always enjoyable content & gpooooood morning! ✌ 💘 🏕😊

[@blnik96]

Great video. Perfect for chilling on a summer afternoon

[@tbwill]

We were in Savannah about a week after you were there and stayed at Skidaway Island State Park, just outside of Savannah. A great place to stay if you want to camp close to Savannah. Beautiful campground with some interesting hiking trails. Savannah was a beautiful city, loved all the park like squares and the beautiful homes.

[@lwilliams3414]

Great video. I’m here in Savanna now for the first time and love it!

[@erica1182]

hi Robert. so glad you got to enjoy my hometown. Plant riverside is a wonderful revitalization project on the old Georgia Power Plant. We love sitting on river street in the evenings watching the cargo ships and dolphins. Savannah offers a little bit of something for everyone. The history covers everything from Revolutionary War, pirates, civil war, and even the creation of the song jingle bells. Above the stores in City Market are artist lofts that are free and open to the public. My favorite time to explore the city is fall and early spring when all the flowers are blooming. When you come back check out the Savannah Ogeechee Canal Society. Lots of history and in Fall and Spring beautiful wild flowers bloom including Iris. There's a lovely trail that goes to the river.

[@laurengregg4530]

I Was There June 22nd Of 2022 And I Miss It Already. 😢 I Didn't Get To Sightsee Enough.

[@maxineoliver7404]

I know that there's a lot of ground to cover, and you have, so far, done a fantastic job with the places you've covered!👍 Savannah is definitely a beautiful place to visit!⛲🕍🏭🏫 You've also brought back great memories -with SCAD(former studunt)🏫, Tybee Island🏖, Riverstreet, the Squares, historical buildings, and famous streets, and great music seafood! 🦀🦐The old blending with the new makes Savannah a very exciting place as well to visit(even on May 5th)!🎉🎶🎺🎷🪘🎸 Take care and enjoy!

[@reddeadrespawn3903]

Absolutely love your videos, I sit down and watch them with my family when they come out. I don't have a RV but this gives me goals of one day owning one and traveling. Thank you!

[@destiny40stl]

By my 3rd trip, I was visiting the Golden Isles (St. Simon's, Jekyll Island, etc.). Savannah is my favorite place to visit

[@Crabman-ub4gb]

Great job Robert enjoyed the river walk looking forward to returning

[@TheWolfPackFam]

Looks beautiful! One of the places on my list to visit. Thanks for sharing!

[@daniellongsworth4484]

I'd like to move to Savannah. Where they have so much unique history and dining spots. Not to mention a Florida State alumni group. I just wish I could find an affordable place to live.

[@Keeferlgb]

Great video! Savannah is only two hours away from our home, but when we go there, we feel like we’re a world away! Never get tired of visiting Savannah. You captured the scenery and vibe of the old city spot on! Also, that fly looking bug you called a gnat is actually a horse fly, or yellow fly, as we call them. They bite like hell and laugh at the use of bug spray!😆

[@bensq1204]

I was just visiting Savannah today on the way to Hilton Head. I did not watch the video until after we saw the city. You did all the things we wanted to do plus more. I hope you had a nice time.

[@laurengregg4530]

That Bridge Was Huge

[@selfesteem3447]

Robert this is my city, I was born here in 1967 on East Park Avenue in historic district. I'm sure you've already gone by now. I hope you had a good time. We're having a break from the really hot hot summer that we had last year in 2021. Some may not notice, I'm not saying it's still not hot -not really the heat wave we can usually get here - but at least we have a breeze this year and cooler nights than what we have seen in the past.

[@ojobee]

Can't wait till your next Winnebago is a class b. Savannah is great for boondocking inside the city.

[@kframe764]

Thank you for this great video. My husband and I are very fond of Savannah. We actually got married on Tybee island. If you ever go back go to Hucapoos. Best pizza ever. Job well done. Thanks so much.

[@hedycohen9804]

Thank you for another wonderful video, especially putting up with the bugs to give us a great tour of the fort.

[@neidaheusinkvelt1062]

If you can time it right, visit Savannah in the spring on St. Patrick’s Day. Large parade with local military bases joining in, celebration of everything Irish in the neighborhood squares with arts and crafts and local food and hit the bars along the river to watch the NCAA mens basketball conference games with hundreds of other sports fans. Such a fun town with so much history, warmth and personality.

[@temeikaoliver2442]

Savannah is truly a wonderful place! Just got back from visiting there friday! Cant wait to go back!

[@jazzjackson9875]

We're in Atlanta area (Marietta...very close to Acworth). My daughter and I watched this together and she is now a big fan of yours!
