A Perfect Day in Savannah, GA
Christina Field
Georgia’s second-biggest city is every bit as charming & hospitable as its nickname “The Hostess City of the South” implies.
With its beautiful 18th-century architecture, dripping Spanish moss, delectable food, and variety of things to do, there’s no doubt that spending one day in Savannah, GA, is always worth it.
Here's how to make the most of one day in this must-see destination.

Jones Street
@christinafield
Frequently hailed as the most beautiful street in America, Jones Street is an absolutely stunning place to snap gorgeous photos of Savannah.
Lined with mature oak trees dripping with Spanish moss, magnificent mansions, cobblestone staircases, and plenty of American flags for a pop of color, Jones Street happens to be one of my favorite places to visit in Savannah.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Christina Field
Hi, my name is Christina Field, and I am a life long traveling nomad having grown up in the Air Force and having traveled extensively as an adult on family vacations, trips with my hubby, and work-related travel. My husband and I love travel, exploring new places, and meeting new people so much we left our traditional house-based life and are living life on the road in our RV and on extended international trips.
I strongly believe in the power of travel to enrich our lives. Travel provides opportunities for renewal, discovery, and inspiration and has the potential to transform lives and create a better world.
I want everyone to have the travel experiences of their dreams, and that is why I am passionate about helping clients make their vacation dreams come true. Being location independent myself means I can help clients regardless of their location.
I also know that most folks are so busy with day to day activities, and sometimes vacation planning takes a back seat. When you consider how many options there are and how many sources of travel information there are, it can be overwhelming to sift through the information and hard to know who to trust.
That's where I come in. As a lifelong traveler and as a travel professional, I have expertise and access to exclusive insider information that I love to share with my clients.
Whether you are planning a relaxing escape, a girlfriend getaway, a man-cation, a romantic honeymoon or a family reunion, I can create a customized experience for you that will be completely hassle-free and tailored to your wants and needs.
What are your travel dreams . . . sailing on the seas, lounging at an all-inclusive resort, trekking on safari, cruising on a river . . . ? Where do you want to go . . . ?
Reach out to me today, and starting with our first conversation I will use my years of research and organizational skills to custom design the vacation experience of YOUR dreams.
I can take the work out of travel, so you can have all the FUN ! How can I help you?
