Awake: 6:28am Temp 56 sleep 6+11 mostly sunny overnight @ Jacksonville, FL.
After looking over our info on what to see & do in Jacksonville, we decided to skip the city & proceed north on I-95 to Savannah, GA. I haven't been able to find a campground in Savannah or very close to downtown; Kathy suggests we peel out & stop @ the GA welcome center where they might have more info on campgrounds.
After having coffee, we leave the Pecan RV Resort @ 9:30am; about (40) miles further north, we stop @ the Georgia Welcome Center where Kathy loads up on brochures & pamphlets on what to see & do in Savannah. Unfortunately, there are no campgrounds in or close to downtown Savannah; the nearest campground is the one I called yesterday while Kathy was @ the Flea Market (about 15 miles one way). I call Tanya again; she remembers my name & tells me the best she can do is (2) days, but she will work on switching a few reservations around & maybe come up with a few more days by the time we arrive. Then K & I have breakfast while parked in the truck lane @ the Welcome Center.
We arrive @ the Savannah Oaks RV Resort @ 12:28pm.
Today's travel: 114 miles 18 gal used 2+15 travel time 6.5 mpg 51 mph avg.
There are many trees in this campground so, when parking, I had to maneuver the coach so as to be able to receive satellite signals for our TV. Now we scrutinize the brochures & pamphlets & plan our tour schedule for tomorrow.
Before dinner, K & I walk the campground for (20) min of exercise & curiosity.
Dinner: Italian sausage, peppers, onion stoup with whole wheat pasta & broccoli.
Nick calls from Seattle; Jerry is sick, coughing to the point of vomiting twice during the night, & Nick wants to talk with Nurse Mom. They took Jerry to the Dr. today but, without an appointment, they were only able to see an assistant who advised shower steam for the cough or an over the counter cough expectorant. Nick & Eriko are concerned about a rash that Jerry has developed behind his knees & on his feet. After some discussion & in the absence of a fever & no rash on Jerry's torso, Kathy was not sure what caused the rash but felt it was not serious. They have an appointment for Jerry at the Dr tomorrow.
Tonight's movie: "The Devil & Miss Jones" with Jean Arthur, Robert Cummings, Charles Coburn, Spring Byington, Edmund Gwenn, etc. Delightful social comedy by Norman Krasna; millionaire Coburn masquerades as clerk in his own department store to investigate employee complaints; a must see. 1941. Great story; we loved it & Kathy stayed awake!
Lights out: 11:57pm
