There is also a great British meet up group who could help you at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/expatbritsinatlanta/

Was there at the beginning of the year for a work conference. It's nice. Back there again at the start of 2008. Looking forward to it.

Could only afford the one night, even at travel agent rates-meatloaf dinner there was 30 bucks!!!

Afterwards, we toddled on down to St Augustine for a few days before DH went back to UK to wait out his visa approval, had a half price room at the Casa Monica which is a turn of the century hotel right in town that's been done up.

I would like to check out the Jekyll Island Club on Jekyll Island, supposed to be nice. There are other nice places too on the Golden Isles , but not cheap!!

http://www.jekyllclub.com/photogallery.asp?gallery_id=3 We had a vacation cottage on Jekyll Island for many years. I loved the old "Millionaires Village" and their so called "cottages" lol the Island Club has a great dining room overlooking the wharf, where the shrimp boats come in , and the marshes of glynn made famous by Stanley Lanier's poems. Its well worth a visit and not too far from you think its about 60 miles or so to Savannah from the area

You're right, it's not too far since we are south of Savannah.

I was lucky that the company paid for the 3-night stay. I would have died if I got that bill
