Thursday, September 1, 2011.
We arrived in Savannah, GA from our home in Salt Lake City, UT, landed at the charming Savannah/Hilton Head airport and passed through a plantation-like courtyard to baggage claim. Milton, a gracious porter helped us retrieve bags, escorted us out to the rental car, loaded everything in the trunk and gave us directions to a local seafood restaurant. We ate our way through a southern fried meal of hush puppies, scallops, and oysters, all dipped in a either a spicy Utah-like fry sauce or tarter sauce. This was digested with iced tea and lots of fresh lemon wedges. Ugh!
Our waitress was a young woman training to be a nurse. We asked her about eating at Paula Dean's, the lovely southern bell cook who is on the Food Network. After hearing her report of the crowds, confirmed by locals from an adjoining booth, eating there slipped from our priority list.
Drove to Hilton Head Island and checked into the Metropolitan Hotel.
