Stayed at this lovely boutique hostel, The Isetta Inn, for $49/night via my friends at Expedia. Was very pleased with my accommodations in The Screenwriter Room. It was a bit of a challenge for me as those who have read my blog know I am a technology nincompoop. All information for the reservation is done via text including codes for entry to the house and room as well as a UTube video explaining the process and services. No one is present at the hostel except the cleaning staff in the morning and early afternoon. Check in is at 3 pm.

Guess this is the way of the future so glad to have had this experience.

Never too old to learn and actually, it is quite an efficient process.

My second floor room had a window which opened to the second floor porch. During this era property taxes were based on the number of closets and doors in a home. That said, a window was used to gain entry to the porch in lieu of a door.

The Foyer – chandeliers are throughout the hostel.

There are 2 homes on this property with an adjoining walkway between the homes. Bicycles are available for hire, and a full kitchen is included in each home. In each room there is an informative binder explaining things to do in Savannah as well as places to dine. Adequate and clean bathrooms are available on each floor of the homes.

And for those television junkies I do not recall seeing them which is not to say they aren’t present or available. Hostel Wifi is strong, and there is adequate street parking which is safe and free.

Loved this venue.

The common rooms in the home.

And this little gem resides in the back yard of the house. What a hoot!

You never know what you’ll find when you travel.

Needed to be out of my condo for 3 days as I refinished the bathtub. For anyone who has undertaken this adventure believe you understand. It is quite a process – scouring the tub, then sanding, and removing fixtures. After removing all remnants of dust from sanding and allowing time for the tub to dry, the spray paint is applied. Need to wear a mask and goggles for this job. Surprisingly, this was the easiest part of the process. The smell of the paint necessitates home departure for 3 days as it is ghastly.

Cost for all products – approximately $120.

But the results as they say in the Master Card commercial – Priceless…

See for yourself.

And I also did the sink..

On to Savannah……

Upon completion of this home remodeling adventure I began the trek to Savannah, a 3 hour jaunt north.

Arriving in Savannah I dined at the Pirate House for lunch, make reservations. For a reasonable cost ($20), they have an amazing buffet with the usual suspects of Southern Fare – fried chicken, fish, collard greens, etc… The service is wonderful and decor interesting, (it actually was a pirate house), making a great start of a pleasant Savannah visit.
