I only spent one weekend in Savannah, but I absolutely loved it. The historic area is beautiful beyond words, one of the most unique cities in America. The squares and the homes are mysterious and gorgeous. Trees dripping with Spanish moss. You can almost lose yourself walking through town. The bar scene was surprisingly young and laid back. Overall, it's a place to go and wander. Park your car and leave it. Go, stay in the historic district, take your time, and soak up the southern feel and the postcard-perfect scenes. I know I will definitely be back.

Georgia is a diverse state combining beaches, mountains, history, intriguing natural attractions, the booming metropolis of Atlanta, and antebellum charm all wrapped up into one great package.
Half a dozen interstate highways traverse the state; Atlanta's mammoth international airport is one of the world's busiest; Georgia's own hard-surfaced highway system is one of the finest in the country today. Savannah, America's first planned city, has one of the nation's largest historical urban landmark districts, encompassing more than a thousand architecturally and historically important buildings. Ocean beaches and islands are plentiful all the way from Savannah down to the Florida border.

Drive through the North Georgia montains in the Fall. The scenery is beautiful.
The South is a great place and Georgia is great to visit. Between Macon, Atlanta and Savannah there is a ton of stuff to do. One of the things I really enjoy is going to the different festivals. There are SO many of them in Georgia.

Helen is a re-creation of an alpine village complete with cobblestone alleys and old-world towers. The famous Anna ruby falls are located in the Chattahoochee National Forest near Helen, GA.
