Duluth, Georgia. Not exactly on my bucket list, but there is a reason for my second visit to this northeast suburb of Atlanta. The Gas South Arena played host to this year’s SEC Gymnastics Championships and it was the perfect place for my March stop in the Year of Travel.
Savannah. The name alone evokes images of the iconic land of plantation homes and horse-drawn carriages. But did you know there’s more to Savannah than meets the eye? Savannah is the second largest container port in the United States (second only to the combined ports of New York and New Jersey). Visit the waterfront on any given day, and you will see large container ships making their way up the Savannah River from ports around the world. Savannah has also been the setting for numerous Hollywood films (who can forget “Forrest Gump” and “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil”?). Savannah derives lesser-known notoriety as the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the Girl Scouts) and the site of sailing competitions during the 1996 Summer Olympics.
