Forget the bagel for eggs benedict this morning; experience Gulf shrimp cake topped with poached egg and Hollandaise sauce. Also, peaches and cream French toast and sweet potato home fries. They’re gently shredded, not chunks.

Dress if you like for breakfast, or eat in your pjs. You’re at home on this dreamy Savannah vacation.

My grandmother was a private chef in Boston,” Kelly says, “and I’ve cooked on yachts in the Caribbean. I’m very comfortable cooking anything.”

She’ll tell you her recipes, teach you how and chat about other meals too if you like. Fresh everything, from the farmer’s market and the closest farm-to-table source possible.

$75 for this breakfast for two. She’ll put the coffee on first. When you book this personal meal experience, the chef will have returned from six autumn weeks cooking on an organic farm in northern California.

Stretching out naked in the living rooms works too. When you book the holiday home, ask Jeanne-Marie to arrange a visit from the massage therapist.

Laura Sturgess spent two hours with us – strong hands well versed in deep tissue and relaxation techniques and we didn’t have to find our way to a spa, drive, park or feed the meter.

Leave the driving to Everson and Albert; he delights in telling Savannah stories and pointing out the highlights as well as the quirky spots from their 1962 red Cadillac convertible. Set aside $15 an hour per person for this classic tour tied to what they call a Savannah Dream Vacation.

My quest for treasures framing the squares of Savannah found me walking north through the four blocks of Forsyth Park to stroll Bull Street through five squares.

The Sefer Torah is more than a discovery, rather a privilege to behold. Scribed in the early 1400s in Spain or Portugal, it was given to the 41 Jews in London boarding the William and Sarah to sail to the Georgia colony July 11, 1733.

Remarkable I could walk through a park—Monterey Square—inside the museum adjoining Congregation Mickve Israel not knowing what to anticipate, and stand in the presence of faith-filled history.
