Island hopping to Savannah

We're heading northward back to Rhode Island, but because we're traveling by car, we've had the opportunity to visit unique, one-would-not-expect destinations (and restaurants, for the food obsessed among us). From Useppa, we headed to St. Simmons Island, Georgia, which proved a deep-South culture shock for up tight New Yorkers. That night, with no regard to our longevity, health, or arteries, we enjoyed truly delicious southern shrimp and grits. The next morning, we visited Jekyll Isand, Georgia, the birthplace of the Federal Reserve (see "The Creature from Jekyll Island). Though topographically beautiful, there is little to see, and after a quick lunch, we drove to Savannah. Cuban Food tonight was a welcome change of pace and more to come from Newt territory tomorrow. As a side, I just watched "Game Change" on HBO, and found it absolutely excellent.
