> SlowTrav > North America > Travel Notes Countdown to Savannah: Shopping in Savannah (Part 1)Written by Palma In early 2007, we started our official Countdown to Savannah. Each Sunday, we posted a different topic about this special city where we met for our first Great Slow Travel Gathering in Spring 2008. With 63 posts over 14+ months, we learned a lot about the many facets of this historic, hospitable and intriguing American city. Our weekly posts touched on Savannah's history, famous people, architecture, food, culture, surrounding area and much more. We hope this information acquaints you with Savannah, entices you to visit this historic city, and prepares you for a very memorable trip. An Important Part of Vacation PlanningFor me, SHOPPING is always part of my vacation planning! I hope this is helpful to other shoppers visiting Savannah!
