February 24, 2006 - Manning, South Carolina

Here we are at the Tourist Information Centre just outside Manning, South Carolina. We stopped for a break and picked up some hotel coupon books. The weather is lovely, with a temperature in the low 70's, a perfect temperature. So, we have decided to just go as far south as Savannah, Georgia tomorrow and stay there for 4 or 5 days, tour a cotton plantation and do some sightseeing. Then we plan to head west to Louisianna and spend a week or so in New Orleans.
We met a nice couple from Conneticut when we were registering at the hotel here. They are going down to Florida to visit their son. We are just chilling in our room right now, watching the Men's Curling gold medal game. Go Canada Go! Right now we are not planning to go to Florida, it is warm enough here to do what we want too, a little golfing, swimming and sightseeing. It is warm enough for short sleeves and shorts and we are happy with that, considering it was -30 with the windchill when we were in St. John last Saturday, brrrrrr.
