Itinerary:
The AOC has not had a Memorial Weekend beach trip in a few years now. It is time! Join me Friday, May 22 thru Monday, May 25 for a fantastic time on the beach, on the water and anywhere in between.

The Outdoor Inn (www.theoutdoorinn.com) is located on a tidal creek with inspiring marsh views on Tybee Island (off the coast of Savannah). Just a short walk to the beach, there are also restaurants and shops nearby. The Inn has a complete kitchen, wireless Internet connection, cable TV/DVD, outdoor showers, a protected area to hang wet clothes and gear, and plenty of parking. All bed linens and cooking utensils/pots, etc are provided.

A limited itinerary for the four days will be planned out as we get closer to the event...we will have alot of free time. Some of the available activities include relaxing on the white sandy North Beach (200 yards from Inn), participating in the 1st Annual Sand Castle building contest (prizes awarded), renting bikes ($10/day) or bring your own bike to cruise the 14 mile long island and of course, the very popular, sea kayaking around the island and marsh (outfitter is next door to the Inn - guided trips for $60).

We will do some group planned dinners and we have the option of going out for fresh seafood one night as well.

What a great way to say "Good Bye" to Old Man Winter! Hope you can join me!
