Fort Myers to Savannah

Traveling from sunny Fort Myers to historic Savannah blends coastal relaxation with Southern charm. Pack light but include both beachwear and smart casual outfits for Savannah’s elegant districts. Keep digital copies of your ID and hotel confirmations. Learn a few Southern phrases like "y'all" and "bless your heart" to chat with locals. Stay flexible, I-75 traffic can vary, and scenic detours like the A1A coastal route add time but offer stunning views. Try Fort Myers’ fresh grouper sandwiches before leaving and Savannah’s famous shrimp & grits upon arrival. Carry small bills for tolls ($5-10 in change) and historic district parking meters. Most importantly, slow down to savor Spanish moss draped squares and Gulf Coast sunsets! Learning a few basic Spanish phrases can be helpful as Key West has a strong Cuban influence. Stay flexible, as weather or flight delays can sometimes affect travel plans. Try the local cuisine, especially fresh seafood, but be mindful of food safety to avoid any stomach troubles. Carry some extra cash for emergencies but avoid keeping it all in one place. Most importantly, take in the beautiful coastal scenery, relax, and enjoy your trip!
