Recently spent a 2 week holiday in Dubai. It's one of the few places that's "open". It was never one of my desired holiday places after many business trips there's so I went with low expectations. Had to do some "medical tourism" and decided to make a holiday of it.Result:- very tight COVID controls. Masks mandatory everywhere, even walking outside- PCR test on arrival at airport- JBR area is really nice and walking with a mask is not the end of the world- Restaurants were also strict - all attractions were open. Nothing crowded.- Within the resort was more relaxed - no masks required in pool and beach areasOverall it was nice. Much better than expected. Also, it has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world.
Heading to Savannah with my fiancé for 3 days at the end of May. I've never been. Any recommendations?
My family likes:The Pirates House Restaurant (Chapter 1 of RL Stevenson's Treasure Island takes place in this house.)
Not to call you out, but I don't think this is true. I know the restaurant has pages from an early version of the book in the restaurant (maybe on the walls I think) but RLS was Scottish and the start of Treasure Island is near the Bristol Channel in England

The Olde Pink House blows away Planter's Tavern! Nice choices!

Other than Paula Deen's joints, are there any bad restaurants or bars in Savannah?
The Olde Pink is excellent as well. I had a really good meal at PT but my apologies.
I was just kidding, because iirc, they have the same menu, share the same kitchen, don't they?
DGies, now I see how you maintain that 28-inch waist! My roadfood faves in no particular order (depends on the meal and what part of the country we are passing through)Waffle House - a family breakfast tradition for our family on the way to visit my folksCracker Barrel - don't @ me - I grew up a few miles from the original restaurant and the food is pretty damn authentic, given it's a chain - right down to the salty cornbread muffins and the sweet tea. Also - you can get Goo Goo Clusters
First of all, I’m flattered you noticed Sorry, any chain restaurant that has two locations at every freeway interchange in the Southeast leaves me wondering. Not to mention that Waffle House fare scares me. Cracker Barrel is a Nashville institution the way Minnie Pearl’s fried chicken is. Better known for how fast it comes out rather than how slow it goes in.
You can get a togo styrofoam cup of grits from Waffle House. At least you could 20 years ago. Grab a spoon, a pad of butter, and a packet of sugar and you're good to go!
Going to the Big Island in May. 2 years of Chase Point Hoarding means vacation time. Anyone ever been with recommendations?
