Going to Tybee beach on 3rd July was one of our first outings in Savannah. It was a glorious day. I must say one month into living in Savannah without anything to do but watching television and cleaning the room we stay in is just about doing me in. I needed to go out----I'm an extrovert! I need to socialise...gosh! It was so good to go out with others, meet new people and chill out. Besides, I'd been so looking forward to going to Tybee Beach even before coming to Savannah. I'd been really pleased to hear during Don's orientation programme for international students that they were including a trip to Tybee, but then Don had a last minute extra class included in his schedule and we had to miss the trip :(. I was rather disappointed then. Don had said I could still go ahead, but I'm never really interested to go anywhere without him, much as I'd like to go out. So when Tracy, another new-found, American friend we met during Don's orientation, emailed to ask if we wanted to join her on a trip to Tybee and watch the fireworks, of course, I said, "Yes!". So there we were! And did I mention I love the sea and the beach? That's why I stay in Telok Blangah Heights. It's 5 minutes from the South-West coast of Singapore...sigh* I missed our flat yesterday with our 24th floor view of the Telok Blangah hills and Pasir Panjang Harbour, not to mention Mount Faber and Sentosa. Oh well...2 years...hmmm...Sandra, Siew Chin, William and little Joseph can enjoy it all for us...
