A Rich Tradition Of Hospitality At This Grand Georgia Historic Hotel Landmark

At the turn of the century, tycoons, politicians, and socialites flocked to Jekyll Island to revel in their own luxury and America’s burgeoning wealth. Our historic Georgia Club was described in the February 1904 issue of Munsey’s Magazine as “the richest, the most exclusive, the most inaccessible club in the world.” Its impressive members included such luminaries as J.P. Morgan, William Rockefeller, Vincent Astor, Joseph Pulitzer, William K. Vanderbilt, and other recognizable names on the roster were Macy, Goodyear, and Gould.


Strange shot-I look like the 100 ft. woman...and my shorts are being eaten alive by my butt...

Beautiful chapel...amazing stain glass windows...


Real dunes with real sea oats...GA was smart by leaving these beaches natural...Not a high rise with neon lights in sight...THANK GOD-I hate neon...



Hey look everyone...it's Ed and Lisa and we are getting along!!

Georgetown, SC


UPDATE:
Does everyone know that Georgetown, SC BURNED? I haven't really seen anything about this- I happened to be in myrtle beach in January and just saw a magazine that talked about the fire... Holy cow- it's gone! Very very sad! 



LOVE LOVE LOVE this little city.  I have always liked Georgetown every since my mom brought me here years and years ago. It's such a small little city about 30 miles from Myrtle Beach-it's a fishing community with great restaurants, art, old theater, and much more. I loved it so much when I saw a sign in the window of one of the art galleries that an apartment was for rent above the gallery-I had to know more about it. I even called the number and began thinking of ways that I could rent my house out and live in Georgetown, SC....This never came to be...but I still see myself in that great apartment with high ceilings and exposed brick walls.



























Silly





Must've missed that shot!!



Ha ha I beat Ed!!! Fair and Square
