“The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.”
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Getting rained on once in a while is just a fact of life for the frequent traveler. It can’t always be sunny, right?
I know with full certainty that the Lodge at Little St. Simons Island would’ve been an even better adventure if it hadn’t poured for 92% of my two night stay. How do I know? Because I ventured out in between raindrops (6″ in one day!) a few times and saw almost enough wildlife and beautiful scenery to satisfy the Dora the Explorer in me… almost!
If you haven’t read up on this super lovely, adventurous property in South Georgia, check out Part 1 here.
And now for Part 2! Here are some snaps from our brief island exploration… and don’t forget to scroll all the way down for a rainy day travel giveaway from Go Go Galoshes!
All I really wanted from my time at LSSI was a meeting with a gator, and it didn’t take too long to make that happen, even with the inclement weather. I spotted them everywhere once I started looking.
So how about that rainy day giveaway I promised? A few weeks ago, Go Go Golosh reached out to tell me about their new line of $99 fold-up galoshes – perfect for the traveler caught in the rain. You can wear them over ballet flats or even high heels, and they come with a waterproof carrying case to store them once you’re safely in a dry place. Here’s a video that shows how they work!

So tell me about a time your vacation was rained out… did it wreck your adventure or did you make the best of it?
Machu pichu last day of hike was a pour down. Instead of hiking to tent like rest of group we took the optional scenic route and enjoyed the rain…the views paid off and getting wet wasn’t a deal breaker!
I love all your pictures!! Looks like fun even in the rain!
You Gators and your gator obsessions 😉
What a cool concept for galoshes! I have a pair of Hunters that I love but they practically take up an entire suitcase and therefore are NOT going on the road with me!
I love to vacation but the weather can be very unpredictable! I would love bring have these in my suitcase just in case!
What a gorgeous spot! It is rainy season here, so where you were and the 92 percent rainy days would have been perfect!!
We love spotting alligators! Our favorite place to see them is canoeing on the Hillsborough River near Tampa, FL. And rainy days are fine if you have a dryer waiting for sopping, wet clothes. Soaked jeans while traveling is never fun!
Those fold up rain boots look so cute! Almost as cute as the baby gators…
Ohh! Looks like a cool trip. I’m doing research for my upcoming trip (first time!) to Florida in January. Looks like a cool place–excited to see some gators in the flesh in the States… Thanks for all the great posts.
