Things to think about:
Transportation. If you are flying and want to share your info (arrival time, airline & flight number) with other fliers, perhaps we can reduce rentals and taxis by picking a few up?
Museum Hours. The 8th AF museum is closed on Monday (arrival day) https://www.mightyeighth.org/
Activities. If visiting the sites, plan ahead to find out operating times, transportation options, cost, reservation requirements, and restrictions (if any). Visitor link – Savannah Top Things to Do
