Florida

Day One

The fun begins as we meet our travelling companions and cross the border into Michigan. We arrive at our hotel in Cincinnati by early evening.

Day Two

The Blue Grass of Kentucky soon gives way to the rolling hills of Tennessee as we leave the snow and cold behind. We spend the night at a lovely hotel just outside Atlanta.

Day Three

The weather warms up as we begin to see cotton fields on the landscapes, and make our way through Georgia’s antebellum region. Many photographs later, we cross the Florida border and spend the night in Gainesville.

Day Four

Today we arrive in St. Petersburg and our hotel, the Dolphin Beach Resort, for a relaxing seven-night stay.

Day Five - Ten

Unpack, relax, and soak up the sun as we spend six full days in this beautiful area. Be as busy or relaxed as you like, since we will offer a multitude of sightseeing, dining and shopping options that you can choose to enjoy, if you wish. The choice is yours! Just some of the options offered include Tarpon Springs, a casino or luncheon cruise, shopping at a mall or outlets, Busch Gardens, Derby Lane Dog Track and more. We’ll get you there in comfort and you pay admission (if applicable) only. If you love to golf, bring your clubs and we’ll arrange tee times for you at one of the area courses.

Days Eleven & Twelve

A relaxing drive takes us to the graceful and charming city of Savannah, where we spend the next two nights. Rich and prosperous, pre-Civil War Savannah was praised by many as the most picturesque and serene city in America, with grand oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. During the Civil War, General Sherman began his march to the sea, burning the city of Atlanta and everything else in his path on the way to the coast. Savannah avoided destruction because Sherman was so impressed by its beauty. A narrated tour of the city on our arrival will show us the beautiful homes, squares, parks, and riverfront of this beautiful city.

Day Thirteen

An interesting inland route takes us through South Carolina and into the city of Jonesville, where we spend the night.

Day Fourteen

Today we enjoy outstanding mountainous scenery as we take a routing through the heart of North Carolina and Virginia, across the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains. We spend our last night together just southwest of Pittsburgh, where we will enjoy a lovely farewell dinner.

Day Fifteen

Before we know it we’ll be crossing the border into Ontario, with wonderful memories and new friends.
