DAY 1: Welcome aboard our deluxe motorcoach as we begin our 9-day Fall Colors of New England. As we become acquainted, we will travel through the beautiful Shenandoah Valley on our way to our first overnight stay, Gettysburg, PA.

DAY 2: Excitement fills the air this morning as we board our motorcoach for a narrated tour, by a Licensed Battlefield Guide, of the historic Gettysburg Battlefield. We'll learn interesting facts and figures about the battles that forever changed the destiny of American history. Following our tour of the battlefield, we will visit the nearby country home of the late President and Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower. After our lunch stop, we will travel to Lancaster, PA. Here a local guide will join us and familiarize us with the beautiful Amish countryside, as well as the culture and faith of the "Plain People." Overnight will be in Lancaster. (D)

DAY 3: After a restful night, we'll bid our new-found Amish friends farewell and board our motorcoach to continue our journey northward, passing through Reading & Allentown, PA to our destination in ALBONY, NY, our overnight stay.

DAY 4: Today we will enjoy a leisurely drive through the colorful Adirondack mountains. These are the world's oldest mountains, a complete range in themselves, and not part of the Appalachian chain as is often assumed. The region includes Adirondack National Park, with forest on all horizons. Early afternoon finds us in Lake Placid, NY, the "Winter Wonderland," of New York and the site of the 1932 & 1980 Winter Olympics. Following a tour of the Lake Region, we will check into our magnificent hotel for the evening.(D)

DAY 5: This morning, our adventure continues with a ferry ride across beautiful Lake Champlain to Burlington, VT. We will drive across Vermont to its capital city, Montpelier. Following a brief picture stop at the impressive capitol building , we will cross the Connecticut River into the White Mountains of New Hampshire. An afternoon drive to our overnight stop in NH, will hopefully be rewarded by the dazzling fall colors for which this area is particularly noted.(B)

DAY 6: This morning finds us traveling through the southeastern tip of Maine, where we will make some brief picture stops along this scenic seacoast drive. By noon we will arrive in historic Boston, where a local guide will board our coach for an enlightening and informative tour of this bustling city. Some of the sights included in our tour along The Freedom Trail are the Old North Church, "Old Ironsides," at the Boston Navy Yard, Beacon Hill, the original Statehouse, the city's business district and much more! Following our tour, we will drive a short distance to Plymouth. It was here the Pilgrims, in search of religious freedom, sought refuge in the New World in 1620. We will make a brief picture stop at Plymouth Rock before checking into our hotel for the evening. Tonight we will experience a New England lobster dinner. (A substitution will be made for those who do not eat seafood.) (D)

DAY 7: A special treat awaits us this morning as we depart Plymouth and drive to Newport, Rhode Island. Newport's fame as a summer resort began after the Civil War when many wealthy families made the town a center for lavish and sometimes outrageous social events. Parties for dogs were among the more bizarre occasions. Today Newport is famous for its boating and yachting, and for the restoration and preservation of its many historic mansions. While here, we will visit the Breakers, a 70-room summer home built in 1895 for millionaire Cornelius Vanderbilt. The architecture resembles 16th century Northern Italian palaces and the beautifully landscaped grounds overlook the Atlantic Ocean. Afterwards we will cross the scenic Narragansett Bay and drive through Connecticut, to New Jersey, where our overnight accommodations await our arrival.

DAY 8: This morning we will depart and travel across the Delaware River into PA and south to, WVA. Where accommodations await our arrival. (D)

DAY 9: All good things must come to an and so is the case of our New England Fall Colors experience.(B)
