Airport. Here you will board your flight to Philadelphia, PA. Today
is a designated travel day; upon arrival in Philadelphia, you are met
by your tour director, touring coach and driver for a short ride to the
hotel.
Day 2: Wed. Oct. 3: Today we travel into the historic area of
Philadelphia. This morning’s walking tour, escorted by a local
guide, will bring us past and into historic buildings. Our guide will
entertain us with stories of the historic events that took place here.
We visit Independence Mall including the Liberty Bell, Congress
Hall, and Independence Hall. A short stop at Ben Franklin’s grave
and other historic sites will help us envision where the seeds of
Democracy were planted, and where our forefathers came together to
write our Constitution and Declaration of Independence. Enjoy a visit
to the National Park Visitor’s Center as well. Late this afternoon we
travel to New Jersey, just outside of New York City, our home for
two nights. *Tonight you have the option of a relaxing evening in the
hotel, riding the bus into Manhattan for an evening on your own or an
optional Broadway Show. Cost for the bus and show will be an
additional $125-$150 per person* Broadway Show TBA. (CB)
*Day 2 - Optional Theater Night: Please indicate on your reg. form if you would be

Day 3: Thur. Oct. 4: We begin our day with a ferry ride past the
Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island, “The Gateway to America”. At this
magnificent National Park a self-guided tour, optional Audio or a
Ranger Guided Tour will help you discover the history of this
magnificent building. The museum tells a fantastic story of the
immigrants who gave everything to start a new life in this country.
This afternoon, we meet back at the motorcoach where our local
guide will tour us through Manhattan Island driving through wellknown sights such as Central Park, Wall Street, Garment District,
Ground Zero, Grand Central Station, Lincoln Center, and South
Seaport. We end our day at Rockefeller Center, and take the
elevators to the “Top of the Rock” for a beautiful view of the skyline
of New York City at night. (CB)
Day 4: Fri. Oct. 5: This Morning we drive north from Manhattan up
the Hudson River Valley, continuing on to West Point, NY for a
guided tour of the United States Military Academy at West Point.
From the day of its founding on March 16, 1802, West Point has
grown in its size and stature, but it remains committed to the task of
producing commissioned leaders of character for America's Army.
Following our tour, we drive to the Boston area where we stay for two
nights. (CB)
Day 5: Sat. Oct. 6: This morning we enjoy Boston. History comes
alive today as a local guide escorts us along the Freedom Trail,
which includes The Old North Church, Paul Revere Statue and
other famous Boston Sites. This afternoon, a scenic drive brings us to
Lexington to view the Green where the first shots of the
Revolutionary War were fired. At nearby Concord, we visit the Old
North Bridge, site of “the shot heard round the world.” We again
overnight in the Boston area. We end the day at Faneuil Hall. (B, D)
Day 6: Sun. Oct. 7 – Today we travel north into New Hampshire.
You will especially enjoy our drive on the Kancamagus Scenic
Byway. This drive offers one of the most beautiful routes through
New Hampshire's White Mountains. The road meanders through vast
forests, old logging roads, and Indian hunting paths. Visitors know it
as one of the world's most spectacular fall-foliage trips, but a stunning
spectrum of color underscores the region's natural beauty year round.
A stop at the Flume State Park Visitors Center in the Franconia
Notch will familiarize us further with this area of New Hampshire.
Continuing on, we travel to Bath, NH to visit the Oldest General
Store in US, “Bricks General Store.” After a visit to the store it is just
a short walk to the “longest covered bridge in NH.” Later this
afternoon we learn about one of Vermont’s industries, with a guided
tour of the world’s largest working Granite Quarry. We overnight in
Vermont. (B)
Day 7: Mon. Oct. 8: We start our day with a stop at an authentic
Maple Sugar Farm where you have a chance to taste and buy
delicious Vermont Maple Syrup and candy. It’s then off to
Vermont’s State Capitol; at 140 years old, it is still a beautifully
maintained historic building. The Governor’s Office, a ceremonial
room, welcomes visitors as does the rest of the capitol with guides to
show us around. After an included lunch, we tour the world famous
Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory; you will have the opportunity to
taste, too! Next we are off to Lake George. Nestled in the
Adirondacks, it is one the premier vacations spots in the state of New
York. (CB, L)
Day 8: Tues. Oct. 9: This morning we leave Lake George and
continue our journey west though beautiful upstate New York to
Niagara Falls, ON. Once we cross the border into Canada, (have your
passports or passport cards ready), we’ll check into our hotel on the
beautiful Ontario side of the falls. Our next stop: Niagara Falls for a
boat ride on the “Maid of the Mist.” Feel the mist on your face; hear
the roar of the falls, this boat ride is sure to increase your appreciation
of the magnitude of “the falls.” After dark we’ll visit the
“Illuminated Falls,” a unique and colorful view of the falls at night,
providing the perfect photo opportunity. (B)
Day 9: Wed. Oct. 10: This morning will bring us to the Table Rock
House Visitors Center. Here you can view the falls from above,
another great vantage point. Free time at this visitor’s center will
give you the opportunity to browse for souvenirs, or take an optional
“Behind the Falls Tour.” Next continue on to the Floral Clock where
a great photo opportunity awaits us at this beautiful clock made
entirely from thousands of flowers planted in a clock design, with
Westminster Chimes ringing out. We then make our way to Niagaraon-the-Lake, often called the loveliest town in Ontario. Here we
have time to have lunch, browse the many gift shops, wine and coffee
shops in this quaint village. We then visit the St. Catherine’s
Museum to learn about the Welland Ship Canal. Built in the
1830’s, the canal allows ships to bypass Niagara Falls as they make
their way between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. We overnight in
London, ON (B)
Day 10 &11: Thur. Oct. 11 & 12: We begin our journey home as
our adventure comes to a close. Tonight we overnight in Illinois. As
we travel, we reflect on the excitement of New York City, the early
American history in and around Boston & Philadelphia, the splendid
scenery of the New England States, and the majestic Niagara Falls.
We realize that part of the enjoyment of this trip has been sharing the
experiences with old and new friends. The big cities, quaint villages,
natural beauty, brilliant autumn colors and friendships will remain
with us long after we arrive home.
