We'll tour the mansions and gardens of the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC and enjoy lunch there in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Then we arrive at the coastal city of Charleston, where the Old South lives on. Here the 300 year old Old District still thrives with stately mansions and southern hospitality. We'll take in the Middleton Plantation, Fort Sumter, a tea plantation, the only one in the U.S., and much more with a local guide to show us the sights. Next is the city of Savannah, where history and southern charm are everywhere. We'll visit Paula Dean's ''Lady and Sons Restaurant'' as well as the city markets, the riverfront and take a guided tour of Jekyll Island. We'll even stop at a Vadalia Onion farm in Vadalia, Georgia!
On the way home we will be "All Shook Up" as we stop in Memphis to tour Graceland, Elvis' home. All meals, hotels, tips, attractions, motor coach transportation - every last thing (other than your own shopping and five fast food stops) is included as well as trip insurance (for health reasons). All 10 days for $2292.00 per person. To save your spot, we need a $200.00 deposit per person. Please call or e-mail
