East Coast Discovery Tour Itinerary

(You should be in good physical health and be capable of walking up to 4 or 5 miles in a day - or more.)

We do our best to establish our travel itinerary early, but there can be circumstances beyond our control that occasionally force us to make changes. Here is our updated proposed itinerary for the 2011 East Coast Experience tour.  Please realize that all of the items listed are not guaranteed as changes may have to be made at the last minute.  ALL MEALS are included EVERY DAY.
