As part of my quest to see the beauty of North America, I was privileged to visit our glorious west coast state of California, on the California Classics with Globus tour. It truly is the Golden State! Looking back on the tour is bittersweet because many of areas we visited have been ravaged by the recent wildfires in the state. My heart aches for California.

My husband hadn’t been to San Francisco before, so we arrived a day early for our tour in order to take in some sights on our own. From China Town to Nob Hill, street car rides to Lombard Street, and Fisherman’s Wharf, we explored the city before we began our tour. The adventure began on Sunday evening with Jason, our expert Travel Director, for a Welcome Reception at the magnificent Hyatt Regency, located across from the old San Francisco ship/ferry terminal in the Embarcadero area.
My son and I recently traveled with Insight Vacations on the Elegance of the East Coast itinerary. This was my second trip with Insight and it was everything that I expected, and more!
We arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City for the start of our tour experience. As we walked into the doors of this historic hotel, we were met by Howie, our Tour Director. Howie sat down with us and presented us with our welcome packet and directed us to your room so that we could relax and freshen up before our welcome dinner. Our room at the hotel was amazing and quite comfortable. That evening, we went to a local restaurant and were treated to a welcome reception with great wine, food and dessert. It was nice to get to know our fellow travelers in this setting.
I had the opportunity to take my 9 year old son on a very special escorted tour of the US East Coast with Trafalgar. The itinerary was called the Trails of Liberty. This family focused guided tour from Trafalgar is a great option for families looking for a vacation packed with learning opportunities as well as safe & fun activities for the kids.
