Absolutely LOVED all the walking this trip entailed - the Natural Bridge was just amazing.. The walk to the falls was relaxing, but a slightly disappointing view since Virginia was in a drought .. But the walk was nice and we did see a Honey Tree with bees buzzing around!!
I really was impressed walking through Luray Caverns and was certainly unforgettable..It’s amazing to see what the Earth can create naturally over time. The formations are stunning, and the entire experience feels surreal...To see all of the stone columns in its natural coloring was amazing with my favorite being the small lakes and seeing the reflections in the water, it looked like a mirror.. I enjoyed listening to some of the guides in the caverns answer our questions.. The food wasn't that great there unfortunately with only one restaurant open..
Our tour guide on Day 2 for the D-Day Memorial knew his history and listening to him talk made you realize how sad it was for so many families losing their loved ones.. The Bedford Boys Tribute Center was somewhat interesting but it seems many of the storylines were repeated with watching the short film and also being told parts again from the elderly gentlemen who LOVED to talk, then the woman started up with a repeat plus adding on additional information on each family.. When started giving lengthy stories on each, I and others started to wander around..
The Hotel was comfortable with wonderful and friendly staff from the desk to the dining room.. A very nice dining room with certainly plenty of food to eat (The flavor was good but the chicken and beef were tough, be prepared to chew)..
a BIG THANK YOU to Renita, our tour guide, and Mohamed, our outstanding driver...Renita was very informative and available to help when needed and enjoyed having conversations with both Renita and Mohamed - he certainly knows how to handle the bus around some crazy roads!!
