Fly from the UK to Washington, DC, USA.

Kick off your adventure at The Churchill Hotel in Washington, DC, where history and modernity meet in the heart of the nation’s capital. By day, explore iconic landmarks like the Smithsonian Museums and the National Mall. But save your energy for the real highlight—a Monuments by Night Tour! Watch the city’s majestic memorials come to life under the moonlight, offering a whole new perspective on the city’s storied past. You might even catch a glimpse of Honest Abe’s shadow stretching across the reflecting pool!

Nestled in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Mimslyn Inn in Shenandoah is your gateway to nature’s grand display. Spend your days hiking the scenic trails of Shenandoah National Park, where panoramic vistas and cascading waterfalls await. Keep an eye out for wildlife—deer, bears, and the occasional curious squirrel. After a day of outdoor adventure, unwind at the inn with a glass of local Virginia wine. It’s the perfect blend of rustic charm and southern hospitality.

Welcome to Roanoke, where the spirit of the Blue Ridge Mountains permeates every corner. Staying at The Hotel Roanoke, a Tudor-style gem, you’re just steps away from the vibrant city market and the ever-popular Roanoke Star. Take a moment to absorb the breathtaking views of the Roanoke Valley from this iconic mountaintop landmark. Roanoke’s charm is contagious, and you might find yourself humming along to the local bluegrass tunes that seem to fill the air.

Richmond, Virginia's capital, is a city with stories to tell. Walk along the cobblestone streets of Shockoe Slip and feel the echoes of the past, or visit the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts for a touch of culture. Richmond’s vibrant food scene is a must—try some Southern comfort food that will have you loosening your belt with a smile. Richmond is a city that blends the old with the new, much like a generous pour of sweet tea.

Step back in time at Williamsburg Lodge, your gateway to the 18th century. Williamsburg is a living history museum where the past is ever-present. Stroll through Colonial Williamsburg and interact with costumed interpreters who bring history to life. Don't forget to visit the Governor’s Palace and perhaps try your hand at an old-world craft. By the end of the day, you might just feel like you’ve time-travelled—powdered wigs and all!

The Historic Cavalier Hotel and Beach Club in Virginia Beach is where timeless elegance meets oceanfront adventure. Wake up to the sound of waves, then spend your days basking on the golden sands or strolling along the lively boardwalk lined with shops, cafés, and street performers. Discover the city’s fascinating maritime history, from historic lighthouses to nautical museums, before savouring just-caught seafood with sweeping ocean views. Whether you’re chasing the sunrise, riding the waves, or simply unwinding with a cocktail in hand, Virginia Beach offers the perfect blend of relaxation and coastal charm.

End your journey at the Rod 'N' Reel Resort, where Chesapeake Beach’s laid-back charm takes centre stage. Whether you’re angling for the big catch or simply enjoying the seaside serenity, this is the place to unwind. Explore the Chesapeake Bay’s maritime heritage or take a leisurely stroll along the beach. Evenings are perfect for a seafood feast, and perhaps a cheeky cocktail or two, as you toast to the adventures of the Capital Region and Blue Ridge Mountains.
