f you love a vacation that includes icons of American history, landscapes from the ocean to the mountains, historic homes, gardens and Southern hospitality, then visit Virginia in 2011. Travel through four centuries of history and you’ll discover that Virginia lies at the centre of America’s most important eras - the American Revolution, westward expansion, the Civil War and the Civil Rights era. More battles of the Civil War were fought in Virginia
I
than any other state; Virginia will host special programmes, re-enactments and exhibitions during the next four years as it commemorates the 150th anniversary of the war in 2011. The state’s natural beauty swells
from coastal lowlands to rolling hills and then to mountainous highlands in the west. The Atlantic Ocean provides sun and fun at Virginia Beach and the Eastern Shore. The Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountains unveil hiking trails, cabins, mountain resorts and gorgeous views. Drive
the world-famous Blue Ridge Parkway and also follow Virginia’s official byways for picturesque small towns. The state’s large cities such as Richmond, Alexandria, near Washington, D.C. Virginia Beach and Roanoke differ in flavour, cuisine, nightlife and attractions but all offer the warm and inviting hospitality Virginia is known for.
STATE SECRET... Shenandoah National Park celebrates 75 years in 2011. The nation’s only linear national park is known for Skyline Drive, a mountaintop highway running north to south, as well as hiking trails, wildlife, camping and cabins, and beautiful vistas.
DON'T MISS... Historic Garden Week in Virginia, April 16-23, 2011, when more than 250 of Virginia’s most beautiful gardens, homes and historic landmarks open for tours during “America’s Largest Open House.” Historic Garden Week is a statewide celebration held at the height of springtime colour.
Virginia offers some stunning landscapes and some fabulous beachside resorts
villages, picturesque mountain landscapes, and its friendly people. With an abundance of recreation opportunities, cultural explorations, historical sites, culinary treats, agricultural heritage, and plenty of time and space to relax, Vermont is truly a special place. Take up the invitation to discover the beauty that is Vermont, and you will also rediscover yourself. Visit in the fall and the combination
which begins as winter wanes. Bulbs sprout from the ground, buds spring from branches, then before you know it, the land turns lush, the waters run deep, and the gardens are in bloom. In summer visitors can head to the swimming holes and ice cream parlours, outdoor concerts and mountain trails for hikes or bike rides during long days at a relaxed pace. Welcome to Vermont.
DON'T MISS... Fall in Vermont! Nowhere else will you find such stunning fall foliage – entire mountainsides ablaze in bursting colours from north to south. The best time to visit for this is generally late September through mid-October. Unforgettable!
that the classic images of winter really are pure Vermont? Springtime is maple sugar season
STATE SECRET... Vermont has a high concentration of sugar maple trees – these make for great fall foliage and are the very same trees that give the 'must-try' maple syrup.
