The delectable past is present on these journeys in search of historic American places hardly touched by time... and for that purpose, it would be hard to find a better place than little Mackinac Island off the northern tip of Michigan, where they banned cars in the late 19th century (because they scared the horses) and haven’t let them back since... where the island’s scenic Victorian houses and streets routinely melt the hearts of visitors almost as efficaciously as its famous chocolate fudge... or head south instead, to the legendary grande dames – Savannah and Charleston – where history and antebellum elegance meet the eye in classic settings of moss-draped trees, grand old Southern mansions, horse-drawn carriages, lush gardens, cobblestone streets and fine old hotels, and the warmth of welcome never fails, even when there’s a slight autumn breeze in the air.


Charleston / Savannah


Your taste of the classic elegance and hospitality of the South begins at the famous Jekyll Island Club Hotel, once an exclusive retreat for 19th-century robber barons (if those walls could talk!)... Drive to nearby St. Simon’s Island, then on to Savannah for a traditional Madeira party and dinner at a historic bistro; your hotel, The Hyatt Regency Savannah, overlooks the waterfront. Tour Savannah’s landmark


district, rich in architectural beauty and history, with its unrivaled collection of over 1,000 preserved buildings... visit Fort Pulaski, site of a famous Civil War battle... enjoy a night at the Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort, where you’ll explore the roots of Gullah culture (from Africa to the Carolina coast) in folktales by a master storyteller... arrive at Charleston and The Mills House Hotel (a gracious landmark offering Southern hospitality and charm for over 150 years)... take a cruise on the harbor, explore the city’s cobblestone streets, lined with exquisitely preserved mansions and gardens draped in wisteria; visits include the legendary military school, The Citadel, and the Battery. And as for plantations? Visit Drayton Hall, an 18th-century plantation house, and Middleton Place – home to America’s oldest landscaped gardens.
