This trip is so exciting it will make birds sing, wolves howl, pigs snort, flowers bloom and waterfalls fall. It's so unique that the sun will be warmer, the stars brighter, and the sky bluer. You'll go back in time and you'll want to come back in the future because this trip offers SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, LOTS OF VARIETY and CONSTANT SURPRISES. Oh, and you'll enjoy a WONDERFUL "BIG" LUNCH too.
A note from your tour director, Lyn: Somewhere, out there, in the state of Tennessee where I've NEVER taken you before, is the perfect place to laugh, learn, love and be loved!....a well kept secret treasure that offers hours of pure, unadulterated FUN you'll never forget! You'll want to dress casually and wear comfortable sturdy shoes. There will be a moderate amount of walking at your own pace but absolutely NO hiking, hill-climbing, high-stepping or swinging from grapevines. This trip is at least 90 percent handicap accessible. Now get ready to celebrate the beginning of summer ~ grab your spirit of adventure, your best attitude and TRUST your familiar tour director Lyn, as she features a "Mystery Trip" that will be long-remembered and great fun for everyone! P.S. Don't be asking for hints and highlights because this description is already packed full of them!
