We depart this morning traveling to the awardwinning resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, synonymous with elegance and service. The Greenbrier is always beautiful, but at Christmas time, the seasonal adornments along with the distinctive décor is just breathtaking! The Greenbrier has hosted distinguished guests from around the world since 1778 and our accommodations await us at this National Landmark. Surrounded by the wondrous Allegheny Mountains, we admire the scenery, the Christmas decorations, and delight in the amenities of this luxurious resort. A coat and tie affair, we enjoy a delicious three course dinner tonight. (D)

A bountiful breakfast is awaiting you this morning in the main dining room. Today you are free to enjoy the offerings of the resort. There will be culinary demonstrations, use of the swimming pool, historic hotel tour, grounds tour, access to Casino Club, and more. There’s the afternoon tea, of course! You may decide to treat yourself in the Spa. The hotel is so rich in history, perhaps the most interesting being the Bunker, or bomb shelter, constructed in the 1950’s to be used by the US Congress in case of war. An optional tour of the Bunker is available. Also optional is golfing on the championship course. We enjoy another dinner tonight. (B, D)

This morning, enjoy another delicious breakfast in the main dining room. Before we leave this area we venture into the nearby town of Lewisburg. The picture-perfect main street offers the finest in southern hospitality, all in a historic setting. Discover a surprising selection of art galleries, award-winning restaurants, sidewalk cafes, antique shops and trendy clothing boutiques. Maybe we’ll find that unusual Christmas gift we’ve been searching for. We make our way home to cherish the lasting memories of this lovely resort. What a wonderful Christmas present we have just given ourselves these past three days! (B)
