Thur., Mar. 18

Enjoy breakfast (included), then check out of the hotel and board the motor coach. The tour will pass by "Ground Zero" for club members to pay respect. Then it's off to Battery Park, located at the lower end of Manhattan, to board the Circle Line Ferry for a cruise to Liberty Island to visit the Statue of Liberty. We'll then take a ferry to Ellis Island, a landmark symbolizing America's immigrant heritage. The Museum is self-guided, with three floors of audio/visual displays telling the history of US immigration from 1912 to 1954. One can also see the Wall of Honor with the names of immigrants who arrived to America through Ellis Island. Perhaps you will find the name of your parents or grandparents on this Wall of Honor. From the ferry we return to Battery Park, where the motorcoach will "carry us back to ole' Virginni!"
