During my first cruise I was telling James and Chris that I have always wanted to go to New Orleans. They told me they had an idea and they would call me back once they worked it out literally within two days I was booked for New Orleans for a total of eight days plus my cruise and I was so scared that it would be hard to navigate everything at once but with the way they set it up it went flawless. Below are some photos of my amazing trip, be sure to reach out to them you will not regret it.

Staunton's Amtrak station has been a part of the city's rail life for well over a century, with a…read moredepot on this site since 1854 and the current station building dating to 1902. Today, it's served by Amtrak's Cardinal, the long-distance route running three days a week between New York and Chicago. The next station towards New York is Charlottesville and the next station towards Chicago is Clifton Forge. The station itself is small and unstaffed, but the surrounding setup makes it feel more welcoming than you'd expect from a modest single-platform stop. There's a surprisingly fancy restaurant inside the historic station building, and outside you'll find plenty of seating that makes waiting for the train easy. Parking i limited, and while short-term spots are available, it's not clear whether leaving a car here for an extended period is allowed. Nothing on-site makes that obvious. There is no signage with a schedule posted or the status of the train, but you can use your Amtrak app to see when the next train is coming and how late it is. All in all, it's a charming little stop with more character than most small-town stations, even if the logistics take a moment to figure out. [Review 1215 of 2026 - 1580 in Virginia - 26394 overall]

Wayside at Big Meadows was terrible barely edible. Black bean burger was undercooked with no flavor. Fries were cold and soggy. Mashed potatoes were gluey. Fried chicken was the only decent food. Pizza at the taproom was cheap frozen pizza with enough cheese for 3 pies, but so undercooked the cheese did not fully melt. The grocery store, and I used the term loosely, was worse than a 7-11. No tortilla chips? Really? The main dining room at Big Meadows was good. Food was fresh, hearty, perfectly good. Obviously not the same food purveyors as the rest.

The Mountain Greens course at Massanutten Resort is the best golf within one hour of…read moreCharlottesville this year. And I'm talking courses where the public can play without paying an arm and a leg. The course was immaculate today, and I was happy to meet the Superintendent (Paul Marshall) out on the course to tell him so. It has been a long hot summer, and some of my favorites are lagging, but not "The Nut". Tee boxes and beautiful bent grass fairways are lush, and the greens are presently in the best shape I've seen them in five years playing here. The scenery alone makes the course worth a look. It is the most difficult course I play, and if you want to introduce a visitor to Virginia mountain golf, this would be a good place if they are not heavy slicers. With few exceptions, every fairway is sloped left to right, with uncleared "wild" forest awaiting on either side of fairways; typically a steep drop down on the right side. And these fairways....some of them seem narrow enough to spit across. You need to be able to hit draws to get the most out of your driver, and there are a couple (#1 and #9 come to mind) where you really do need a hook. I mean....nothing like a sharp dogleg left with the fairway sloping away from you to the right. Right?!? No matter what you think you are reading on the greens, you need to know where the mountain is because your putt is going to roll away from it. Really, the first four holes are an endurance test - get through them and you know at least that you are past the worst. This is a resort, and the clientele includes people who have never seen a golf course and mistake the cart paths for walking trails. So....that does not seem like fun? Well, if you're worried about your handicap, the course is rated appropriately. If you feel like you need a low score that day, maybe try somewhere else. But if you want to be challenged by an excellent course, this is the best. A wide VSGA window makes this a bargain even on weekends at $35 with cart. Without the card, $69 on weekends for guests is tough to argue with. Grant yourself some mulligans, and have fun with it!
