We depart Jacksonville airport and our optional pre-tour hotel at 11am for the short drive to St Augustine with lunch at the Columbia Restaurant with its award winning Spanish and Cuban cuisine. Later, a historic district tour with many buildings dating to the 1700's and filled with dining and shopping choices with the balance of the evening at leisure.
Today we explore St Augustine with visits to the ancient fort, Castillo de San Marcos, and the Lightner Museum, renowned for its collection including lamps by Louis Comfort Tiffany, American and European paintings, geological specimens, sea shells, and mechanical musical instruments of the Victorian Era. And later today, a sunset cruise with great views of St Augustine.
The phrase all savvy travelers enjoy applies today "all day at leisure” for you to enjoy at your own pace, interrupted only by an included lunch. There is time to explore the historic district, visit the nearby Lighthouse, golf, take a dip in the ocean or visit the San Sebastian Winery to name just a few options.
After breakfast, a short drive to Orlando to board Brightline, the newest and most exciting idea in train travel in the USA in decades.
