Depart this morning aboard the 'Adirondack' train, a pretty ride along the Hudson River and later in the day along Lake Champlain, a day journey of great beauty.

Burlington is a town situated on Lake Champlain and you have all day to savor it with a visit to Shelburne Museum, the top attraction in Burlington followed by a visit to the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory. Later there is time to explore downtown Burlington and the Church St Marketplace where naturally, we have included a visit to the original Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream shop.

A marvelous day as we drive to nearby Stowe at the foot of MT Mansfield with time to tour its historic village and we have even planned a stop at the von Trapp Family Lodge & Resort, inspired by the family in 'The Sound of Music'. It offers mountain vistas and we have included a visit to the von Trapp Brewing Bierhall to sample their justly von Trapp Brewing Lagers.

Time at sea.

We dock in New York and disembark after breakfast.
