I highly recommend this trip if you're interested in history and nature. The small group experience was excellent - only 16 participants - which allowed participants to get to know one another. Terrie Dal Pozzo's outgoing personality really helped make the trip a success. Chris, the naturalist on Cumberland Island was an outstanding teacher, as was the Fort Clinch guide. If you enjoy learning about history and nature, this is an excellent choice.

BOGO! Visiting two diversely different islands, this felt like two trips in one. More bang for your buck.

Cumberland Island is a gem. Not fancy, not exciting, but a step back in time without the distractions found in most places.

September was a wonderful time to be on these islands - not too hot, and certainly not cold. Having read "Untamed" about Carol Ruckdeschel, I was hoping to see her at her home site. Unfortunately I did not, but one member of our group did. It would be interesting if you could get her to make a presentation in future trips.

Cumberland Island is a fascinating and an interesting location. A lot of history and life that I was not aware of.

The Amelia/Cumberland Island trip was a nice blend of history and nature outings. Staying on Cumberland for two days at the Greyfield Inn was far preferable to a quick day trip. Definitely like traveling back in time to the early 1900s.

Greyfield Inn is an old mansion filled with history. One can feel immersed in the glory times past and the imaginings and feelings of how it used to be. The fourth floor bedrooms are really a workout to climb up to so beware, as you will be going up and down them many times during the day. All the rooms are different and have period furniture. Most bathrooms are shared, and a lot have the deep claw foot tubs, which can be a challenge. The library is a wonderful room to read in, and the front porch rockers and swings are a delight to relax and listen to the ocean.

See a part of Florida that has not yet been obliterated by over-development, and a part of Georgia where the Gilded Age past has been preserved. A great learning experience!

To me, the good value of a Road Scholar trip is without question, but this adventure is truly exceptional.
The exploration features compelling history, sun drenched ocean dunes, and delectable food.
One day I'll do it again.
