Three Southern Trips of a Lifetime
January 22, 2010
These vacations are more than just a quick escape―Millionaire's Row at the Kentucky Derby, royal pampering at Blackberry Farm, and floating through canyons with a gourmet chef.
Kentucky Derby
Join in Louisville's many parties and parades leading up to this fashion-filled horse race. Sing "My Old Kentucky Home" with a 150,000-person chorus before witnessing first-hand some of the world's most beautiful horses compete in the Run for the Roses.

Rio Grande Gourmet Rafting Trip
Leave civilization behind for a sophisticated three-day float down limestone canyon walls along the Rio Grande in Texas. A guide will handle the paddling, and a Swiss-born chef will more than satisfy your palate with unique alfresco dining.
