Mackinac Island
Located in Lake Huron, this island resort area was once the home to a Native American settlement before European settlement began in the 17th century. The entire island is listed as a National Historic Landmark and 80% of the land is preserved as a state park. For the most part, motor vehicles have been prohibited on the island since 1898 adding to the resort's appeal.
Grand Hotel
Stay for two nights in one of North America's most impressive hotels - the legendary Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island. Built during America's Gilded Age, the Grand Hotel is an elegantly designed Victorian lodge made from Michigan white pine. The grand opening of the Grand Hotel took place on July 10, 1887 - with room rates starting at $3.00 a night. Guests arrive and depart the hotel by horse-drawn carriage – a romantic and whimsical nod to a simpler era. As you approach the majestic manor, the first thing you'll notice is the hotel's seemingly endless front porch. At 600 feet in length, it is the longest porch in the world. Five U.S. Presidents - Bill Clinton, George H. W. Bush, Gerald Ford, John Kennedy and Harry Truman - have all stayed at the Grand Hotel. The 1979 motion picture, Somewhere in Time, in which Christopher Reeve’s and Jane Seymour’s characters found love across time, was filmed here. Every October, fans of the film gather at the hotel for a weekend. Esther Williams’ 1949 film, This Time for Keeps, was also shot at the hotel. The heated 220 foot, serpentine shaped, 500,000 gallon swimming pool is named in her honor. Your stay at this historic landmark is sure to be the highlight of your trip!

Chicago
Located on Lake Michigan Chicago is the third largest city in the United States. During the 1800s Chicago grew at a phenomenal rate as it was perfectly positioned to take advantage of trading and commerce in connection with the country's westward expansion. Chicago was the beginning/end of historic Route 66. Today its skyline is dominated by one of the tallest buildings in the country, the Sears Tower, and surrounded by a mosaic of ethnic neighborhoods.
Millennium Park
Devastated by the Great Fire of 1871, Chicago pushed much of the debris from this tragedy into landfill for some of the city's most distinctive locations, including Millennium Park. Today this park is the city's largest green space. Featuring the famous Cloud Gate, Lurie Garden and the Crown Fountain, this is a space for residents and visitors alike.
