There are several entry and access points to allow you to drive either the full length of 102 miles

The group are shipping their own British Jaguar Cars dating from the 1950 s through to a brand new Jaguar XKR-S , the new Jaguar super road car, to the USA (Baltimore) to drive 2000 miles across the north east corner of the USA and eastern Canada.
The cars themselves were shipped luxury hotels in vancouver canada to the USA at the beginning of September and arrived luxury hotels in vancouver canada several days ago, the mechanics have been to the docks prior to me flying out to check that they all arrived safely and to coax them to life!!
I arrive in plenty of time without the stress  of the M25 traffic thanks to John, and within minutes I am in the exclusive luxury hotels in vancouver canada Virgin Lounge enjoying luxury hotels in vancouver canada a glass of champagne and breakfast luxury hotels in vancouver canada and looking forward to the adventures to come.
The Virgin lounge is certainly impressive with the option to eat and drink to your heart s content, chill out playing pool or watching tv, and maybe having a beauty treatment or two to get you in the holiday mood, though this trip for me is of course very much business!!
I board the aircraft and step into the lap of luxury, at CNA we have excellent contracts with all the airlines flying across the Atlantic in every class, so if you wish for extra leg room or are travelling on a special occasion or need your sleep in a flat bed just ask us to check the costs for you, you may be surprised at what good value it is.
Having flown in Business/Club Class with British Airways I would just about give the edge to Virgin s Upper Class by comparison, the service from the crew was excellent, the food amazing, especially when you consider it is served 7 miles in the air and the champagne, wine and water were flowing.
The flight passed so quickly and now for the challenge that is US Customs and Immigration a process that can take minutes or 2 hours depending on how many flights luxury hotels in vancouver canada that have arrived that day this is my lucky day indeed 15 minutes and I am in the baggage hall ahead of my cases.
This evening luxury hotels in vancouver canada I just wish to chill out and prepare for the group arriving and I arrange to meet our partners in the USA who have made the hotel reservations for us due to the complexity of the itinerary.
Ironically luxury hotels in vancouver canada all six passengers due to arrive on United Airlines flights have had problems as their aircraft from Manchester luxury hotels in vancouver canada and Edinburgh went technical, thankfully the four from Manchester are routed via Heathrow and arrive the same day, but the two from Edinburgh will be delayed a until tomorrow.
The group arrive from the Virgin Atlantic flight, and like me, clear customs amazingly quickly and are with us surprisingly soon, the coaches we have booked are waiting outside in the 80 degree luxury hotels in vancouver canada temperatures and we are soon whisked off to the Wardman Tower.
Tonight we hold a welcome drinks reception at 6pm, a chance for old friends to catch up and a chance for the new members to make new acquaintances, overall a very successful night as all the group, despite their long travels, are in perky moods looking forward to their exploration of this section of the continent.
luxury hotels in vancouver canada Today is a free day to visit this stunning capital city, many of the group are pre-booked onto the Hop On Hop Off Bus to give them access to the key sights, while many others choose to make their own separate arrangements.
Tomorrow is going to be quite a critical day as the drivers are transported to the docks at Baltimore to collect their cars and drive back to the hotel, for a few their first driving experience in the USA!! could be a stressful day for all!!!!
The big day arrives, all the drivers are transported on one coach and their partners on a separate one as only the drivers will be allowed into the docks to collect their cars, their co-drivers having to wait patiently.
Today is the first proper luxury hotels in vancouver canada day on the road as we head on a picturesque journey along The Skyline Drive of Virginia, over a 100 miles of slow paced driving with magnificent views especially with the vast array of foliage colours at this time of year.
The Caverns are a huge attraction, guided tours operate throughout the day explaining how they were founded and evolved to their present state, the tickets purchased also include access to a small car museum with some amazing American vehicles to check over.
There are several entry and access points to allow you to drive either the full length of 102 miles or just drive sections, the speed limit is 35 mph so driving the full distance, with stops for photos luxury hotels in vancouver canada can take half a day.
We drop off the route at its end and head for Staunton to The Stonewall Jackson Hotel, a superb property and the very efficient luxury hotels in vancouver canada team at the hotel ensure we are all checked in smoothly luxury hotels in vancouver canada and the cars are safely luxury hotels in vancouver canada parked.
The event that has been planned for several months was supposed to be held outside luxury hotels in vancouver canada with the cars from each club coming together to talk about each others cars and share a meal outside Fort Bedford by the side of the river, followed by a covered bridge tour around Bedford County.
We re-schedule the afternoon therefore luxury hotels in vancouver canada to make the best of the situation, luxury hotels in vancouver canada the group meet at the Fort Museum for a very interesting visit and then we lead two convoys around the county to see their famous covered bridges and other sights of interest.
It continues to rain, ironic really as the last time I visited on my Reccy trip it rained here too!!! So we all settle in the local church for a fabulous meal prepared by the ladies and gents of the local club, and finally an opportunity for the members of each club to share their stories and experiences.
The plan was to park the cars on the front lawn of the hotel for a fabulous photo opportunity, however this is not a realistic option due to the amount of rain that has fallen, but a few cars certainly did some damage to the coiffured lawns!!!
A long drive of over 270 miles today and a border crossing into Canada which can be so unpredictable time wise, so the cars get packed up early and on the road, thankfully the weather is a little better today, overcast but dry.
The drive is beautiful directly north through Pennsylvania and ultimately into Ontario, Canada, thankfully for us all the border crossing was a breeze, and most cars are parked up at the stunning Prince of Wales Hotel in Niagara on the Lake by mid-afternoon.
We chose to place the group for the next two nights in Niagara on the Lake instead of the Niagara Falls due to the quality of the hotel  and the peaceful upmarket nature of the town which matches the group better than the lively areas around Niagara luxury hotels in vancouver canada Falls.
This is a two night stay, and most of the group, as you would expect set off to see the Falls, this was my plan too until I heard it was pouring with rain as it was the last time I visited, I therefore hang around the town catching up with preparations for future events on the tour.
It can be tricky for restaurants and hotels to ensure the so many people are served quickly and efficiently especially in this case where steak is on the menu and cooked to each individuals liking but the hotel coped admirably and the whole event was a superb success.
We arrive into Bedford early afternoon to set up ready for the group arriving, luxury hotels in vancouver canada they don t travel in convoy, and therefore arrive on each travelling day at various times depending on what has interested them along the way, or how long a lunch stop has taken or even if they have got lost, the window of arrival is usually about four hours.
Tonight everyone is free to go their own way, so I step out into town with Mike and Henry our two tour mechanics for a couple of cheeky beers and a red hot pizza which Mike now regrets having a slice of!!!
This morning we have a car meet with the local Kingston Car Club which results in approximately 70 cars lining up on the village green in the suburbs of the City to show off each others cars and have a chat about anything mechanical.
There are a range of Jaguars that come to visit that are Canadian based along with other makes, the weather holds out for us too, so this proves to be an excellent event, one which I had been working on with my friend Stephen Burnett and they even have the kindness to provide a fabulous lunch for the Jaguar Enthusiast s from the UK.
Next stop Ottawa. total driving distance today is just 120 miles and split into three parts.  It is not mandatory that the group travels along the exact route suggested nor visit the suggested locations along the way, but many of the drivers choose to follow the roadbook we published and first visit Jones Falls.
Slight problem here in that the unpaved road leading to the locks are soon blocked by a pack of Jaguars!! as we arrive at the wrong entrance, so much fun turning them all around to point in the right direction to get out and head up to the next suggested stop at Smiths Falls, Ontario Russ Beach Airport.
The airport is home to a flying school but we are all there to visit the amazing air museum which houses a dozen rare aircraft, all of which still fly  and we are met by the two local mayors for a civic reception along with several reporters luxury hotels in vancouver canada from the local newspaper and radio station.
Enroute to the museum one of the cars overtakes a school bus, this is of course no problem in most cases, but if the lights have started flashing it is illegal to overtake on either luxury hotels in vancouver canada side of the road, within seconds a police car is on his tail and pulling him over.
The penalty luxury hotels in vancouver canada for such an offence is a minimum $500 fine and six penalty points - thankfully the police officer luxury hotels in vancouver canada who s uncle is restoring an old Jaguar Car is sympathetic and lets our driver off with a stern warning so remember when driving in the USA or Canada, if you see a school bus with lights flashing you must stop!!
We all complete the final leg of the journey safely into The Westin Hotel in Ottawa, thanks to a poor breakfast in one of the previous hotels (that will remain nameless!!) we have funds for a couple of welcome luxury hotels in vancouver canada drinks at The Westin in a fabulous suite on the 23rd Floor with amazing views over the Capital luxury hotels in vancouver canada City of Canada.
This morning I wake early, yet again, and make a call to Gray Line, the bus company pro
