Our room rivaled those in many an upscale hotel. Food and table settings were five-star. The list of activities in our temporary home-away-from-home covered a diversity of interests.
We had opportunities to explore inviting towns that provided deep dives into Civil War and other history and to visit magnificent antebellum plantations. Adding to the allure of our Lower Mississippi River Cruise was the chance to explore museums that brought to life prehistoric times, Native American and African American stories, and numerous aspects of life in that corner of the country.
