Well-Traveled Couple Celebrate Milestone Birthdays by Chartering Luxury Motorcoach with Private Driver for Awe-Inspiring National Parks Tour

Frank and Sherri G. were getting ready to celebrate milestone birthdays – he was turning 80 and she was turning 65.

The Scottsdale couple likes to vacation in September, and most of their trips have been to Europe, but this year, Frank had a different idea.

“It dawned on me that I had not seen the national parks in our country,” Frank said. “It was something Sherri wanted to do, too.”

Years ago, Sherri had wanted to buy an RV and travel around the country, but Frank was concerned he could not manage and maintain it. They decided to research how to rent a luxury motorcoach with a private driver and plan a trip to visit some of the national parks with their dog, Arlo, a 20-pound Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

Their research led them to LiTRV – Luxury in Travel, and after some conversations with both co-owners, Mike Bloomquist and Jim Colletti, the couple decided to plan their trip with LiTRV.

“We found them to be very straightforward, and we had a good, warm and fuzzy feeling about both of them,” Frank said. 

Awed by America’s Natural Beauty

Because they had never traveled in any type of RV before, Frank and Sherri leaned on LiTRV to help assess which type of luxury motorcoach would be best for their trip. They also appreciated having LiTRV’s concierge, Mandy, help them plan their itinerary to Arches National Park, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef and Zion National Park in Utah, the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, and Monument Valley, a Navajo Tribal Park located on the Navajo Nation. Their adventure included special excursions, including jeep tours, sunset wildlife tours, stargazing, and other private, guided tours. 

Frank said the vacation on a luxury motorcoach to so many beautiful destinations exceeded their expectations. 

“The parks were beautiful…they were all unique. Everything was new and fresh,” he said. “Prior to this trip, Sherri’s favorite vacation was to Africa, where we spent three weeks on safari. When we came home, she said that this trip to the national parks may be her favorite vacation. She really loved it.”

From the geysers, mud pots and wildlife at Yellowstone to the striking, “incredible” rock formations of Arches, it is hard for them to say which park was their favorite. 

Frank said they loved them all, and he was especially glad they were able to see Monument Valley. 

“I grew up watching John Ford’s western cowboy movies, and I always wanted to see Monument Valley in person,” he said. “That was a very special day for me.” 

Peace of Mind with Their Private Driver

Frank credits LiTRV with going above and beyond to make their vacation memorable, and he was especially complimentary of their driver, Randy.

“The driver can make or break a trip, and Randy was absolutely fantastic…he became a member of our family,” Frank said. “He always had a smile on his face, and nothing was too much for him.”

A dog lover himself, Randy and Arlo became fast friends. 

“Arlo is 2 ½ years old, but he still has a lot of puppy energy,” Frank said. “Randy was wonderful with him. Normally, I would look over my shoulder, but I never had to do that with Randy. He genuinely cared for Arlo without making it feel like it was a job.”

Amenities Provided Comfort and Convenience

Frank and Sherri saw photos of the luxury motorcoach prior to their trip, but they were not sure what to expect since they had never traveled in any type of RV before. 

Much like a luxury hotel suite, a luxury motorcoach features the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, and multiple bathrooms. Some motorcoaches have electric fireplaces, heated floors, and state-of-the-art entertainment centers. There’s also plenty of room for pets to stretch out and relax and ample room for luggage. All luxury motorcoaches have Smart TVs throughout and WIFI access. 

“Our king-sized bed had a really good mattress, and I slept beautifully,” Frank said. “I have a bad back, but I started every day energized and feeling good for the entire 12-day trip, which I really appreciated.”

He and Sherri also took advantage of the kitchen by stocking up the refrigerator with food and cooking on travel days. 

“The freezer was the same size as what we have at home,” Frank said. “We also appreciated having Randy’s help with taking out the grill so we could cook outside when we were staying overnight at one of the stops.”

Frank said Arlo was very comfortable on the motorcoach and he spent a lot of time cuddled up on the couch. “It was very comfortable. As far as amenities go, we had everything we could ask for,” he said. 

They also appreciated that LiTRV towed a company car behind the motorcoach. “The car we towed was very instrumental in the success of the trip,” Frank said.

Customer Care Made a Difference

Frank and Sherri were pleased they chose to celebrate their birthdays with a road trip adventure to see some of the Southwest’s most popular national parks. They were fortunate to have great weather, and they loved meeting so many different, kind people throughout their journey. 

They were also very appreciative of LiTRV’s team and their commitment to providing exceptional customer service.

“I was a business owner for more than five decades, and I can tell you that a company is only as good as everyone who is involved,” Frank said. “Jim, Mike, Randy and Mandy were all very attentive to details and they went above and beyond to make sure Sherri and I were comfortable and enjoying our trip. Everyone on their team is ‘cut from the same cloth’ with a genuine, shared commitment to customer service.”

Frank said that Sherri “would go again tomorrow,” and that the only thing they would do differently is to plan a few extra days at each destination so they could relax at the luxury RV resorts and explore the towns and other local attractions near the parks. 

“It was one of our favorite trips, and everything turned out beautifully,” he said.

Much like a luxury hotel suite, a luxury motorcoach features the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer, and even a dishwasher.

Rediscover the Joy of Travel

Sure, you may have taken short road trips here and there over the years, but when was the last time you and your spouse or partner really got away from the hustle and bustle of life? You may have talked about a trip like this for years, but just never had the time to make it happen.

Think of our LiTRV team as your personal concierge. We’ll work closely with you to customize your itinerary for a smooth, comfortable, luxury travel experience. We can reserve a premier site with breathtaking views at a luxury RV resort, or we can arrange for you to stay at a world-renowned resort and spa. And because we provide bespoke services throughout your trip, you have the flexibility to modify your travel plans, even after your journey has begun. Our concierge services also extend beyond your travel in the motorcoach. Our team can arrange, for example, for a private tour of wineries or distilleries or organize other unique travel experiences.

Here are a few vacation ideas to consider:

Paso Robles / Central Coast Wine Country (California)

Now that you have the freedom to unwind and reflect on this new, exciting phase of your life, consider visiting the world-renowned wine region of Paso Robles in northern SLO CAL (San Luis Obispo County). Located on the Salinas River, about 30 miles north of San Luis Obispo, the city is known for its abundance of wineries, hot springs, production of olive oil, almond orchards, beekeepers and quaint farms.

Spend the day exploring downtown Paso Robles, where you’ll find a charming park surrounded by farm-to-table restaurants, boutique shopping, art galleries and fine dining restaurants. Our LiTRV concierge specialist can also arrange for you to attend a private tasting at an upscale winery, take a hot air balloon ride for an aerial view of the vibrant scenery, or even stomp on grapes.

Autumn is a great time to visit, especially since October is Harvest Wine Month, but many people like to visit in the spring, when the vineyards are lush and green.

Our LiTRV team can check availability at nearby luxury RV resorts, such as Sun Outdoors — Central Coast Wine Country (formerly Wine Country RV Resort / Paso Robles). This pet-friendly property offers spacious motorcoach sites, a pool, playground, pet area, fitness center and picnic spots.

Or, if you crave an ocean view and a few days getting pampered at a spa, we can check availability at nearby luxury resorts, such as the Cliffs Hotel and Spa in Pismo Beach, some 40 minutes from Paso Robles. Perched high on a cliff, the upscale resort features sweeping views of the ocean, an outdoor pool, a full-service spa, champagne brunches and other plush amenities. Our LiTRV private driver can drop you off at the resort for a few days and then pick you up when you are ready to continue your journey.

Sedona & Verde Valley (Arizona)

It’s hard to describe the awe of seeing Sedona for the first time, and even if you and your spouse or partner have visited there before, it is such a magical place, every visit brings opportunities for inner reflection and a renewed sense of peace.

Known for its dramatic, towering red rock formations, rugged buttes, canyons, and unique high desert vegetation, Sedona sits on the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau, a massive geologic region that spans the Four Corners states—Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico.

An easy, two-hour trip from Phoenix, Sedona is a popular spiritual destination, famous for its energy vortex sites, which attract visitors seeking healing and meditation. The town features a charming main street filled with art galleries, shops and restaurants. Throughout Sedona, there are breathtaking views of famous landmarks like Cathedral Rock and Bell Rock.

With a mild climate, many people choose to spend their days outside hiking, biking, or taking a jeep or helicopter tour. Nearby Oak Creek Canyon is a scenic river gorge located between the pine forests of Flagstaff and the red rock formations of Sedona. On a warm day, many people enjoy cooling off at Slide Rock National Park, which features a natural rock water slide.

With its natural beauty and mystical charm, Sedona is also known as a spa and culinary destination. There are many five-star resorts nestled in the hills or by the creek that provide full-service spa treatments that focus on holistic wellness, personalized treatments, and indigenous healing practices like crystal grottos and vortex energy work. Many of these resorts and independent fine dining restaurants throughout Sedona have attracted renowned chefs.

Our LiTRV concierge specialist can explore availability at nearby luxury RV resorts, such as Verde Ranch RV Resort in Camp Verde, about 30 minutes from Sedona. The property features spacious motorcoach sites, a heated pool and hot tubs, pickleball courts, a fitness center, on-site activities, and river access. We can also check availability at luxury resorts, such as L’Auberge de Sedona or Enchantment Resort. Our LiTRV private driver can drop you off at the resort for a few days and pick you up when you are ready to continue your journey.

Charleston & the Lowcountry (South Carolina)

The Lowcountry is a low-lying, coastal region of South Carolina defined by its flat geography, extensive marshes, rivers, and islands, and its rich, unique culture that blends Southern traditions with significant West African influences from the Gullah Geechee people. The area is known for its historic charm, world-class Southern cuisine, large plantations, coastal drives and waterways, and a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle centered around the water.

Founded in 1670, Charleston is a port city that is defined by its cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages and pastel antebellum houses, particularly in the elegant French Quarter and Battery districts. The Battery promenade and Waterfront Park both overlook Charleston Harbor. The city’s downtown area is also home to more than 2,500 historic buildings. Some of the architectural styles include Art Deco, Classical Revival, Colonial, Federal, Georgian, Gothic Revival, Italianate, and Victorian.

Our LiTRV concierge can explore availability at luxury RV resorts, such as Hilton Head National RV Resort in Bluffton, which is in the Lowcountry and about an hour from Charleston. The pet-friendly property offers 7 landscaped acres of spectacular views of pristine fairways across a beautiful lagoon. The top-notch amenities include a beach access pool with a lazy river, a hot tub, a grill serving Southern favorites by award-winning chefs, lounges, a tiki bar, fire pits, a clubhouse, a playground and many hiking trails.

Whether you want to rekindle romance during a sunset wine tasting in California’s Central Coast, reconnect with nature while hiking the red-rocks of Sedona, or reflect on this new phase of your life as Empty Nesters while enjoying the quiet riverside views of the Lowcountry, consider chartering a luxury motorcoach for a truly unique vacation.

Charter a Luxury Motorcoach with a Private Driver to Discover Vibrant Communities Near 5 Iconic Racetracks

America loves motorsports. Whether it’s sports car racing through IMSA, (International Motor Sports Association), stock car racing through NASCAR, (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing), or open-wheel racing through F1, (Formula 1), people are fascinated by the incredible skill, precision, and control drivers exhibit while handling powerful machines at extreme speeds. 

In fact, since the pandemic, attendance is skyrocketing at many races throughout the country. According to IMSA president John Doonan, three of the first four IMSA events in the 2025 season set all-time attendance records. Recent data shows Formula 1 has an estimated 45 million fans in the United States and is growing, while NASCAR’s total viewership reached 68.4 million for its last season, with millions more tuning in for individual events. Globally, the sport of motorsports is estimated to attract about 500 million people annually. 

But beyond each iconic racetrack, there are vibrant communities and scenic regions to explore. Whether you want to attend a popular race or just want to explore the region, consider chartering a luxury motorcoach with a private driver for a memorable, customized, unique vacation experience.

Our team can arrange, for example, for a private tour of wineries or distilleries or organize other unique travel experiences. 

Here are five legendary racetrack destinations to consider visiting:

Watkins Glen International Raceway – Watkins Glen, NY

The Watkins Glen racetrack, officially Watkins Glen International (WGI), is a premier road course in upstate New York that hosts various auto racing events, including the NASCAR Cup Series Go Bowling at The Glen and the IndyCar Series Grand Prix. Located in Dix, New York, near the southern tip of Seneca Lake, it features a 3.45-mile course and has a long history dating back to a village-street race in 1948 before the current permanent track was built in 1956.

Known as “The Glen,” this legendary track is nestled in New York’s Finger Lakes region, a haven for wine lovers and outdoor adventurers. While visiting the area, explore the nearby Seneca Lake Wine Trail, which features dozens of wineries. The trail is surrounded by a wide range of activities including breweries, distilleries, creameries, watersports, museums, history, shopping, and more. 

It’s definitely worth your time to stay in the area a few extra days to explore 

Watkins Glen State Park. Within two miles of entering the park, the glen’s stream descends 400 feet past 200-foot cliffs, generating 19 waterfalls along its course. The gorge path winds over and under waterfalls and through the spray of Cavern Cascade. Rim trails overlook the gorge. 

Be sure to leave time to visit the Corning Museum of Glass, the world’s foremost library on glass and glassmaking. The museum features glass as a focal point to share stories relating to art, history, culture, technology, science, craft, and design. 50,000+ objects representing more than 3,500 years of history are included in the museum’s collection.

Amenities include an indoor heated pool, fitness center, nearby hiking trails, “The Plunge” water slide, a Jumping Pillow and Jump Pad and a pirate ship-themed playground, mini golf, Gaga Ball, and a dog park.

Virginia International Raceway – Danville, VA

The Virginia International Raceway (VIR) is a multi-purpose motorsports resort located in the rolling hills of Alton, Virginia, near Danville. It is considered one of America’s premier permanent road racing facilities, featuring a challenging track with significant elevation changes and resort amenities. 

The track first opened in 1957 and quickly became a major fixture for the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), drawing famous drivers like Carroll Shelby, who won the inaugural feature race. The circuit closed in 1974, and the land was used as a farm for 25 years. The track reopened in 2000 under new ownership and VIR was redeveloped as one of the country’s first “motorsport resorts,” combining a world-class racetrack with lodging, dining, and other amenities. 

When not at the track, you may want to spend a few days hiking, picnicking, or driving through the Blue Ridge Parkway, a scenic 469-mile drive connecting Shenandoah National Park in Virginia and Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. The parkway is known for its stunning views of the Appalachian Mountains, abundant wildlife, and diverse flora. 

The region also includes Jibtopia Wake Park for water sports, The Prizery for performances, and Hudson Heritage Farms for agricultural experiences. The South Boston – Halifax County Museum is also worth visiting and is about 30 minutes from the racetrack. As you plan your trip, you might also include time visiting nearby Charlotte and Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina.

For the ultimate trip, consider attending a race and staying at one of the premium motorcoach sites on Virginia International Raceway’s property. Some of these sites have trackside options for the best views, but they do book up quickly. Our LiTRV concierge specialist can check availability for a premium site with VIP benefits or check availability at The Villas at South Bend, a lodge that is also on the property. Overlooking the uphill Esses, one of the most celebrated features of VIR’s racecourse, the two-floor accommodations each offer 2,200 spacious square feet of total space, which can be rented as a single unit or as separate ground floor and second-floor units.

If you’re interested in exploring more of Virginia’s beauty, LiTRV concierge specialist can explore luxury RV resorts throughout the state, such as The Oaks RV Resort in Meadows of Dan, a two-hour drive from the racetrack. This new, upscale luxury RV resort includes spacious sites with lush landscaping and long-range mountain views, a heated outdoor swimming pool, a clubhouse with a fireplace, a large pet park, free high-speed internet, walking and hiking trails, fire pits and picnic tables, security cameras and other amenities.

Road America is a renowned, historic road-racing circuit located near Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. Established in 1955, the 4.048-mile track winds through 640 acres of picturesque rolling hills, featuring 14 turns, significant elevation changes, and a challenging layout that includes a distinctive high-speed “Kink”. It hosts a variety of motorsports events and is recognized as one of the fastest permanent road courses in the world.

Our LiTRV private driver will drop you off there and pick you up when you are ready to continue on your journey. 

Barber Motorsports Park – Birmingham, AL

Barber Motorsports Park is a large racing facility and museum complex located in Leeds, Alabama, just outside of Birmingham. It is an 880-acre property known for its lush, manicured grounds, which have earned it the nickname “The Augusta National of Motorsports”. Throughout the park, visitors will find whimsical and artistic sculptures, including large steel spiders and dragonflies. A section of the track is even nicknamed “Charlotte’s Web” due to its proximity to a giant spider sculpture.

One highlight on the property is the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum, which is home to the Guinness World Record largest motorcycle collection. It houses a vast collection of over 1,600 vintage and modern motorcycles, as well as the largest collection of Lotus race cars in the world.

While in the area, spend some time exploring the thriving city of Birmingham. Spend time tracing the history of sites that played a major role in the Civil Rights Movement or relax for a few hours in the peaceful Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

The Circuit of the Americas – Austin, Texas

Located just outside Austin, Texas, The Circuit of the Americas (COTA) is a permanent, FIA Grade 1-certified circuit famous for its challenging turns and elevation changes. 

Formula 1’s popularity has ballooned in the U.S. since the pandemic, with Netflix’s Drive to Survive series often credited with attracting fans, while there are now three Grands Prix annually in the country. In fact, half of Formula 1 fans in the United States only started following the sport in the last five years, according to F1 championship organizers.  Attendance is also at a record high — 6.5 million spectators attended the 24 Grands Prix in 2024. F1: The Movie, starring Brad Pitt, has also helped to increase interest in the races. 

Beyond the thrill of race day, Austin offers visitors an incredible mix of live music, food culture, and outdoor adventure. Stroll down Sixth Street for nightlife and entertainment, explore the eclectic shops and eateries on South Congress Avenue, or catch live performances at the city’s countless music venues. Nature lovers can also kayak on Lady Bird Lake, hike at Barton Creek Greenbelt, or swim at the iconic Barton Springs Pool.

Our LiTRV concierge specialist can check availability at nearby luxury RV resorts, such as the new Meadow Lane RV Park, an upscale, pet-friendly property just 10 minutes from Austin that features modern amenities, including spacious sites, high-speed internet, a safe playground, and more.

The Ultimate Fall Foliage Tour: Charter a Luxury Motorcoach with a Private Driver

It’s hard to think of a more soul-recharging getaway than a late September, October or even a November sojourn to destinations dotted with trees turning blazing shades of red, orange and gold. “Leaf peeping,” or Fall Color Tourism, is such a popular travel trend that there are several interactive maps that provide daily updates so you can find the best locations to view spectacular, vibrant colors as you walk down a wooded trail or take a relaxing drive through a scenic region on a crisp, fall day.

Why Rent a Luxury Motorcoach for Your Fall Vacation? 

When you charter a luxury motorcoach through LiTRV, you and your family or friends will travel in comfort and style. No more forgetting something important back at the hotel.

Less Well-Known Fall Foliage Destinations Could be Perfect for You

New England is often regarded as the go-to region for fall foliage, and there’s no denying it’s spectacular there in autumn. But you may want to think about other destinations that are just as impressive and could be less crowded. Here are some fall vacation destination ideas:

New York’s Adirondack Park  – the ‘We Have It All’ Fall Vacation

Located in northeastern New York, the Adirondack Mountains, boasting Lake Placid and Lake George, blend high peaks and winding byways framed by brilliant reds and gold fall foliage. Enjoy panoramic overlooks from the Prospect Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway, a 5.5-mile scenic drive in Lake George that leads to the summit of Prospect Mountain. This memorable drive offers three scenic overlooks and stunning 100-mile views from the summit. Or take in the breathtaking fall colors while sailing, rowing, kayaking or boating on Mirror Lake, in the center of the town of Lake Placid. Known for hosting two winter Olympics, the quaint town also includes boutiques, diverse restaurants and several breweries.

The fall is also jam-packed with fun events. The Adirondack Balloon Festival in Queensbury and Glens Falls takes place this year Sept. 18-21, 2025. It features sunrise and sunset launches and special-shape balloons such as a baby peacock, a baby dinosaur with an egg, Taz the Tasmanian Devil, and penguins. 

Later in the season, the Flaming Leaves Festival at Lake Placid, takes place Oct 11–12. This high-energy event showcases live music, local vendors, and the U.S. Ski Jumping/Nordic Combined Nationals beneath flaming-color hillsides.

Our LiTRV concierge specialist can check availability at nearby luxury RV resorts, such as the Lake George RV Park in Lake George. Amenities include indoor and outdoor pools, paved full-hookup sites, on-property trails, a trolley, movie theaters, and Charlie’s Bark Park, a two-acre off-leash dog park. Our concierge specialist can also check availability at nearby luxury resorts, such as the Lake Placid Lodge. LiTRV’s private driver can drop you off there and then pick you up when you are ready to continue on your journey.

Northern Michigan’s Gold Coast – An Explosion of Color at Peak Season

Maple trees abound as you drive past Lake Michigan vistas and across quaint towns. The famed Tunnel of Trees, a scenic 20-mile stretch of M-119 between Harbor Springs and Cross Village, is known for the dense canopy of trees that forms a tunnel-like effect over the road. As fall foliage peaks in mid-October, the Tunnel becomes a natural cathedral of color—perfect for a slow, scenic drive in your luxury motorcoach rental.

The Leelanau Peninsula is another popular area for “leaf peeping.” The scenic area in northwest Michigan extends into Lake Michigan and forms the west side of Grand Traverse Bay. It is known for its natural beauty, including Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, 100 miles of shoreline, and numerous inland lakes and islands. The peninsula also boasts a thriving wine industry, with the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail featuring over 20 award-winning wineries. 

Or, consider taking a ferry to Mackinac Island from Mackinaw City, at the northern tip of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, or catch the ferry from St. Ignace, at the southern tip of the Upper Peninsula. The car-free island offers timeless charm with horse-drawn carriages, quaint boutiques, a tearoom, two butterfly houses, horseback riding, golf, fine dining and luxury spas. Our LiTRV private driver can drop you off at the ferry location and pick you up when you are ready to embark on the rest of your journey.

And throughout the fall, you’ll find many other fun fall activities, such as apple picking, pumpkin patches, and fall harvest at local farms. There are also many fall festivals, such as  the Charlevoix Apple Festival, Oct 10–12, which includes delicious cider, orchards, arts and crafts, and downtown festivities by the marina. 

Our LiTRV concierge specialist can check availability at nearby luxury RV resorts, such as Hearthside Grove in Petoskey. As a top-of-the-line luxury RV resort, Hearthside Grove features two clubhouses with concierge services, a resort-style pool, pickleball courts, outdoor games, a dog walk, two fitness centers, a movie theater and other desirable amenities. All of the luxury motorcoach lots are spacious, but our LiTRV concierge specialist can check availability for premium lots, which have some combination of at least three enhanced amenities, such as a view of one of the beautiful ponds, fire features, water features or enhanced furniture. 

The Ozarks – Ablaze with Color

It’s tough to beat rolling hills ablaze with amber and crimson surrounding crystal blue water. As one of the oldest mountain regions in North America, the Ozarks are characterized by rolling hills, plateaus, and rugged terrain, formed over millions of years by the erosion of an ancient plateau. Primarily located in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas, they also extend into eastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas. The Ozarks are also known for their extensive cave systems, clear rivers and streams, and diverse plant and animal life.

One popular destination to see the fall foliage is Branson, Missouri. Nestled in the Ozark Mountains, Branson is known as the “Live Entertainment Capital of the World.” Each autumn, there are plenty of fall festivals, arts and crafts shows, traditional pumpkin patches, corn mazes, carnivals, concerts, bonfires, and other fun family activities. Enjoy a scenic cruise or a fishing charter on Table Rock Lake. Hike in leaf-framed Dogwood Canyon Nature Park or take in a show in Branson’s Entertainment District.
