Starting Out

While most people who take the Empire State Road Trip are already Northeast residents, we start out from the Palm Beaches, a mere 1,322 miles from our first destination, the Chautauqua Harbor Hotel in the small village of Celoron, NY.  From there we'll continue on to the Watkins Glen Harbor Hotel and finish at the 1000 Islands Harbor Hotel, courtesy of the Harbor Hotel Group. This is our first real trip since the COVID pandemic locked us down, and we're super excited to be back on the road. Besides, long road trips are our thing, like this one from a few years ago when we traveled from FLORIDA TO CALIFORNIA and back.

Part of the trip will take us to one of our favorite places from trips past, the Finger Lakes, the third largest wine-producing region in the country. There is so much to do and see, it promises to be a full six days. So if you love beautiful scenery, good food, wine tastings and discovering new places, please ride along. We can make room!
