I had more RCI Points than I realized that I couldn't extend any further with my Platinum membership, so i just booked Labor Day week at Regal Vista at Massanutten. I had trouble finding anything within easy driving distance that we could make work with our schedule. I looked for something beachy, but nothing appealing showed up, especially in hurricane season.
I've never even considered this area for a vacation, but I'm getting sort of excited about it. I've always wanted to drive the Blue Ridge Parkway instead of speeding up I-81 on a long drive north or south, so I will probably take the slow road north to Massanutten. Hopefully it won't be too painful on Labor Day weekend.
I'll be reading all of the resort reviews for the area and researching a couple of travel websites, but please share any tips for the area. We aren't very active, but love scenic drives, looking at pretty towns, eating in local restaurants, attending local events such as fairs, etc. We'll be there Sunday to Sunday.
Thanks for any suggestions.
