BY SUNNDEEP CHOPRA.
Feeling romantic or then your better halves feeling vexed with you ‘cause you’ve been unduly postponing that week long idyllic getaway that you promised her many a moon ago, well the dream destination for a significant majority of American lovers/couples might just be what you’ve been looking for.
Begin planning for your trip by logging onto the extremely user friendly Merit Car Hire website and book yourself your chosen set of wheels namely a four wheel drive Cherokee and have the same waiting the arrival of your lordships at the Virginia Beach Airport.
Disembarked at the airport and took possession of your designated wheels from car rentals Virginia Beach Airport then without any further ado point the snout of your jeep towards the Crabtree falls; proudly boasting of the sobriquet of “Virginia’s best kept secret”, these falls feature a series of five major cascades and a multitude of smaller ones that plummet down a distance exceeding 1,200 feet in all their resplendent glory.
The intrepid/fearless hiker may venture along the 3 mile trail that culminates in a breath taking view of the falls and the outlooks of the Tyne River valley.
Badly need a history lesson then take a ride in your jeep from the car rental Virginia Beach airport and end the same at the tranquil and surreal atmosphere of the Hollywood cemetery which incidentally boasts of the unique distinction of being America’s most frequented cemeteries.
An astounding and majestic 90 foot high stone pyramid which immortalizes more than 18,000 confederate soldiers who were laid to rest beneath this hallowed ground is it’s crowning glory and many an U.S. president like John Tyler, James Monroe, Jefferson Davis and one of Virginia’s most decorated sons General J.E.B. Stuart lie here in eternal peace.
Had your fill of war history, then do yourself a favour and head towards the Virginia Beach and Boardwalk in your rental Cherokee from Merit Car Hire Services; America’s longest commercial beach incidentally also happens to be one of it’s favourites. The landmark three mile long concrete boardwalk is a hub of activity with bicyclists, roller bladders and skaters, and people watchers all jostling for place.
This place really comes awake once the sun disappears below the horizon and transforms into a veritable living juke box with Virginia’s most accomplished singers, dancers, acrobats, gymnasts and last but not the least performing artists vying for your attention at the same time.
Rise and shine with the birds the next morning and set off towards the Great Dismal National Wildlife refuge that is home to more than 400 wildlife species and has either been viewed as a tranquil paradise by poets and history writers or then a eerie, strangely mysterious place that portends death, destruction, evil and gloom by numerous others. Visitors can have their fill of bird watching, hiking, biking, boating fishing and hunting.
Had your fill, then head back home after returning your rental vehicle.
