"The Edwards Trace is an ancient trail that dates back at least 3,000 years that went through Illinois marking the migratory path of various animal herds starting in Kaskaskia, Illinois to Peoria, Illinois. Native Americans used this trail to track the seasonal migrations of herds." Portions of this trail remain visible even today.

Adults-Only Mediterranean Cruise Adventure
Location not specified yetJoin us on this adults-only Virgin Voyages cruise. Our cruise is an 8-night journey departing from Barcelona and arrives first to the picturesque Mediterranean gem of Cannes, France, where you can spend the day basking on brilliant beaches, strolling the famous La Croisette promenade or taking in the glamour of it all.
From there we’ll head to Toulon, France in the French Riviera or Côte d’Azur — as the locals call it. In Toulon, you will find a network of streets and alleyways lined with murals, galleries and bars. If you’d prefer to admire the natural beauty, you can ride the bright red cable car to Mont Faron for access to winding hiking trails and sweeping views of the bay.
After a day of sailing we stop next in Valencia, Spain, a classic old town that looks like something out of a true romantic’s daydreams with a modern cultural and artistic edge, Valencia truly encompasses everything that the Mediterranean is about.
Next we visit Ibiza, Spain, where we will stay overnight. Thanks to its iconic nightclubs and star-studded DJ sets, Ibiza earned its reputation as the party capital of the world. So, Ibiza’s true beach-bum personality and quiet seaside streets might surprise you. You can beach all day and party all night.
Then we return to Barcelona, Spain. Stay an extra night or two to enjoy this cultural icon that is the envy of every other Mediterranean city. WIth its avant-garde architecture and influence, Barcelona boasts nine UNESCO World Heritage sites for visitors to marvel at.
Cruise pricing starting at $1850 per person (does not include air fare). For more information, send me a message or email me at kburge@dreamvacations.com.
