Get set for a Michigan tour that takes through countryside so beautiful that you forget the state is also an industrial giant. Drive along panoramic beaches with amazing sand dunes that stretch along the shores of Lake Michigan. Take a private sail on a tall ship up the Saginaw River. Revel in the unspoiled beauty and charm of famous Mackinac Island, where little has changed since it was first settled centuries ago; take a private horse-drawn carriage tour and spend two glorious nights at the famed Grand Hotel. Explore history at Fort Michilamackinac and at The Henry Ford in Greenfield Village, and discover fine Michigan wines at a private tasting at Black Star Farms. There are discoveries galore on Tauck's merry Michigan tour this year!

The budget review of Lake Towns is very strange indeed!
Some---NO, Many of the greatest Lake Towns in the U.S. are in Michigan and no Michigan Lake Town was mentioned.
Some kind of prejudice?????

Why was there no comment opportunity to comment on the actual article by Budget???

wow, I agree, Michigan, the Great Lakes State, was not in this article!! There are so many beautiful lake towns in Michigan...how about Traverse City to name just one. I am a proud Michigander from Yooperland!
