Brittany here! 🙋♀️
A few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of welcoming Donna and the Newmar Kountry Klub Motorhome Club for a multi-day visit to Jacksonville and the surrounding area. It was such a joy working with their group to create a customized itinerary that fit their interests and helped them make the most of their time here!
One thing people don’t always realize is that the Jacksonville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau offers complimentary group tour planning. We can help with local recommendations, restaurant and attraction reservations, customized printable itineraries, and even welcome swag bags filled with information about the places your group will be visiting.
If you’re planning a motorcoach tour, club trip, reunion, or another group getaway, I’d love to help you create an itinerary that’s tailored specifically to your group.

🍪 Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!
We’re not saying you have to channel your inner Cookie Monster today… but we’re not saying you shouldn’t either. 🍪💙
We dug into our photo archives and found these fun cookie creations from Holly Cakes Bakery, they seemed like the perfect way to celebrate today.
Whether your favorite chocolate chip cookie comes from Holly Cakes or another local bakery, we’d love to know! Tell us in the comments (or share a photo!).
