The lobby is four stories high with a white oak and brass ceiling and a glass wall covering the East face of the lobby.

OVERVIEW

Prepare yourself for an epic adventure that will take you across the vast canvas of the United States. Our journey begins in the vibrant streets of San Francisco, where the iconic Golden Gate Bridge stands tall, promising an adventure-filled voyage. As we set off, the towering skyscrapers of downtown San Francisco will bid us farewell, replaced by the breathtaking vistas of the American heartland.

As we traverse the country, a kaleidoscope of landscapes will unfold before our eyes. We'll witness the rugged peaks of the Rocky Mountains, the rolling hills of the Midwest, and the vast expanse of the Great Plains. Along the way, we'll encounter friendly faces, discover hidden gems, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Finally, our journey culminates in the bustling metropolis of Jersey City, situated just across the Hudson River from the iconic cityscape of New York City. As we approach our destination, the towering skyline will come into view, a testament to the vibrant and diverse culture that awaits us in the East Coast's urban heartland.
