I am truly a fan of the arts and I would literally travel thousands of miles to get there. Just late last year, I was lucky enough to spend a couple of days with my relatives in a historic town called Branson in Missouri. I was so excited since I seldom do go out of California from the business trips and seminars I go to every year. It was not that much of a vacation in the west coast but when I traveled to this quaint town along East Main Street, I was at awe when I learned that I would be staying at the fabulous Hilton Branson Convention Center. My Aunt Wilma reserved this for me so I was really surprised that I would stay in something so posh! It was eye candy!
From the grand lobby, to the nice molding details on my room, the indoor and outdoor pool, I knew I was in for something surreal in my stay here.
I had lunch with my Aunt, Nephews and Nieces on the TROFI Lounge located at the second floor. It was architecturally phenomenal! Design wise it was so awesome since they took advantage of the scenic Lake TANEYCOMO and BRANSON Landing. Imagine looking through ground to ceiling glass windows with that outside. It was just perfect!
After that, they toured me around the Titanic Museum (as we paid homage to the ship) that literally was as huge as the real one. It was even nicer in the mid afternoon since the lights came on. I was in dire need of evening entertainment; the town and the people did not disappoint me because there was a little piano number on the posh Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel that I stayed in. We spent the whole night there!
If you plan to visit this September 2009, make sure you attend these special events I listed on this special itinerary!
Sept 7 Silver Dollar City's "Southern Gospel Picnic"
Sept 2 the End of World War II
Sept 7 Model T Meet - Dick Clark's Area 57
Sept 11 9/11 "BRANSON Remembers" -
Sept 11-12 2009 BRANSON Car Collector Auction
Sept 12-Oct 31 Silver Dollar City's "National Harvest Festival"
Sept 17-20 36th Annual Autumn Daze Arts and Crafts Festival - Downtown BRANSON

I would recommend you stay in 2 places only when you get to Missouri. The Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing and the Hilton BRANSON Convention Center Hotel. They have specials like the Moon River Package which you can get from Jun. 15, 2009 - Nov. 15, 2009 at only US $179/night. For golfers like me, the Golf package at US $209/night looks slightly more appealing because you will get the chance to play at the new Payne Stewart Golf Course if you reserve from Sept. 17, 2008 - Sept. 29, 2009. This coming week, the Annual Southern Gospel Picnic will happen at BRANSON where you could see hundreds of performances from the top names in southern gospel music! They have more specials listed on their site; what more could you ask for?! Stay in a Hilton Hotel, they are hospitable!
