36 The Ensign Spring 2011

Get thereIf you’re traveling by air, book your flight into Piedmont Triad International Airport (airport code GSO). By car, Greensboro is easily accessible from I-95, I-85 or I-40. Or if you’re not in a hurry, you might enjoy a trip along North Carolina’s state roads. If you’re planning to extend your stay, consider a retreat to the nearby Blue Ridge Mountains to admire the beautiful fall foliage. You may also enjoy a visit to Cape Hatteras on the Outer Banks, Virginia Beach, or even Charleston, S.C.

Plan your stayThe Sheraton Greensboro Hotel at Four Seasons provides free shuttle service from the airport to the hotel at 3121 High Point Road, Greensboro, NC 27407. Featuring southern hospitality at its best, the hotel has 1,000 elegant guest rooms, including 70 suite combinations and new club-level smart rooms.

Explore the areaWhile you’re here, you’ll find plenty to do in Winston-Salem, High Point and Greensboro. We have also planned tours to USPS headquarters in Raleigh as well as area museums. Don’t miss our tour of Replacements Ltd., which has the world’s largest inventory of old and new china, crystal, silver and collectibles. If you have missing or broken pieces, you can identify the maker and style and order them while you’re here.

Things to doGolfers, bring your clubs. Owned by the hotel, the Grandover Resort East Course measures up to the highest standards of championship golf, so you’ll want to sign up for the golf outing we have planned.

Shoppers, bring your energy. Start the day with a hearty breakfast at one of Greensboro’s pan-cake houses before enjoying some of the Southeast’s best shopping in the newly remodeled Four Seasons Town Centre. With three floors and more than 200 shops and restaurants, Four Seasons offers something for even the most discriminating shopper.

You really don’t have to leave the hotel to have a good time. In addition to USPS planned activi-ties, our hotel has five restaurants and a sushi bar, three conversation lounges, plus Club Fifth Season, a high-energy nightclub with entertainment nightly.
