Join us and no more than 12 guests on a leisurely discovery of Alluring Arizona for a week before Easter.
This is a land that is so much more than a place to haul the RV and camp for the winter. Arizona is a land of magical scenery, a place where The Old West still hangs on and where the ancient culture of the orignal North Americans pre dates medieval times.
But most of all it is a place where you can have fun! If you loved San Antonio, you'll love Arizona. A week from one location in Scottsdale - a modern, Courtyard Marriott hotel with huge rooms and centrally located.
Day trips to discover Old Tucson, Phoenix and Scottsdale, The Apache Trail, Sedona, a Jeep Tour into the desert, a Paddle Wheeler journey on Canyon Lake, the 18th century White Dove Mission, and special dining experiences.
Remember Luckenbach, Texas? Well Arizona has Tortilla Flat, an official town consisting of six people and the famous Suspicion Saloon. Quirky and fun.
This is the land of all the cowboy and Indian shows we used to watch: Roy Rogers, Hopalong Cassidy, John Wayne, The Lone Ranger and Tonto and the U.S. Cavalry?
A totally free day as well as plenty of time built in for shopping in Arts and Crafts location, smart upscale markets, dining experiences in every kind of restaurant including The Horny Toad, Rancho de Tia Rosa and more.
Also time to discover the richness of the Navajo, the Apache, the Hopi and many other distinct and unique tribes along with the famous Kachina dolls which are, in the old ways, religious icons.
So much to see, so much to do - and so much fun.
Only 12 guests so book it early. Call us at 1 800 773 7093.
