Come relax and join us for a short coach tour of some of the most popular city sites while we explore the Spanish influence on Tucson. A brief shopping stop will be made at Old Town Artisans (www.oldtownartisans.com) before heading on our way to Mexican dinner at El Charro Café (www.elcharrocafe.com) in the historic Presidio district. Dinner includes appetizers, choice of entrée, and non-alcoholic beverage. Transportation is included. $39/person

We’ve saddled up enough ponies to git you to a real Western steak dinner (www.pinnaclepeaktucson.com), and an old West stunt show with enough time left over for some shopping in Trail Dust Town (www.traildusttown. com). Transportation is included. Dinner includes steak, beans, baked potato, and a soft drink. Please select one of the following:
6 oz. filet $44; 16 oz. T-bone (mostly New York) $46; 24 oz. T-bone (filet/New York) $49

The meeting is done, so stay a little longer and treat yourself to a unique, world-class museum and zoo (www.desertmuseum.org). Start your afternoon with lunch on your own at one of the museums restaurants then explore the grounds, at your own pace. You’ll find the desert brought to life in a way you have never experienced. On your ride to the museum you’ll pass through Saguaro National Park
(www.nps.gov/sagu), home to the enormous cacti that takes 75 years before it grows its first arm. Transportation is included (lunch on your own). $31/person
