  The Ultimate Southwest Tour – The Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum Tour & Dinner
  November 1st
  “Where the desert comes alive” is this museum’s catch phrase! A more distinctive and appropriate location for dinner in Tucson is not to be found. Enjoy a late afternoon tour of this combination zoo-natural history – botanical garden location with docents, or wander through the exhibits on your own. If you wish, you may also enjoy a fantastic dinner prepared and served under the stars by the museum’s own catering team, with native music and entertainment to accompany. Before you head back to your hotel, take advantage of the astronomers and telescopes placed in the museum parking lot for your enjoyment. Because Kitt Peak Observatory is so near to Tucson, there are no high powered city lights to dim your view! How better to celebrate a visit to the desert? (THIS TOUR INCLUDES A BOX LUNCH)
  
  
  Cowboy BBQ Delight –
  November 2nd
  How can you leave Arizona without an authentic Cowboy BBQ and country swing band? You can’t! Gather in the secluded Catalina Basin at The Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa for an evening of spur-kickin’ and yee-hawin’. To entertain you, we have live music and even a dance instructor or two for those of you who haven’t yet experienced the excitement of country swing and line dancing! It’s sure to be a lively evening, and the perfect way to end your stay!
