2012 American Southwest Training Tour Itinerary:


WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25: 

We will depart from LAX Airport this morning and head south to San Diego via the Pacific Coast Highway.  Famous for its picturesque backdrop against the Pacific Ocean, Highway 1 is a must see for anyone new to California.  After arriving in San Diego, the group will tour the highlights of the city, which include Balboa Park, Coronado and the Gas Lamp District.  A Welcome Cocktail Reception will be hosted in the evening.  Overnight will be at the Holiday Inn San Diego On-The-Bay.  (Breakfast is included at the hotels daily.)


 THURSDAY, JANUARY 26: 

We will depart the hotel and travel to the Temecula Wine Country of Southern California, where we will enjoy wine tastings at 2 wineries, Stuart Cellars and South Coast Winery.  We will also have some free time to explore Old Town Temecula. 

Later in the afternoon, we will continue on to Las Vegas and check into the hotel and freshen up before a night on the town.  Lodging in Las Vegas will be at the Luxor Hotel.

  
FRIDAY, JANUARY 27: 

We will depart from Las Vegas in the morning and travel to the Grand Canyon, making a stop at the Hoover Dam for a private tour of the dam.  Constructed between 1931 and 1936 and using 3,250,000 cubic yards of concrete, the Hoover Dam was controversially named honoring President Hoover.  Following the private tour of the Hoover Dam we will enter the Grand Canyon National Park stopping at various viewpoints along the way prior to check-in at Yavapai Lodge.


SATURDAY, JANUARY 28: 

We will be treated to more sightseeing of the Grand Canyon before returning to Las Vegas and the Luxor Hotel.  Once back in Las Vegas, the group will enjoy a hosted Farewell Cocktail Reception.  Following the reception the guests will have ample free time to experience the Las Vegas nightlife.

This morning, the motorcoach will make a stop at Las Vegas McCarran Airport (LAS) to drop off any passengers who have made plans to fly out of Las Vegas.  We will then continue on to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), arriving at approximately 3:00 PM, for those passengers who have made plans to fly out of Los Angeles.
