Daily Itinerary
Day 1
Deep in the heart of the Lone Star State is a city that is part American, part Mexican and definitely all Texan, San Antonio. Your historic hotel is located beside the famed Riverwalk and features a complimentary Kickback each evening including adult beverages and heavy hors d’oeuvres. Drury Plaza Hotel – 4 nights
Day 2
Joined by a local guide, take a driving tour of San Antonio and along the El Camino Real to San Jose, one of the historic Franciscan missions that first brought the Spanish into the area. Later in the day visit the most famous of these missions, San Antonio de Valero, or what we know today as The Alamo. Next door,you’ll see the IMAX film production that puts the famous battle into perspective and visit a new museum displaying a treasure trove of battle-related artifacts. If you’ve wrestled up an appetite, tonight’s steak dinner is sure to please. You know what they say: Everything’s bigger in Texas! (FB,D)
Day 3
Experience the city's unique Riverwalk aboard a river taxi cruise on which a Mexican lunch fiesta will be served. Then you’re off to the home of San Antonio’s beloved shoes, SAS, where you’ll visit the old-timey General Store (anyone for a 10¢ Coke and 5¢ bag of popcorn?) and tour the factory. The afternoon is free for personal exploration along the Riverwalk or historic Market Square. Tonight witness the sound and light of spectacle known as "The Saga" projected on the facade of San Fernando Cathedral. (FB,L)
Day 4
With luck, the blue bonnets will be in bloom as you head into the Texas Hill Country. There you’ll visit the Humble home where Lyndon B. Johnson grew up. Midday you'll visit Arch Ray, a cornerstone of the Texas wine industry. Unique among wineries, they are also brew and distill onsite, so there will be lots to see and sample before a tasty lunch is served. You'll also have an opportunity to explore the National Museum of the Pacific War, a world-class museum located in tiny Fredericksburg, the hometown of Five Star Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz before returning to San Antonio. (FB,L)
Day 5
Time to say adios, but not before getting a bird’s eye view of the city over lunch served high atop the Tower of the Americas and strapping in for the 4D film, “Skies Over Texas” at Hemisfair Park, site of the 1968 World's Fair. (FB, L)
