March 2010

The Moenkopi Legacy Inn and Suites will be the first hotel to be built on Hopi tribal land in 50 years, was the inspiration of the Elders of the Upper Village of Moenkopi.  It was their vision that their Village should be  a place of welcome and gathering for visitors to the land of the Hopi.

Experience the warm hospitality of the Hopi people. Visit Hopi Villages, meet artists in their home workshops, enjoy unique Hopi food, and meet some of the friendliest people in the world

Dear friends – 

 

It seems Canadians are still planning to spend just as much, if not more, on their next vacation. Economic indicators suggest Canadians are entering the New Year in a more optimistic frame of mind, with less anxiety about their jobs and a greater willingness to make major purchases such as cars and vacations!!! While we won’t be cutting back on our travel expenses, that doesn’t mean we still aren’t searching for the best deals! Travel deals are lower than ever, and who doesn’t want to travel to sunny Arizona this time of year. The deals and activities are endless, and we have listed a few here for a taste of what is to come and how you can make your own itinerary- visit our fabulous website www.arizonaguide.com to plan your next vacation getaway!

Sincerely,

April Beauchamp, AOT Canada
