A stay with us should allow us all to get all the time we want to enjoy each other, as well as to see some of what Tucson and the Wild West is really all about. Imagine, you really don't have any idea where to begin. Then, how to get to see and do everything you'd like?
First, we suggest you fly directly to Phoenix's Sky Harbor. It's faster, better and less expensive. Coming direct to Tucson will usually require changing plans for those coming from the East. Yuk! BTW, there's lots to see and do from Phoenix, AZ ... local side trips or even a getaway to see the Grand Canyon and/or Las Vegas. And, we can meet you there too. |

My favorite get away place to relax and enjoy the good life. It provides a place to really relax, enjoy the amenities, do some sight seeing and dine in or out.
Paulina and I will be vacationing here for a week beginning shortly. Paulina and I will also be in Las Vegas for another show. Then son John and I will do a week just at the Desert Oasis just before our 4th of July celebration at home.. |

Making Time for Dinner at Our Club to Catch Up |
Adding to Our Natural LandscapeWe bought our home back in 2012, then spent 5 months doing lots of restoration, some remodeling and a lot of landscaping.
To begin with, we removed 4 1/2 large dumpsters of overgrowth, and unwanted landscaping. Then, we replaced the trees, shrubs, bushes, and 2 lawns. In addition, we had landscape lighting added to the entire home surrounding and gardens .. including lots of spot lighting for the tall trees, 8 chimneys and mountains above our pool and spa area. We also especially had lots of the original debris placed below our driveway removed and the natural terrain restored. As a result of the overgrowth, we had to have several snakes removed and relocated! We totally renovated our spa and pool, and included a "lagoon" for added joy and entertainment. We also added a river walk below our home in the lower, front of our property to create a real deserts cape and special views of our creek (wash) aa well as adding a dog run and lots of new fencing to encompass our home and gardens. We've intentionally done lots of photo videos, which are in our online YouTube library to showcase our home, gardens and views 24/7, 365 days a year. They highlight our beautiful weather and beautiful terrain. Tucson is a resort/university/retiree/military/snowbird town with our small population constantly turning over. Most lifers came for the climate, cost of living, safety of the location and lay back life style. Many, many of the Snowbirds leave Tucson during summer to return to their other homes. Frankly, this is my favorite time of year in that the landscape is at it's best, and life becomes even more layback. |

So much to see, regardless of the time of year, we're pretty and comfortable all year long. Come see the sights, eh.
Our fragrant flowers and gardens ain't bad either, this is Paulina's passion. |
We created a "Point Lookout" for some quiet time and special views. This let's you see the wildlife, city and sunset views and the fireworks frequently provided by the Skyline Country Club for weddings, special events and especially on the 4th of July.

We had our good friends visit with us for 2 weeks. We all had a great time sightseeing, catching up with friends and lots of great food. Our show begins with a welcome party for our friends and then includes some fun at our Club and our Farewell Celebration at a favorite restaurant in Tucson, AZ All of the songs used in the show were from The Roomates album, and showcase my friend Jack's Doo Wop recordings. We've created this show to highlight some of our memories of the holiday, and our guests. Hopefully, we'll get to enjoy our special guests over their stay.
We create a "unique experience" for our special guests! |

We're also members of both our community club (The Skyline Country Club) and Loews Ventana Canyon Resort and Spa). Both provide lots of additional amenities and outdoor fun. My special interest is tennis, while Paulina loved the Spa facilities. Besides my own ball machine, the clubs provide a ball machine. This allows me to play solo or with others, and provides additional exercise. Great fun. If you're visiting, bring sneakers ... we've got the rest.
We had shopped around viewing several other clubs, and selected the Club at Ventana Canyon. Check out our tour of the 2 finalists in the show below. We selected the Loews Ventana Club based on a wide variety of benefits. First, our special interest, but also due to lots of other amenities, restaurants, hotel facilities, the extensive grounds, nature walks, water falls, lakes and it's sheer beauty and elegance. We and all of our guests enjoy touring it and dining at the Club. |
