Phil & Amy take travelers<br />
across the country<br />
Phil & Amy, husband<br />
and wife recording artists,<br />
are well known for their<br />
Chicagoland performances<br />
and recent years of soldout<br />
shows at Starved Rock<br />
Lodge. What fans may not<br />
know is that they also have<br />
been offering travel tours<br />
for more than 25 years.<br />
Yes, Phil & Amy offer<br />
deluxe motorcoach travel<br />
trips to destinations both<br />
near and far. With each trip,<br />
their “family” of followers<br />
continues to grow. Instead<br />
of piling into your family<br />
vehicle, you board a motorcoach<br />
for an excursion<br />
to a fabulous destination.<br />
For overnights, one might<br />
think that spending all that<br />
time on a bus, even with<br />
a comfortable washroomequipped<br />
motorcoach,<br />
would be a bit much, but<br />
more than that, the motorcoach<br />
ride itself is part of<br />
the enjoyment of the overall<br />
experience. Travelers<br />
enjoy snacks, games and<br />
fun, watch movies/videos<br />
together and enjoy quiet<br />
time, too. The camaraderie<br />
aboard the coach on a Phil<br />
& Amy trip is unbeatable<br />
and a large part of why<br />
these trips are so popular.<br />
All on board may start out<br />
as strangers, but they end<br />
up as “family” and friends.<br />
Upcoming Phil & Amy<br />
musical performances at<br />
Starved Rock include both<br />
multi-days in August and<br />
December. Added this year<br />
is an overnight/stay option<br />
at the lodge. One-day<br />
theatre performances are<br />
always part of the trip list<br />
repertoire. Overnight travelers<br />
are looking forward<br />
to June’s Cape Cod Tour.<br />
Later in June, St. Christopher<br />
Tours visits a favorite<br />
treasure, Mackinac Island,<br />
Michigan. Guests can<br />
see the Mackinac Bridge,<br />
bikes, horse and carriages,<br />
famous fudge and<br />
the historic Grand Hotel.<br />
Upon arrival in the U.P.,<br />
enjoy a meal overlooking<br />
beautiful Lake Huron.<br />
On Mackinac, the group<br />
enjoys a horse drawn carriage<br />
tour of the Island and<br />
the famous Grand Hotel<br />
Luncheon Buffet. Spend<br />
the afternoon touring the<br />
Grand, enjoying views<br />
of The Straights from the<br />
world’s largest porch. With<br />
two nights, three days on<br />
the Island, there is plenty<br />
of free time to shop, explore,<br />
bike ride, tour historic<br />
Fort Mackinac or just<br />
find a spot to relax and take<br />
in the surrounding beauty.<br />
October offers a threeday<br />
visit to Frankenmuth,<br />
Michigan, a great Bavarian<br />
getaway featuring Bronner’s<br />
Christmas Wonderland.<br />
And in 2020, there<br />
will be a breathtaking<br />
scenic trip to The Grand<br />
Canyon and The Southwest<br />
Canyonlands. Guests<br />
will view various points<br />
of Grand Canyon National<br />
Park, one of the wonders of<br />
the world. Travel the crown<br />
of the Scenic Byway System,<br />
Highway 12, and the<br />
ever-changing landscape<br />
of Canyon Country. Travelers<br />
will also enjoy dinner<br />
served in a dining room<br />
overlooking the Colorado<br />
River. For a night to remember,<br />
head up river on<br />
an evening boat ride to enjoy<br />
one of the most unique<br />
sound and light shows in<br />
the world: 40,000 watts<br />
illuminating the canyon<br />
walls, bringing them to<br />
life, an experience visitors<br />
have hailed as the “highlight<br />
of our vacation.”<br />
Each stop on this tour will<br />
leave visitors in awe of its<br />
unique beauty, which only<br />
the forces of nature can<br />
accomplish over centuries<br />
of time. For more information,<br />
