Interlude Tours: Luxury Travel to Hollywood from Indianapolis

The tour (two guaranteed departures currently scheduled):

Hollywood: Lights, Camera, Action!
Behind-the-scenes tour of the Golden Age of Hollywood
Itinerary for November 8-13, 2009 (6 days, 5 nights)
Itinerary for March 14-19, 2010 (6 days 5 nights)

If you have ever been interested in really digging into the world of Hollywood and learning all about it, this is the tour for you! It hits the sweet spot of density and enjoyment (lots of places and events!), convenience and relaxation (we pamper you, do all the driving, take care of all the details for 0% fuss, 100% vacation!) and total time and money invested. A tremendous value, in other words. Plus, it’s a Travel Alliance Partners guaranteed departure and can never be canceled due to a lack of participation.

I want to talk about two special things on this tour and then get into some of the details. To get the flavor of this magical town through a genuine experience, you will be in the audience for the taping of a hit TV show, and you will meet a Hollywood insider! We can reveal neither the show nor the person before the tour, but we can indeed assure you that both will be really cool.

Here are some, but not all, of the things you’ll experience on this tour to give you a very rich experience of Tinsel Town:

• Historic Hollywood driving tour with an excellent guide providing information and stories about the following as you drive past:
  • Paramount Studios
  • Hollywood Cemetery
  • Capital Records
  • Cinerama Dome
• Interior tours of the following interesting places:
  • Hollywood History Museum
  • Max Factor Building
  • Kodak Theater
  • Major Hollywood movie palace (to be determined)
  • Walk of Fame (the stars)
• Incredible tour of Warner Bros. Studios (truly “the works”! Also, this is where you will experience the taping of the TV show.)
• Private screening of “Forever Hollywood” tribute to stars past and present in Sid Grauman’s historic 1922 Egyptian Theater (this is where you will meet the Hollywood insider!)
• Driving tour of Sunset Boulevard, then shopping on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills

Quite a lot of things! Personally, I would love to tour the Kodak Theater, about which Wikipedia says,

The Kodak Theatre is a live theatre in the Hollywood and Highland retail, dining, and entertainment complex on Hollywood Boulevard and North Highland Avenue in Hollywood. Since its opening on November 9, 2001, the theatre has been the home of the annual Academy Awards Ceremonies (The Oscars), which were first held there in March 2002, and is the first permanent home for the awards. The theatre is rented to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for weeks before the Oscar night. During the rest of the year, it hosts numerous live concerts, award shows, symphony performances and others.

The last time I was in Hollywood was 1979, when I was eight years old (I could definitely use this tour–it’s been awhile!). One morning in our hotel coffee shop, we saw Ray Bolger (who played the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz) dining and chatting with a friend. Who might you see on your own tour? (Definitely the Hollywood insider!)

Please call today to reserve your spots on this life-changing vacation! We welcome reservations from Indianapolis, where we are based, or from any location in the United States or Canada.

Jo Ann Carr with Travel Alliance Partners at the Crazy Horse Memorial

Our tours offer a true “interlude” from your everyday life that refreshes and reinvigorates you! For this reason, even if you have a busy schedule, an Interlude tour is an investment that pays big dividends in happiness and productivity!

Recently, Interlude President Jo Ann Carr traveled to South Dakota and provided the photo above and the following story:

Recently I traveled to the Black Hills of South Dakota to see several of our monumental landmarks. We were able to take in Mount Rushmore both during the day and for their impressive and patriotic evening lighting ceremony.

We also got special treatment at the Crazy Horse Memorial. We were taken by van to the top of this sculpture in progress – that’s our group standing on the outstretched arm of Crazy Horse. You can see just how monstrous this sculpture is!

Then we rode among the buffalo by jeep at the Custer State Park! What an experience. Dinner, of course, was buffalo, now one of my favorite entrees.

We are all familiar with Mt. Rushmore from photographs, but it’s one of those things that everyone raves about after seeing in person–photos really can’t do it justice!

We have a guaranteed departure tour (i.e., it will never be canceled due to a lack of participation) that includes Mt. Rushmore and the Crazy Horse Memorial scheduled for July 11-18, and its itinerary is amazing. Day two is when you will experience these two great monuments, but you will also visit Custer State Park, Badlands National Park, the Akta Lakota Museum, Fort Mandan, Knife River Indian Villages, the Black Hills, and more. For anyone with an interest in Native American culture, this trip is an absolute must!

Since this is an escorted vacation, we will be doing all the driving, pampering you and ensuring your comfort and enjoyment at every stage–0% fuss, 100% vacation!

Spots remaining on this trip are limited, as is time to plan, so please call us today and we will have everything taken care of for you in a matter of moments! We welcome reservations from Indianapolis, where we are based, as well as from any location in the United States or Canada.

Note: Your experience at the Crazy Horse Memorial may differ somewhat from the one described above, as this was a special tour for the Travel Alliance Partners–but it will nonetheless be spectacular!
