Debbie, I agree that some folks think the SAC fees are high, but I'm
not one of them. We are fortunate to be able to have such good
amenities for the price we pay. If it were me it sounds like the
volcano dinner would be fun and a good learning experience. Provided,
of course the weather is favorable and they have a good telescope. It
also might we worthwhile to being a list, with coordinates, of what
you would like to see. Even something not normally available from
Arizona latitudes would be a memorable observation. Perhaps you could
do a Show-n-Tell for SAC once you return.

Thanks. I am still looking some up, but I found 2. One for
$25.00 top of the Hyatt every night. The other is top of
Haleakala volcano,dinner, sunset view and telescope and astronomy
lessons for $75.00. And some think our yearly fees are high.
