MILLENNIUM COUNTDOWN
There’s no champagne, but the location is spectacular: New Mexico’s Carlsbad Caverns for New Year’s Eve. Joni’s Journeys of El Cajon, Calif., offers an eight-day tour of New Mexico that includes three hours inside the caverns, with a ranger-led program of music and storytelling on the cave’s history (but no alcohol due to park rules); cocktails and dancing on Dec. 26; sightseeing in Santa Fe and Albuquerque; and a Dec. 30 dinner cruise on the Pecos River. The land-only price is $1,355 per person, double occupancy. Reservations: telephone (800) 564-6312.
