Hello Reunion People!!
I wanted to give you an update on everything that is being done behind the scenes for the reunion:
- If you have not reserved your room, you need to do that this weekend in order to receive the group rate. They will be releasing the room holds on Monday August 26 for anything that has not been reserved. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO PAY IN ADVANCE. You simply need to reserve the room and pay when you arrive.
- Events are not being planned for Thursday.
- Friday we are planning a harbor cruise either for the early afternoon or for sunset. I am waiting on a final pricing and a link to sign up for reservations.
- Saturday afternoon at 1pm, we will be going to the Midway Museum. They are getting me special pricing and time reservation for our group and I will post that link as well.
- Saturday night is the planned Reunion Dinner. It will be at Jimmy's Famous American Tavern across the street from the hotel. We will have our own room and designated waiters. I will be posting a link to a Google form for you to sign up and pick your entrees in advance. You will need to bring cash or be prepared to Venmo/Zelle/Cash App me or Joe for the final bill as they will not let everyone pay individually. More information on that in an upcoming post on Sunday/Monday.
- Other restaurants in the area for eating on other nights are as follows: Pizza Nova, Mitch's Seafood, Harbor Greek Cafe, Primo's Mexican Food and Cantina, Point Break Cafe, and more. Some are accessible by walking, cab or Uber. Plan to meet up with a friend or two and share a ride.
- The Hotel has their own restaurant called Point Loma, and their own Bar called the Bayside Bar. Please feel free to utilize these as well.
Any other activities that you wish to do in and around town are up to you. If you think you and some shipmates want to get together and do something, share with the group and people may join you. Groups of more than 10 may want to call ahead and get special pricing.
I hope this information helps you all and makes you excited for getting together in just 5 short weeks!!!
