It's Coming!!!

Dear Family,

It's a little over 2 months till Reunion time (Thursday, June 22-Monday, June 26).  I just visited San Antonio's official website (www.sanantoniocvb.com) and am excited again.

Last week I met with Kathy and Gary to talk Reunion.  Today I will share activity stuff, then will send a later message with food stuff.

• Thursday:  Check-in at AmeriSuites (San Antonio/Northwest), 4303 AmeriSuites Drive


• Directions:  I-10 Exit 560 Ramsgate/Huebner, stay on access road, turn right on AmeriSuites Drive between County Line and Sea Island Restaurants.


• Friday: Downtown Riverwalk, 8 miles from hotel


• IMAX "The Alamo": Admission for Adults $9.25, Seniors 65 and over $8.33, Ages 12-17 $8.33, Ages 3-11 $6.25.  Rather than trying to do a group thing, we'll just have everyone buy their own tickets.


• The Alamo Tour--Free Admission--Very close to the IMAX


• Yanaguana Cruise--fancy name for the boat ride--2 choices

(1) Narrated tour is Adult $6.50, Seniors $4.50, Ages 5 and under $1.50
(2) River Taxi one Way $4.00, 24-hour pass $10.00

• El Mercado (514 W. Commerce) - Patterned after an authentic Mexican market, free admission.


• HemisFair Park, Tower of the Americas (Renovated, to be opened Summer 2006), site of 1968 HemisFair (which Jerry and I visited as newlyweds!).


• SATURDAY:  No Group plan, but possibilities are Sea World (16 miles from hotel) or Six Flags Fiesta (4 miles from hotel)


• Sea World is open 10 a.m.-10 p.m.  Online tickets are at 10% discount, the same price as getting group tickets, so we'll just have everyone take care of their own tickets. The online tickets are Adult $42.29, Ages 3-9 $33.29 or 2-day Adult $46.99, Ages 3-9 $36.99.  Plus tax.  If you buy at the gate, AARP members get $5.00 off.


• Six Flags Fiesta Texas online tickets are $34.59 incl. tax which is $15 off the front gate admission. Under 3 Free.


• SUNDAY:  Services of your choice, Visiting, Games, Sightseeing, etc.

P.S.  I ran this by Kathy, and this is her response: I think it all sounds good. The only other thing I would like to mention is they have a really neat zoo there, and used to have trolley tours of some of the older neighborhoods. I don't know if that is still available. I saw Roxie on Saturday and had good time with the musical. I am feeling somewhat better. I am getting ready for Mackenzie's big one year blast. I hope this helps. As far as services for Sunday, I figure most will just do their own thing. Anyway, love you, Kathy
