Ugh! Another grand Chi Chi planned golf vacay with the SOGAGG that I will have
to miss. I love having summer and xmas off, but when school is in, I can only
take be out of the classroom for official school biz. Having Mary also being a
college professor works out great, but is killing my SOGAGG play time.
Look forward to getting out over the summer and bumming that I am missing
Maderas, but will be deep in nature in Sequoia / Yosemite country.
Any other June events planned? Please let me know if I can help plan one.
Best,
Rico aka OB
PS I think I going to be SOB (Super Out of Bounds). The last time I played was
Balboa, yikes!

{}-->Chi Chi,If you ever decide to go into the vacation travel arrangement
business, please count me in as an investor…October is good here in principle,
although there are some dates taken (NDIA Fall Symposium, etc.). Given the
potential for tugs from Epsilon and family, I can’t commit on any specific
dates right now but will do so as October gets closer.Somebody told me Texas
BBQ is better than Kansas City BBQ. That’s worth checking I think…Cheers,/Ace

Subject: [sogagg] AUSTIN SOGAGG EVENT Hello Fellow Society Members
Well for those who had the courage to attend our April; I am happy to report
all members survived Vegas for another year. So, it is time to move on to a
potential fall outing for a Society get together here in AUSTIN TEXAS or ATX as
it is commonly known. As you all know the early bird catches the worm!
We'll I'm beginning my planning stage for a SOGAGG TX event this fall..
Your input is needed to get the ball rolling. Please respond to each of the
bold text questions.
TRAVEL
Southwest is probably your best bet since they offer a non-stop flight twice a
day from SD to AUS and return non-stop service.
Currently, the morning flight leaves at 0700 getting into Austin on Central
Time Zone at 1200. (Should allow plenty of time for an afternoon round before
check-in).
Returning flights on Sunday 0700 departure arriving at 0800 in San Diego with
the time change. The evening non-stop leaves at 2100 and arrives in SD at
2155.
RTrip Cost if booked now is $415. For those SW reward points holders it is
around 26,000 points for a RTrip ticket.
DATES
Dates are always most important. There are two times of the year where Austin
is crazy busy; spring South by SW in March and Austin City Limits music
festival the last weekend in Sep and first weekend in Oct. So keeping that in
mind, please indicate your availability and preferences for the following dates
(note I'm using a Wed start date but we can shift that to Thursday if needed):
Wed Sep 21 to Sun Sep 25
Wed Oct 12 to Sun Oct 16
Wed Oct 19 to Sun Oct 23
Wed Oct 27 to Sun Oct 31
First Date Preference : _____________
Second Date Preference: ____________
None of the Above Work: ____________
HOTEL
Securing lodging at a reasonable cost is probably also close to the top of the
list. Unfortunately, AFVC does not offer anything in metro Austin so that is
off the board. So unless someone has a connection with one of the major hotel
chains to get a super rate, the best option may be Sr or Govt rates for those
who qualify. I can try to work with the sales office of the preferred hotels
once we zero in on the numbers of members interested in making the trip.
