I
had sent an e-mail some time ago with the dates of April 12, 13, 14 2011 for
our next reunion in San Diego, California. From the response I received
back these dates were workable for all but one and they may be able to work it
out. I actually got in trouble with my granddaughter as she wanted to go
and will still be in school but these dates are about as late in the spring
that we could schedule and still be able to get seasonal rates.
I
was able to get an even better rate than previously announced as well as a
complementary hospitality room. The room rate is $92 plus taxes and the
hotel will give us this same rate for a couple of days before and after our
reunion dates. Below are some of the particulars for our hotel.
The Hampton Inn San Diego Airport/Sea World, in San
Diego, CA is very pleased to submit the following Letter of Agreement to Head
Quarters Company 9th Marines.

INDIVIDUAL
CALL-IN:
If reservations are to be made by individual call-in, please
instruct your attendees to call reservations directly at
619-299-6633 and identify themselves as attending Head Quarters Company 9th
Marines. There is a 24-hour cancellation policy on all
reservations. “No Shows” will be charged one (1) night’s room and
tax. All reservations must be guaranteed by either valid credit card or
one night’s deposit.
The hotel has also set up a webpage
specifically for us if you prefer to make reservations that way, I made
my reservations using it to see how user friendly it was and it was okay.
Be sure to enter your e-mail address and they will send you a confirmation
letter. Here is the link for making reservation by internet:

Please let me know when you make your reservations
so I can keep tally of remaining rooms. Also if you hope to attend please
make your reservation early as I only blocked 30 rooms and if we may need more
the sooner I know the easier it will be to request more rooms.
I have used Hampton Inn several times and my
experience with them has all been positive, this particular one is centrally
located for our interests and has been more than helpful while negotiating with
them. They only offer non-smoking rooms which I hope is acceptable
to all, I’m not sure if they even allow smoking of cigarettes in California you
may have to go to a neighboring state to smoke. Also our hotel does not
have a pets policy, I didn’t notice this until after I had committed to
them.
As with all our reunions we will do our best
to contain costs. We do have one of our own that lives in San Diego
(Warren Brazas) that will be able to coordinate our activities while
there. I’ll be talking to him soon. For sure we will schedule t
trip to MCRD which is very close to our hotel.
If you have any questions please contact me.
