Austin Trip in February

After our meeting today we sat around and talked about our upcoming trip to Austin. Gigi and Diane will probably post official information soon but many of us are planning on having our own rides down to Austin and going earlier than Sunday morning.

For anyone who needs it, the TAR Convention is being held at the Hyatt Hotel on Congress. Three groups of us have rooms at the EMBASSY SUITES right across the street.

The number for EMBASSY SUITES is 512-469-9000. Some of us are arriving Friday, Feb 22nd, others are arriving Saturday, Feb 23rd. Our day in Austin is supposed to be Sunday, Feb 24th.

Oh, rates for the rooms are $179 for two doubles, $189 for a king, and $149 for a small double room (??). If you're a member of AAA or AARP (as someone mentioned) you might get a discount. There are apparently no discounts for TAR Convention member.

More as the trip approaches.

Had a great time yesterday, can't wait till our next session....

I have made my reservation at: Doubletree Club Hotel Austin University Area
800-346-8357
1617 Interstate Hwy 35 N
Austin, TX 78702
If you go to Hotels.com, it's only $104.00 per night and the hotel is only 3/4 mile away from the Capitol. I'm going down there on Saturday as well with my significant other. Hope we can get together for some fellowship!
