Save the date—2011 Ranger Rendezvous scheduled

[Pop]

Me too.....

Was wondering if anyone knew if there is a group discount or special for the hotels during this event? My husband will be there participating and I am coming down for the event as well. He told me to ask about this, because last year he believes there was a group discount. I will ask the hotels when I inquire as well. Also, is there a hotel that is preferred or recommend for the event?

Thank you

The 75thRRA has our reunion then also & we get a convention rate. Is your Ranger a member?

[Krystyna]

Ranger K.Ingraham,
He is not a member. So, I will try to just find the best deal I can, in addition to location for the event. Thank you for your reply. He knew there was something about a discount last year, however was not sure on the details.

Don't worry about not being a member (he should be though) just lie and tell them at the Holiday Inn North that you're with the 75th Ranger Regiment Association when you reserve your room and you'll get the discount.

Christ, I can't beleive how honest some people are!

When scheduling flights for this, keep in mind that American now has 2 flights a day that are direct to Columbus from Dallas/Fort Worth.
Less options on travel times, but much less hassle than going through ATL. If you factor in the shuttle from Atlanta to Columbus ($60 round trip) there's not usually a ton of difference in price.

Both times I have been before I flew into Columbus, via Atlanta and both time I had trouble. First time the flight from Atl to Col was about three hours late. Last time they canceled the flight from Col back to Atl and took us by bus. Barely made my connection. This time I am flying into Atl and renting a car. Arriving Sunday and leaving Sunday if anyone wants to link up in Atlanta. (At least I didn't ruin a tire!)(Or forget my registration)

In the past, I've flown into Atlanta and rented the car there and drove to Columbus. The rental doesn't cost any more to do it in Atlanta and, with the way people drive in Georgia, it's only about an hour and a half to Columbus and that puts you there sooner than flying from Atlanta.

What are you doing this year, riding with me????

[RangerX]

Situation-dependent, I am going to try and make a day or two. Living in the ATL has its advantages.

Hey, we have got to con somebody that lives close by to host us for a BBQ this year. Kilted Heathen did such a good job last time, but he moved away I believe. Shame on him! Bubba did it time before that, then he moved away. Shame on him! Now who wants to move?

The HH6 and I are taking the new travel trailer and starting out 10 days early and meandering across the Country. We're going to stay at the Lake Pines Campground and RV Park just outside Columbus. Financially, it's about a push with flying and renting a car and a room, even with the discount. And driving will be a LOT more fun! I figure I should sober up somewhere around Abuequerque on the way back!
