2023 Reunion info
15th Medical Battalion Association Reunion,
26-30 April 2023. Austin, TX. Our host is the Holiday Inn
Austin Midtown, 6000 Middle Fiskville Rd, Austin, TX. Reservations
512-451-5757, Group code, is MBA. POC: Baby Huey, medevac2@15thmedbnassociation.org
or call or text 830-456-5580. Austin is a "happin' town" with lots to do in your free time.
The host hotel is a mid-town hotel providing our
rooms, hospitality room, and banquet hall in the same facility. The reunion
rate is $129/room night, complimentary breakfast in the morning, free
parking, and all the usual amenities. We will have a Texas barbeque (of course) dinner for
all y’all on Saturday evening, followed by our annual auction. We don’t have
annual dues, so please plan on bringing something to be auctioned off that
evening.
Though the hotel doesn't allow pets, there are a number of boarding
facilities within a couple of miles.
Austin
Canine Central is less that a mile away from the hotel.
There will be an open
pairs challenge bean bag throwing
competition Friday afternoon. The winners will receive a
special prize brought all the way from Omaha, NE.
You will have a chance (at an additional cost of $40/person) to join
us on an evening river cruise and an all-you-want-to-eat Mexican buffet on the boat. The highlight
of the river cruise is watching 1.5 million bats
depart their roost from under the South Congress Bridge. If you ain't be seen a
bat emergence, it's quite a site to watch.
Transportation Options From Airport to Hotel
Take an uber
For those planning on flying, there is no shuttle from
the airport to the host hotel, so now is the time to download the Uber app and take a short test drive before arriving at the airport. Uber's
rate is about $18, with a customary tip is 10-20%.
Rent a car
If you're planning on renting a car, the 15th Med Bn Assn has an account
with National that is supposed to save you 15%.
