Bus tour to King's Bay/ St. Mary's (includes lunch at the Base Galley) - There are security issues for touring the base so you will need to be on the guest list and have photo ID. Everyone will have to go through three security checks – at the gate, at the gate to the piers, and at the boat. Don't bring anything that airport security would have a problem with. Only one camera per group will be allowed. Everyone will need to fill out a security form ahead of time. We are hopeful that, besides touring the base, we can get a tour of a trident missile boat in Kings Bay. The minimum age for a child going on the trident submarine is 8yrs old. We will also tour the Submarine museum at St. Mary's. We will run two groups simultaneously. While one is at the Museum, the other will be at the base. The max group size for the submarine base and tour is 200. Attendance is on a first come first serve basis determined by your registration date. This tour is not for those who have difficulty walking long distances, climbing boat ladders or those confined to a wheelchair. The walk from the buses to the pier is approx. 500 yards. Start exercising!

The "Welcome Aboard" reception will be held on the Lady St. John's River boat. The boat can accommodate the first 300 people. The River Cruise group pointed out that there is no wheelchair access to or on the boats and everyone is asked to wear sensible shoes and plan for a three hour tour.

Tour of St. Augustine is a guided bus tour with several stops in the area. Lunch is not included as there are many places to stop and eat along the tour.

Reunion Dinner Banquet will be held at the Wyndham Jacksonville Riverwalk Hotel. A 4 piece steel band plays for 4 hours. Some demo tracks are available at their website www.floribbeans.com. Dinner choices will be made during registration.

-         fresh green salad or classic Caesar salad
