Save the Date! The USS Midway Veterans Association’s next reunion will take place April 23-25, 2015 in San Diego. The Wyndham San Diego Bayside Hotel (www.wyndhamsandiegobay.com/) will again be our homeport. Conveniently located close to the USS Midway Museum (http://www.midway.org/) and downtown attractions, the hotel has received a multi-million dollar facelift since we were last there in 2013, and you’re going to like the look and feel of the place, especially the remodeled rooms. Our negotiated room rate is $139/night, a very good price for springtime in San Diego. This offer is good for 3 days before and 3 days after the reunion, as long as rooms are available. So book early if you plan to stay over. The Wyndham has established our personal MVA online reservation link as well as an 877 number for reserving rooms by phone. We’re planning some great activities on the Ship, on the Bay and about Town. No Dinner on the Flight Deck this time, but it’s still going to be SPECTACULAR! Stay tuned to this website for the latest news on the reunion. Download MVA’s membership application here.
