Mustang Beach, Port Aransas Fly-in, Dec 2nd & 3rd
Okay, we've got 19 people (according to our other poll) definitely stoked to do a PofA Fly-in in Port Aransas, Texas -- the only city on Mustang Island.
Here is a tentative plan:
Friday Afternoon/Evening
Arrivals. We will pick you up and shuttle you to the hotel. (If you want to stay somewhere fancier than our joint, they do exist -- but I doubt they will pick you up at the airport.)
Because this is a celebration of our name change to Amelia's Landing, I have set our prices for y'all ridiculously low -- just $119.95 for BOTH nights for a single queen aviation themed room. That price includes breakfast brought to the room in the morning. (If you want a bigger room, we will probably have them available for slightly more moola.)
Because arrivals will be sporadic throughout the day, we will just do drinks and hors d'ouerves at poolside that night.
Saturday Morning
This town is known for deep sea and bay fishing. If we get enough interest, we will put together a charter trip. They like to go out EARLY, however, so no whining about having to get up at oh-dark-thirty!
Alternatively, there is a world class, Arnold Palmer designed golf course, Newport Dunes, just down the road from the airport. I haven't swung a club in years, but if y'all answer in the affirmative, we can do golf instead.
Saturday Afternoon
About 2 PM, we will do a cookout, either at poolside or in our hangar (if the weather doesn't cooperate). This will be typical island fare, but we hope to have some other options for those who don't like seafood.
Saturday Night
At dark, we will trek down to the docks, to watch the annual Christmas Boat Parade. This event features elaborately decorated boats, parading past for prizes and awards.
Depending on how late this goes, we may do a bar crawl, or head back to the hotel for drinks at poolside.
I am working lots of loose ends, but if I can get live music at poolside, we'll have it.
Please fill out the attached poll, to gauge interest in fishing or golfing options!
