TRANSPORTATION FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE HILTON HOTEL.

For those of you flying to the reunion there are a few options for transportation to the Hilton Hotel.  You may consider a taxi, which will cost about $40-$50 each way.  We have arranged for special discounted transportation rates with SuperShuttle.  The discounted rate is $15 per person each way ($30 per person round trip).  Reservations need to be made in advance either by phone or on-line.  SuperShuttle can be reached at (916) 648-2507 Option 2.  The discount code EACZ5 must be provided. All reservations must be prepaid in order to get the discount.  Reservations for SuperShuttle can be made online at the following web address http://groups.supershuttle.com/vhpa2013.html. 

You can also take the BART.  The “yellow line” will take you from the Airport to the Powell St. Station which is located about 3 blocks from the hotel. The cost is about $8.25 per person each way.

War Stories and Historic Presentation Forums:

We now have new traditions at reunions presenting historic presentation forums of professional talks on Vietnam War topics and a more light-hearted War Story Contest where members tell their best stories for fun and glory.  For more information about the events and the DVDs that are available go to  2006 DVD, 2007 DVD, 2008 DVD, 2009 DVD, 2010 DVD, 2011 DVD and 2012 DVD .  These events are very popular so please let us know if you would like to participate.

Note to VHPA members:  If you or someone you know has a relatively professional presentation on a topic of interest to VHPA members related to the Vietnam War, we encourage you to submit the information ASAP.
