Tac Tankers Association 
2012 Reunion to Seattle
May 27-
31, 2012

      While setting up our itinerary, we had hopes of trying to provide as much variety as possible and to be downtown in the midst of everything. The prices might have been less expensive near the airport, but we did not want to have to spend time commuting 12+ miles back and forth to the city daily. The Renaissance Hotel is very nicely located up the sloping hill of Seattle off Madison and Fifth, and they offered us the special rate we wanted IF we could come on the Memorial Day weekend. The amenities are mentioned in the box of the Registration Form and Horizon Coach Lines/Gray Line Seattle will be busing us to our points of interest starting out with dinner on Sunday evening and a 2 hour City Tour on Monday morning —Memorial Day.

    There are 9 different tours and again, we are going ala carte so you pick out your activities.  Please View newsletter for event ideas.
