Lodging & Travel

We are glad to have Pacific Palms Resort as the headquarters hotel of the Global Reunion.  Pacific Palms Resort is offering attendees of the Global Reunion a discount nightly rate of $129 (plus 10% occupancy tax) for Deluxe Rooms (single/double occupancy) for the duration of the Global Reunion as well as for the week after.  Please see http://lscobasc.org/gr2014/travel.html for details. 

Transportation Between Pacific Palms Resort and Local Airports – Pacific Palms Resort is centrally located between many Southern California area airports and other important destinations. While neither the Pacific Palms Resort nor the Global Reunion Organizing Committee provide transportation between the Resort and local airports, there are many third-party options (e.g., taxi, shuttle, limousine). See the Getting Here page on the Pacific Palms web sitehttp://www.pacificpalmsresort.com/about-us/getting-here for details. 

Carpooling and Transportation Assistance – Many of the Global Reunion events are held away from Pacific Palms Resort. To accommodate out-of-town old boys and guests, we will try to arrange for carpooling between the Resort and off-site Global Reunion events if you can let us know of your needs (how many people and for what events) before July 17. Please contact the Global Reunion organizing committee at [email protected].
