Vanier 1976 Grads and Friends C/O Roch Schafers and Michelle (Tellier) Support by Ron Cust Maybe

Hi to all! Vanier Grad 76 or whatever!

We now have dates and a plan for our birthday get together. I have spoken to the reservations desk at the Hotel Zihuatanejo Caracol and they have availability for our whole group for the time period of January 26th to Feb 9th, 2018.

This is a Mexican run small hotel (26 rooms) that is only 100 meters from the beach. No steep climbs or grueling stairways to get to your hotel. Zihua gets quite steep as you get further from the beach.

There is a beautiful bay with 3 different beaches and lots of activities available. The town is a short walk across a bridge over the canal and boasts a good selection of restaurants and music venues with some good bands.

The group price for 20 to 40 people ( I require a quick tally of how many people are committing to this ) is 1,222 Mx pesos per room at double occupancy. Assume around $110 Can per room once you include the 19% tax.

Westjet flies direct to Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo airport from Calgary and so there is a good chance that we could all be on the same plane if we put some effort into the organization. Some will come from B.C. and others from Alberta. Do-able!

We could open this event up to others who are not from our year but have been known to play well in our sandbox. It is assumed that spouses are part of the group.

Please respond quickly once you receive the email so we don't have to change dates with the hotel.

This will be a ton of fun with a terrific group.

Hasta luego,

Roch Schafers
