We've had Brats who couldn't make the reunion banging down our doors to purchase leftover swag. We don't blame them.  It doesn't get much more awesome than an Aramco BrAt beach towel and 2017 reunion logo beach bag. Get 'em while they're hot from the online suq and show off your BrAt pride at the pool or beach!  

Quantities/sizes are very limited on some items.

When is the last time you saw your BBFF (Best Brat Friend Forever)?  Too long? Sure, it's fun to stay connected online and admire each other's silly selfies on Facebook and Instagram, but wouldn't that selfie be soooo much better with you in it, too?  There's still time to register online and make a wajid zain selfies and wajid zain memories with your BBFFs, and the Hilton Ft. Lauderdale Marina has a new selfie station under the palms, just waiting for you! #ishouldseemyBBFF

Looking for a short, fun excursion during the reunion and a great way to get around?  Experience "the Venice of America" via Water Taxi! The Hilton Marina/Convention Center stop (#6) is just a walk across the hotel parking lot to the Intercoastal Waterway and services both Ft. Lauderdale and Hollywood routes.

The Ft. Lauderdale route consists of 12 stops connecting top shopping, dining and beach spots. The narrated cruise will take you past the spectacular yachts and impressive homes along Millionaires Row.

The 7-stop Hollywood route will take you past Port Everglades and down the Intercoastal Waterway to Dania Beach and Hollywood Beach with the famed Broadwalk.  Water Taxi also offers a Hollywood Express with only 2 stops - Hilton Marina/Convention Center (#6) and Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort (#H1). If you plan on exploring some of the other choice beaches near the hotel, what a great way to get there!

Passes will allow unlimited rides for the day and may be purchased directly from the hotel Concierge or onboard. Discounts are available for evening only, seniors, children and Military personnel. For full list of current fares, check Water Taxi web site.

There's still time to register for the reunion and join us in Ft. Lauderdale. If you're on the fence about attending, hop off on the right side of the fence - the one with Blue Wave beaches and lots of Brats!

What's a Blue Wave beach, you ask? "Blue Wave" is a certification from the Clean Beaches Coalition that indicates a clean, safe, accessible and thoughtfully managed beach.  In Texas, for example, there is only 1 "Blue Wave" beach - Rockport Beach.  In Greater Ft. Lauderdale, there are 6 (six) for you to choose from!
