Yes, it's back in service. It leaves twice a month from the 99cent store on Meridian. This month it is going on Wednesday, the 8th and also on the 22nd. It arrives at 7:40 am and leaves for the Casino at 8 am. It leaves the casino for the return trip at 3 pm, getting back around 5 pm. You must have reservations which you can make by calling 800-777-7529 ext. 6000. (If no one answers, leave a message.) It is a free bus and if you earn 200 points, you will receive $20 in free play and $10 in comps which you can use for food,etc. There is no bingo, but the table games usually open at 1 pm….. and the slot machines are fun! You need your i.d. and player's club card (or get one when there) and the bus requires you to wear a mask. You don't need to wear a mask in the casino, but they recommend it. (Sharon, who is the transportation liaison, said this is all subject to change.)

Take a guided tour of Mission Inn. Enjoy a live evening of music, lights, lots of food options and holiday lights. On the third day, they will tour the Float Warehouse to see the floats under construction and visit the Reagan Library. They will tour Hollywood the next day. On the 5th day, they will go to the Tournament of Roses Parade – early in the morning after checking out of their hotel. Cost is $999 pp dbl and $300 more for single. $100 deposit with booking and final payment on Nov. 16.
They have 2 Mystery Trips planned – the first on Oct. 7th for $125 pp. You will find out on the trip where you are going. These are fun day trips. The other is on November 9th for $99 pp . Again, you will find out where you are going on the trip.
They will have an open house and cruise information later in the season. Call me if you want more information or if you would like to go to the open house when it is planned.
