Downtown Base
Walkable or quick rideshare access to food, bars, music, and the river trail.
The Idea
Downtown energy, lake option open.
Nothing is locked yet. The survey will tell us whether the group wants a downtown or Central East Austin base, a lake house setup, or a mix with one bigger day trip.
Golf Optional
Make it a priority activity, tag along, or skip it cleanly.
BBQ + Dinner
BBQ crawl, food tour, or one proper dinner reservation.
Lake Or Pool Day
Boat, pool hang, Barton Springs, or a low-key day outside if the group wants it.
Tentative Flow
Enough structure, still flexible.
This is a placeholder rhythm until the group survey tells us the best September or October weekend, lodging style, and budget lane.

Before You Ask
The survey decides the details.
What weekend is it?
One September or October 2026 weekend will be picked based on the most overlap.
Where are we staying?
Open question: downtown/Central East Austin, lake house, or cheapest solid option.
What should I budget?
The survey uses realistic shared-cost ranges. Flights from Philly or California may add several hundred more.
What about food or travel constraints?
Add allergies, mobility needs, early flights, or hard no's in the survey.
Action Item
Tell us what works.
Name, email, September and October dates, travel origin, budget, lodging preference, golf, top activities, and any constraints. The planning spreadsheet runs from this.
