Participants will stay at the Homewood Suites at the Riverwalk in San Antonio. Trip features include a cocktail party, free daily snacks and a breakfast buffet. Transportation will be provided to San Marcos, Texas, where Southeastern will play Southwest Texas.        For the trip to San Francisco, the Southeastern group will fly out of New Orleans for a five-day, four-night stay, October 22-26. The group will stay at the Grand Hyatt at Union Square in the heart of San Francisco. The package includes a Napa Valley tour, wine tastings, a tailgate party, and transportation to and from the airport and the football game in Moraga, Calif., where the Lions will take on St. Mary’s University.          “There will also be time to sightsee on your own,” Pittman said.        July 10 is the reservation deadline. “This is another historic first in the return of football where a group will travel to cheer on the Lions football team,” said Jo Ann Bowman of Carlson Wagon-lit Travel. “It is going to be a great time for everyone that travels with us. We encourage everyone to call as soon as possible since there is limited space and we hate to disappoint any Lions fans.”       To make reservations or for additional information, call 1-800-264-4044.
