Please share any info or ideas on great restaurants to take our Sailor to after PIR, and fun things to do that we can get our boy back by 8:00 at night on Saturday.  Yeah!!! Can hardly wait.  Almost there.

I had birth certificates and SS cards for my two minors and they do check both of them!!!! All the adults needed were a valid Id or valid DL and to know your sailors Division number.

Last summer, my youngest son and I took Amtrak from central KS to Chicago and on to the East. We took a small soft-sided cooler with snacks and drinks for the trip.We were not in a sleeper car, so had to sleep in our seats. We took light weight blankets, and wished we had taken comfortable pillows. The pillows Amtrak provides are tiny. Have a great trip!

I am taking Amtrak from NY to Chicago.. overnight train.. we are looking forward to it... w/5 kids, they'll hopefully sleep all night! :)

Hi TxLadyJane! Enjoyed reading your PIR story! From what I have been reading, it seems convenient to take the hotel shuttle in the morning! What is the situation after PIR however-very crowded/long wait to catch the shuttle back to the hotel ? I am interested to hear various comments!
Comment by CDanielleR on March 17, 2011 at 12:46pm
Hi, I didn't see this anywhere in the discussions. But I saw alot of information about airline flights. But I was considering catching the AMTRAK to Chicago, its not really far from where I live. And I know there is a Metra Train that can take you to Great Lakes. I was wondering has anyone done it this way? If so how was your experience?
Comment by Mom2aSailor on March 16, 2011 at 9:46pm
I think I am going to go to DMV and get them all photo ids.. my 14 yo has one for Boy scout outings, and I just think it will be easier if the rest have it also.
