My son left July 02 and I never knew I would miss him as much. The waiting is what I don't like. We got a call from him for like 3 seconds just to hear him say he is ok. Well this is a long waiting process. I wish him all the success in the world through boot camp....

Hello, this is my first post to this site. My daughter left for bootcamp on 7-17, and I am looking at hotels in the Waukegan. Anyone have any experience with the Holiday Inn Express? Looks to be a good hotel.
