<b>mamawalrus</b> PLEASE rent a car. It is so much more convenient and more economical than public transportation. You can take the metra to Chicago which is what many do d/t the traffic there is horrible and parking from what I understand is expensive.<br />

Driving around RTC is very simple...the roads are great. There are tolls. If I were you I'd take a GPS or rent one and write down addresses to airport, hotel, reataurants, etc. You can also rent an EZPass for the tolls but from MKE airport to…

We will be in Chicago in Feb.... taking public transportation like the Metra, is that a rail system? I am really lost on all this. Debating to rent a car or take public transportation. Being it will be freezing I dont want to wait around in the cold either but driving scares me to death with tolls and being the winter.....snow??????<br />
Anyone have any info on public transportation so that I can understand all of it available in Chicago?

I am SO glad that I found this forum. I don't know my son's PIR yet.<br />
I use a wheelchair. Does anyone know if these shuttles tthat have been mentioned are wheelchair accessible? I will have my manual wheelchair. We live in AZ, so I am not crazy about renting a car and finding our way around ( although I do have a GPS).<br />
<br />
Thanx In Advance!<br />

I just booked the Springhill Suites near PIR and the rate was good and the hotel is new and non-smoking. Came as a recommendation from another Navy Mom who was there for PIR a couple of months ago. After going to the website, I think it will be perfect;) I think we are going to rent a car and go into Chicago one or two days while there.

Did your son leave enter boot camp 10/25? Mine did and had hoped his PIR woudl be 12/17 but am hearing now it might be 8 weeks PLUS the 3 days processing for a total fo 9 weeks or 12/24 PIR. Can't imagine they would have PIR on Christmas Eve. Flights would sure be expensive...

That's my concern too - Thanksgiving weekend - the most traveled weekend of the year. I wanted to get a package deal on Priceline, but it's not really refundable or changeable without considerable cost so I guess I'll have to book everything separately for the peace of mind of being able to cancel. Google "hotels near navy training center" or something like that and you'll get a whole list of hotels in the area.

You will want a car just to get around. Stuff is not close by. You can take the public transportation into Chicago, but you will really want a car to do other stuff with your sailor like go to the mall, etc.
