There is a discrepancy on when 061/062 did/are doing BattleStations. I have received 3 different dates from ladies in this group! So....hoping that last night was the night and you receive your calls today!

We are confirmed for our suite at Navy Gateway Inn! Now, I have to get my driver's license renewed and get some Christmas goodies made....Oh my goodness - we leave in two days...I'd better get on it! Soooooo excited to see her! :-)

Good Morning! Expecting I'm a Sailor calls from 061/062 this afternoon, after 2pm Central. It is possible that either the 900 division went with them or 063/064, or they could have gone alone. All divisions I mentioned should have phones close!

Thank you, CatMom and FTLW. I'm feeling much better about the driving. The only trip we will need to make to the airport will be to meet up with our son, so I'm hoping we won't be seeing too much traffic.

Alicia,
It's wasn't scary at all for me also! I went on Mapquest and printed out turn by turn directions from O'Hare to my hotel in Waukegan, from my hotel to where I was planning on taking my Sailor to eat, from the hotel to Midway Airport (since that was where she was flying to A school), from Midway to O'Hare (in case I needed to go from one airport to the other if I ran out of time to get back to our hotel room and rest before flying home--but we ended up with plenty of time to return to our hotel), and from our hotel back to O'Hare. No surprises!! My second daughter with me also had her GPS on her cell phone, but it was running low and she didn't have her car charger with her....so bring that if you have one~~
Also, if you check out my "PERTINENT PIR TIPS" up above I give the route from my hotel (Holiday Inn Express) and all the highway numbers to get to the Midway Airport, where to exit and where to park in the long term parking lot -- $14.00 all day vs $5.00 an hour at the airport terminal lot, plus there was a nifty warmed waiting area there to wait for the tram to take you to the terminal.

No worries...didn't come out wrong at all.
You know...I do not travel at all. Driving was the thing I most feared most and you know what?...it turned out to be the most fun and comfortable part. I had teens at the time and was used to the "Drive-and-wait" thing with them.
We had a Chevy Impala - the Cop car in our Families HO. LOL.
Now I landed at O'Hare around noon I think so on the road to Navy Lodge around 2 on a Tuesday...not bad at all and the drive back around the same time was not bad either. It was pretty straight forward . at least I remember it that way.
I did get lost downtown once (Hubby TOLD me not to go there and did I listen? Nooo
. ), but the GPS I rented with the car (they had had a parade that weekend and the GPS did not know that)and a few, "I think that looks clear over there's!" eventually got us out.Drove to Midway at midnight and it was not bad, but seemed long. It does go through the downtown traffic so if you hit that it will be like congestion anywhere. I was headed back to Navy Lodge around 6 AM as son had an early flight.
I think the un-scary factor was that we gave ourselves plenty of time for everything (for once) and that helped a lot...no panicking of being late etc.
