info from for us from Lala: Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons1 hour ago
I would say that those going to Pensacola will most likely leave on Saturday.. they oly stay in great Lakes longer...if there are no flights available. So if you can plan to stay until Sunday just in case that would be good. But plan to meet up at the airport for some extra time with your Sailor. It could be a couple hours it could be several.
