@Tricsious...we are staying at the Residence Inn. I booked there because we wanted a big room with lots of space since I have a teenage daughter and a teenage son coming with us. The Ramada already was booked for these types of rooms. We got a huge room with two bedrooms and a kitchen for a very reasonable price! Now reasonable to me may not be reasonable to others. I do live in California and the price of this huge suite in Lake Forest is around what we would pay for ONE bed in a tiny room here. They do have a full breakfast included every morning which will come in handy with my 15 year old boy...that kid can eat! It's about an 8 mile drive to the base from the Residence Inn to the base. I too would like to come to the meet and greet at the Ramada but we may have to drive directly from the airport because our flight gets in around 445 that afternoon.  We will see how excited we are. I have a feeling we will make it :) Maybe someone can tell me is it the Ramada in Waukegan?? Just making sure. Anyways good luck with your plans....see you on 5/20 only 36 days 22 hours and 53 minutes to go!!!!!

Scout beach, it's at the Ramada Inn. Thursday,May 19th, 6:00pm-8:00pm.

They serve free hors d'oeuvres, and you can buy drinks..If you are staying at the hotel you get 2 free drinks.It sounds like they do a great job of welcoming everyone there for grad day. I am staying there, I hope it's nice..

I hope this info helps you..

 

Waiting for the mail man..waiting for a call. I am getting tired of just chasing the phone around every time it rings. My family uses it and then lays it were they were talking. So, I'm chasing it around the house..And then the batteries are dead..I guess I'm just getting worried

Anyhoo,Ya'll have a great day!!!! Will be seeing all of you soon!!! 36 days..

woo-hoo!

Triscious:  The Residence Inn is really not that far away.  And it is in a nicer area.  I vote for Residence!  :-)

My dtr is 174 and I got one last week.  She wrote on 4/3 so I am hoping to get another one tomorrow from 4/10.  Could be wrong, but fingers crossed!  Mail system is diff everywhere, so maybe you are on the snailmail system.  Lol

Do you all realize we are up to 58 members?  Isn't that wonderful!  Very exciting to know our SR's will be graduating together. 

I have yet to book my hotel.  I am stuck between Ramada for convenience or the Residence Inn.  My big question is whether Ramada has a breakfast.  A meal a day can make a big difference!  Is the Ramada really much worse than Residence?  We are driving in from Buffalo on 5/19 and want to go to MNaG.  I am worried about the extra time to check in and get back to Ramada.  I am not sure how far away each place is from oneanother.  Probably overthinking it, but after  8-9 weeks of talking to you all, I really don't want to miss my 1 opportunity to actually meet you in person!  I want to take in the whole experience of PIR and you all are a big part of it.  Everyone else seems to think I am an emotional wreck.  Here, I find comfort without feeling crazy.  Lol  TY for that!

ccross- My dtr it in div 174 and her first letter indicated that day 1-3 was on Apr 4.  She was excited for it.  So that would put them in week 3 day 1 today.  I believe each div is very close to the same or nearby.  Maybe a day off.  She arrived on 3/22.  She also said she could call at the end of week 3 and will have tues and thur afternoon off AFTER week 3 also.  So maybe next week we can hear from them.  I am not going to count on it, but sure would be nice!  Hope this helps.

 

 Amandarenee~My heart goes out to you and your SR.  My dtr hurt her knee and I have been so worried about something like this happenng.  She's been lucky so far, but I was worrying about this exact thing.  I don't think there is anything I can say to make it better for the both of you, but please know that you are in our prayers and wish all the best for you.  Keep telling yoursellf "This too shall pass" and someday, regardless of what happens, you will look back and this will all be a memory.  Hopefully he will be in the Navy at that time or someplace great.  You could be a Navywife by the time he comes back- LOL

Think of it that way~JK  Just want you to know you are supported!  HUGS

Amanda, I am so sorry and I am sure your head is spinning right now. I know right now it seems terrible. But sometimes these things happen for a reason and there must be something big planned for him. Just try to be as encouraging as you can be and hold your head high, this too shall pass. I will keep you both and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
