@Californiamom - I sent my sailor a box by FedEx. It was supposed to deliver on Saturday but the mail is closed on weekends so he got it on Monday of this week. I was able to give him the tracking no. and let him know when it would deliver. Everything arrived perfectly - hope that helps.

Heather, on the River Walk there are plenty of places to eat. You can also make reservations to eat a meal on the river walk boat tour. SA has a Hard Rock, Paesano's (Italian Food), The Original (mexican food), Dicks (chicken/burgers), Bella (Mediterranean). Here is a link to some of the River Walk attractions: http://riverwalkguide.com/restaurants-on-the-riverwalk/
Hotels on the River Walk are also listed on that site under lodging. If you decide to stay close to the base there is a Red Roof Inn and a Quality Inn by there.
