It was hidden in my last post....
"Find a hotel close to A school and starting planning a trip"
kinda corny, but I have already been looking at hotels next to where my son goes next! Of course it is Pensacola so that makes it even better!

SailingHi,
Loved the form!! Hope you don't mind I saved it to my computer! I thought of one you may have missed: Find hotel rooms next to A school and start planning at trip! I hope to go visit my son in June, he is going to be in Pensacola... would go in March (for spring break) but I am afraid he won't get as much time with us then!
Josh's Mom, thanks so much for the update! I am glad they are doing better at team work! I hope they sail through with ease! Can't wait to see them in action at PIR!
Smiles to all,
Kathie
ps for those feeling blue... I still have only got one letter from my son... I know he loves me but I am sure he wants to be tough -- they are on their journey to manhood and what would a woman know about that! A friend told me that they don't want them to write their Mommas... he said it is like a horse and the barn, a good look at the barn and they starting running back to it! They want them to be independent and looking the other direction during boot camp... just thought I would share.

Thanks for the update. It is so good to hear all the news and they are starting to work together. I can't imagine my son with the cleanest wash room. Hope we all get letters or calls soon.
