    I am not only a Navy mom but also a qualified travel agent. My son graduates on 03-11-2011. I have found some really good rates through my own resources. I can get a complete package airfare, hotel and car rental for under $950.00 for 2 travelers that from here in Minneapolis so yours might be more or less. Please contact me and I will check to see what deals I can work up for you as well.

      I don't have a specific recommendation of an airline but I do recommend flying into Milwaukee instead of the Chicago airports.  It is only about 10 miles farther than O'Hare and there is not much traffic.  I wouldn't be surprised if it takes less time to travel to Great Lakes from there.  Also, airport is super easy to get in and out and rental car was a breeze.

        Okay guys I know its been said but now I can say from experience FLY SOUTHWEST if you can. A few years ago I went to New York and got sick Continental wanted $300 for me to change flights ( $100 of which was a fee for the "inconvience" of them having to change my flight) well a few weeks ago I went ahead and booked my flight, hotel and everything like I was going to be there all weekend only to find out he's a GRAD N GO!! Well needless to say I was SUPER bummed and decided I'd rather come home once he's gone then stay for 2 days without him there. So I called up Southwest and they said they could change my flight FOR FREE!! Best part?? They honored the price I paid for a Monday mid-day flight so I can fly out Saturday night after he's gone... I ♥ them.. they are just too awesome!!
