Sharon, Yep, you are exactly right. Some ladies get nervous about going to the airport to meet their sailors because the sailors have been told that no one can meet them there. But as you found out, that isn't true. So glad you had such a wonderful day!
I met mine at the airport also. I didn't ask him--I just told him that we would meet him at the airport Saturday morning and he didn't say anything about us not being able to. We didn't leave the airport because I thought I was doing good just to get to O'Hare from the hotel without getting lost and didn't want to chance it. We were able to get gate passes to see him off at the gate, but I didn't realize that you got those when they checked their bags....I thought you got those from security or when you were about to go through the gate, so we had to go back through the line to get the gate passes, but had plenty of time to do that.
Hi all!! I am with Sharon and Jana we met our son at the airport and was able to go through security with him to sit at the gate until he left. The unfortunate thing for us was that his flight left at 7 am so we only got a couple of hours with him - which was better than nothing!! The other unfortunate thing for us was trying to pay the toll when we got to the airport exit - it acted like we didn't put any money in and we got flashed!! Still haven't seen anything in the mail yet but we'll figure that out later.
It's so hard to believe that time has gone by so quickly since PIR but I really enjoy the phone calls and texts whenever we want!!!
