Just a little info for PIR
So I just got back from my daughters PIR 1/11/13 and yes it was awesome!! I just thought if anyone is planning on renting a car..airportrentals.com worked out great for me..it cost me $23.96 for three days and it was a nice car it came through advantage..they shuttle you to the car and then when you drop it off they shuttle you to the airport. We stayed at Americas best it is about 4 miles from the navy base and about 5 to sarges meet and greet, the hotel was clean and nice, they do offer a shuttle if you want/need it to the PIR and the price was good and the people were really nice, it wasnt the Hilton but it was friendly clean close to everything .Just thought I would pass it on.
