I booked Residence Inn as well. Also looking at Candlewood Suites, does anyone know anything about that place? It is a little farther up the road, but not that much.

Letter??????

Well, yes. Kind of. A little disturbed, but whatever, he's fine. He hasn't lived with me for about 2 years, maybe he forgot my zipcode. :/ But, his father got the letter, which is cool. but apparently his step mother, who he never got along with, got it 3 days ago when his dad was at work. She never told anyone till yesterday and he told her that I had been waiting for the info, so she emailed it over this morning. whatever.....
Anyway, his PIR is also 4/15 as I expected.... so I will see you all there. :o)

I was checking some of the hotels last week and the discount for Navy grads was a little better than AAA. By about $5-10

At some hotels, especially in Waukegan, if you tell the hotel you're booking for a Navy Grad you'll get a special rate. I think our room at the Comfort Inn in Waukegan was only 65 or 70 a night. We have AAA but I've noticed a lot of hotels don't have very good discounts for it.. Sometimes the price they charge is even a little higher.
