Great idea, ohevetbeni. You won't regret doing that, navygirl. I would not try to do all of the walking in the heels...but you can take them for inside the PIR hall...however, you may be "kicking them off" to run to your sailor at liberty call! :-)

When I went to my son's PIR we dressed for comfort. It is going to be really really hot at GL. I would definitely not wear heals. I would wear nice pants with flat sandals and a pretty top. Something light weight.

As far as what to wear, be comfortable. You will see everything from flashy to too casual, find something that is nice but comfortable. I had a blast watching the people and for some I wondered what they were thinking when they decided to wear what they did, this may mean different things for different people. I wore nice jeans and a nice top, it may be hot and muggy and you want to be as cool as possible.

One thing to remember is that there is no PDA allowed, they are not allowed to hold hands and other rules that you want to make sure and follow. It may seem silly but it is the way it is, respect the rules so that your loved ones do not get into trouble.

what about holding the had of a child? That will be hard to prevent and explain.

I hope someone knows this answer. I have an autistic child that will go nowhere with out his Nintendo DS. Do you think he will be able to take it to the PIR ? If not I need to start talking to him about it now so maybe it will be a non issue.
