Just key in PIR 07-19-13 TG36 on FB's search. That's all I did and found it. Got a wonderful letter today and it sounds as if 266 is doing great at this stuff. Keep your fingers crossed, they are carrying some gaudy numbers into this week's testing!

Hello everyone - Happy Saturday!
I need some help - my other daughter and I are flying in on Wednesday the 17th (actually it will be Thursday early AM) at 1:10am. I was hoping not to have to rent a car until Thursday afternoon since the only thing we have to do on Thursday is the M&G at 5:30 - I'm going to guess the earlier part of the day we will need to rest! LOL But I'm just going to throw this out there in the hopes someone maybe can help: will anyone be flying in around that time? We are coming into the Midway airport and are staying at the Navy Lodge - which is about 100 miles away! Sadly, money is tight so I was just wondering if anyone would be in the area and maybe we could catch a ride to the hotel? it's crazy hours so I would only ask if someone were coming into the same airport at the same time. I was thinking I could get us a car in Great Lakes on Thursday so that would save a days worth of rental fees.
There it is - I put out there...ya never know! :o)
Hope you all hear from your SRs and have a beautiful day!!

SamisMom Ship 09 Div 265 :o) - How did you find that? Is that a special promo or coupon offer? I've been checking a bunch of car rentals because I'm renting one for the whole trip. I'm driving to Great Lakes, but couldn't take my car. The best I've found is $198 for a week's rental through the AAA (Ohio Motorists Association). That includes the tax, but, not any additional amenities.

Hi momMovesRyan!
I just called them and asked what they had at the Midway airport for 4 days. My AAA got me a discount.
Your $198 isn't too bad. I was seeing $350 when I was looking places up on the Internet.
Maybe give Thrufty a call and see if they have an office near you. -
