Thanks, Shane. I'm sure it'll be an adventure and we're looking forward to it. Sean has family coming? I'll try to locate him and get you a picture or two.

you guys have a safe trip getting there, looks like lots of snow in the mid-west. When I talked to Sean late yesterday afternoon he said it was really starting to snow.

Yeah, his mother and sister are leaving Yakima Tuesday afternoon and plan on being in Great Lakes Tuesday night. They are planning on staying through Friday night and heading back either late Friday or early Saturday. How long are you planning on staying there? I would appreciate any pictures that you can get.

Safe travels for all attending PIR 30DEC09. Our prayers go out for all those remaining to complete their Battle Stations today and early this week. Good luck to all and hope to see you there. It should stop snowing in GL today and sunny for Tuesday. Can't speak for Wednesday's weather????????

Christopher and Paul,
Good luck to you both as you travel. Extended forecast looks pretty good for now- but I have no faith in those who try to predict weather. We leave from Orlando on Tuesday morning and fly into Milwaukee. Arrive at 11am... We'll make a dry run to the base Tuesday afternoon but right now I'm leaning toward taking the shuttle to the PIR or a taxi. I've read time over and over how long the lines are if you drive. Excited to finally be so close to going!

Mark & Christopher....hope you have a great PIR experience at GL! We sure did on Dec 4. The weather was clear and cold but it was an experience we'll never forget. Now, our son is in MA school in San Antonio and is already thinking of going into special ops specializing in bomb defusing. Have a safe trip and God Bless.

Sean's sister and mother left today about 2 today, the got to the airport and their plane was delayed by two hours due to snow, I guess they got it all worked out, supposed to be in GL around 1 am.
