Hi Terry

 

I have to say it was great to be able to treat the boys to a day off around town and hope you and your wife had a good visit.  I didn't get a chance to say hello but did wave as I chatted with your wife as we waited in line at 'Adopt a Sailor' and hope we all get to meet up at PIR.  If you're bringing more than those that have tickets to PIR and want to stay at a hotel that will be live streaming it in their lobby, the Courtyard Marriott will assuming the live feed from RTC is working as they've occasionally had issues with the feed.

Susie has my cell # and welcome being in touch as well as meeting in person.

Hi Terry

Feel free to reach me directly by email at rickrtp@yahoo.com or cell by text or calling 919-523-7455 to make connecting easier

From the soind of it we are staying at different Marriott's - Residence Inn 1440 South White Oak Drive, http://hotels.hotelguides.com/illinois/waukegan/119396-photos.html vs. Courtyard Marriott 3800 Northpoint Blvd - http://hotelguides.com/hotels/illinois/waukegan/106895.html 

I scouted hotels prior to coming up for Christmas and found the Courtyard had some features I thought our SR might enjoy - indoor heated pool, Starbucks in front and the rates seemed better (special rates for hte Navy PIR and other events as well as very helpful staff  - depending on how many people you have coming, they also had rooms that could accomodate 4-5 people which was what I booked

We'll be getting in mid afternoon on TH the 8th with flight landing around 1pm and driving a rental to the hotel.

I'm finding the thread a little tough to find and welcome you reaching out with my personal info included in this message

Looking forward to meeting up.

Was surprised to not hear from my SR this weekend and just wondered if you did
