To B'sNukemon&dad  and anyone else flying in to NY.  Your best bet for airports is Albany.   Rates are probably cheaper at Newark but it is 2.5 hours from newark to Albany without traffic.  If you time it wrong going into Newark you could be in the morning or afternoon rush hours which is a NIGHTMARE. Also this is the east so there's the tolls to pay.  The second best option is Stewart INt. airport in Newburgh,  90 miles south of Albany,  right on I87,  NO traffic whatsoever.  Usually difficult to find a flight cheaper than Newark or Albany but sometimes you can find good deals.  But you can step off your plane,  get your bags and be on I87 in 10 mins.  Hope this helps  anyone.  My son is in proto in SC  so we still drive down when we can.  15.5 hrs.  Tried to get him to come to BS( 2hrs.)  but he likes the warm weather.  Good luck.

Looks like we're probably going to visit sailor Easter weekend instead of in June....flights are much more reasonable! Looking forward to it!

Amanda starts nights tonight also. As far as staying somewhere, I don't know what's up there. I know in town is a Hilton. Took Amanda and her roommates to dinner there when we moved her up. Where were you looking flying into? It might be cheaper to fly into  like Newark and renting a car. The down fall to that is you would still have a 3hr drive.

Brian - my son was off yesterday - starts on mids tonight. Guess he'll be finding out about the delay (again!).  It will be nice when they actually get started (although I keep telling him to enjoy the "down" time).

Looked at flights in June - geez they are expensive!  Any recommendations on where to stay?  He has roommates so we can't stay with him and there's (probably) going to be 4 of us going.

Bob - that's great news for your son!  I hope it works out and he does get staff pick up.

We spoke with our sailor last night - he's in BS waiting for prototype to start.  Says they are still hearing March 17 providing there aren't any more delays.....We are hoping to visit NY near the end of June.  Looking forward to it!

Got a call from our Matt today, he is in Nuke Proto Type Training at Ballston Spa. Said he is doing fantastic, one of the leaders of his class. He wants to try and get picked up as Staff Instructor upon Graduation, his Chiefs have recognized his hard work and dedication and are steering his toward his goal!  So Proud of Him!

To all of you headed to PS graduation this Friday - safe travels!  I hear they are cancelling lots of flights - if you are driving, please be careful!

Headed to my sons graduation from power school this Friday. Does anyone know we're the ceremony is held. A school graduation was in the Rickover but I am sure that is to small.
