YES! We'll be in Donna. We live in Illinois, but are buying my parents' place in Donna--their winter retreat. They've gone to the Valley for over 30 years, and now it's our turn, I guess. I've been told by a Texas Navy mom that I can call myself a part-time Texan and not a snowbird! I had planned on being there around the 18th, but plans have changed. My dad fell and broke his hip (in Iowa). He and my mom were going to ride down with me, my husband was going to fly into McAllen a few days later. Now he and I will go to Houston to visit my brother and pick up our sailor who will fly in to visit. Then the three of us are driving to Tucson for Thanksgiving and finally to Donna. It gets complicated! We'll be in Donna till mid-December, fly home for Christmas, then come back to Texas Jan. 1. My hubby has to fly back and forth every three weeks to work at the Arsenal here, but I'll be there probably till April.

I'd love to meet sometime when I get there if you have time.

I'm in Corpus Christi, just up the coast from the Valley and on your way down. My son PIR's on 11.13.09 God Willing. Would love to meet an N4M anytime! Especially one who's already been there and done that!

Tracy, your son's PIR is tomorrow! How exciting! Are you going to be there? This time I won't be going past Corpus; my son and I are driving from Houston to Tucson for Thanksgiving after visiting my brother in Houston. Then my husband who is flying to Tucson will drive back with me to Donna. He has to come home to work every three weeks, so when he's gone, I might just make a road trip!

I'm going to move to Corpus next month... Let us know how the PIR went. I'm sure you are so proud of your son. My son's PIR is next month...
