i can only dream! What's the address for the holiday inn? or do you send it to the training center?

[mcmuffinpilot]

Holiday Inn HOUSTON Hotels | HOUSTON-INTERCONTINENTAL ARPT | Welcome

Holiday Inn
15222 John F. Kennedy Blvd
Houston,TX 77032

do i just put it to

John
rm XXX
and then the rest of the address?

or do i not need the room #? and he picks it up at the front desk? I've never stayed in a hotel for an extended period of time where i had to figure this stuff out!

I'm sending my first pacakge out today, I'm putting:
Holiday Inn
His name / room #
then address

hoping its gets there...there's stuff in there, I wouldn't want a postman to find ...just kidding

i went to walmart today and got him presents. a box of fruit snacks, a couple boxes of the nature valley granola bars, hershey hugs and kisses, some SPF 50 sunscreen (since he burns so quickly), a couple of DVD's, squirt guns and water balloons since it's going to be so freakin' hot in houston. maybe then some of those pilots can get out their aggression

I'm not going to send the package though until next weekend since he doesn't start until the 2nd.

you'll have to let me know how yours gets there - or if it needs to be addressed differently

You could always just call the hotel and ask how to address the box. I believe there is a restaurant called Good Eats connected to the hotel or next door and there is also a gas station down the street that I think has some sort of a sub shop in it.

Rental cars are cheap in IAH. He could have a couple of guys get together and rent one for the day so they could go out and get all the stuff they need or can fit in their fridge. He is lucky he got a fridge. If there isnt one in every room, most hotels have a limited amount of them and he could have ended up on the waiting list for one.

I sent care packages and mail addressed as:
Aaron
Room 222
Airport Inn
123 Street
Houston, TX

He received all but 1 postcard, which I think came while he was home for a 3 day stretch. I would tell the guys to expect the package so that they can ask for it at the front desk. They are more likely to get it that way.
