    Im from san jose and i took the bus all the way down to camp pendleton. It took me about 8-9 hours to get there.
    It was so worth it! Even though it was terrifying. See his surprised face was all worth it :)

    I don't know if you eventually got to see him, but I really hope you did! I don't think there's anything wrong with driving hours to spend time with a very special person in your life, especially if that person's your marine! :)

    My marine was going off to training the next day so I drove from LA to Twentynine Palms after a 9 hours work day, spent 7 hours with him, left at 4:30 in the morning and got back to work by 8:20am. I know it's not a five hour+ one way drive for some of you who replied but the six hours round trip was completely worth it and it would have been totally worth it even if it was to spend an hour with him. This will not be the last time I pull this. I'm just glad I can see him. This won't even be possible once he deploys.

    Nope he didnt get it. Still no call and the days is going away. I was gonna leave at four if he called but four has now passed and no call. Im upset. I was sure they would get it because another marine that graduated last month told me that he would for sure get it but I guess he was wrong.

    Starting to feel like they are not going to get the liberty. I think it would have started by now if they were gonna get it. But it is still early enough for hope.

    My fiance drove 7 hours to come see me for a night for our anniversary. I didn't really have a clue until he showed up. But he stayed one night and left that next afternoon. Now he's on his way to Korea and I won't see him until summer. To answer your question, no you are not crazy :)

    I would do it definitively! Just drive safe please :) did you see Valentine's day where Julia Roberts is a captain in the U.S. Army on a one-day leave? she took a flight and then waited for hours for a taxi, all that to see her son which by the way was sleeping when she got home, she only got that night.

    Do the drive, and on your way listen to "I Drove all night" by Celine Dion, I promise it will set the mood.

    "I drove all night
    Crept in your room
    Woke you from your sleep
    To make love to you"

    woo hooo!!!!

    No your not crazy, go for it.
    I would do it. I'm pretty sure many of us would. It's understandable & it's not like your going to attend his graduation right? ;)

      Yes he would go for me, I am pretty sure. I just packed my bag so that I can take it to work and be ready in case he calls and tells me the good news. Thank you.
