I have to plan ahead.
The air fair is so expensive, and there are extra charge for luggages.
I’m thinking about bring everything she will need in college, especially the winter jackets and boots.
At least 4 luggages, I think.
We are looking at Amtrak website, thinking about the possibility take train from TX to Chicago then rent a car to her college. It’s a 20 hours train. Is it safe for mother and daughter? And return trip, just me.
Or, we should fly and send the luggage by UPS or maybe USPS?
Any comments? Thanks.
