We made our airbnb reservations immediately after last year’s graduation as hotels in Ithaca use a lottery system to determine who gets in, and then require a minimum stay at a maximum cost. We made reservations at John Thomas steak house on Jan 1; they fill up within hours. We’re all taking extra suitcases back with us (flying southwest) and will pack her stuff up in suitcases to fly home. What we cannot pack will go to the dump 'n run or we’ll mail stuff home if we have to. Since she’s in a furnished apt., we think we’ll fit everything in the suitcases.
