Going to college cross-country

<p>My daughter flew by herself (we would have gone but couldn’t) to college and over the last 3 1/2 years has alternated driving and flying home for breaks. For Spring break she flew home and drove back. She’s @16 hours away. Her college actually has storage areas for students but I’ve never heard of another college with that set-up. </p>

<p>When she comes home after graduation this Spring our family of four will fly out with each of us carrying a large empty suitcase besides our regular one bag each. The plan is to fill our suitcases with her bulky stuff. Everything else will have to fit in her car or be given away. She’s going to drive back a week later. Apparently, the give away is an annual senior event.</p>

<p>I’m not sure what we’ll do with my son’s stuff this Spring. We talked about the possibility of him and a friend or two renting a storage place nearby. He can probably fit it all in his car but I don’t know where we would put it here.</p>
