<p>soccerguy315 - thanks for posting this - helps calm the anxiety in my head, a bit. We leave in the morning for the 12 hour trek to WM! Can’t believe the time is here (and I can’t believe we will be in a car for 12 hours!!!). As much as he wants to go, it is very tough for my son to say goodbye to his friends right now, especially as he is the first of his crowd to leave for college.</p>
