<p>I’d rent the UHaul. With the cost of gas, I wouldn’t come back 2.5 hours and then go out that same 2.5 hours plus another 2.5. Then with the additional 5 hours back, I personally would still need a hotel room for the second school, so coming home and going back wouldn’t save me any money anyway. Ten hours driving, plus unloading would be a bit much. </p>
<p>So here would be my plan: Drive 2.5 hours to School 1, unload, say goodbye to Son 1, drive 2.5 hours to School 2 and stay over somewhere. Next day, unload, say goodbye to Son 2, drive the 5 hours home.</p>
