While my D is a yer away from leaving for college, she is looking only on the other side of the country for schools, except for her in-state safeties. H is a white-knuckle flier and is already stressing about flying over mountain ranges and being on a plane for a flight lasting many hours to get her to her college. D has a great idea-we should DRIVE, so 1) her dad won't stress and 2) she can bring more stuff. Especially clothes.
I love traveling and have driven cross-country many times, twice alone, but I'm not sure we'd survive that long of a drive together. My older D flew, brought the basics on the plane and we either shipped a few things to her or she pick them up there in her college town. That seems more efficient to me. But just maybe it would be fun with all of us driving, then H and I flying back? We could do some sightseeing and make a vacation out of it.
I looked at old threads and I found a few about the KIDS driving alone, but not entire families. Has anyone done this and had it work out well? We obviously have a long time to figure it out, but I don't want D and H to get set on this plan just yet, and they're headed that way.
