More on going off to college

Dear Parents,

So the big day arrives, and we load everything she owns into the car and start the two day drive.
My biggest and best advice after this experience?  Bring a hand truck.  Not sure why this didn't occur to us before, but it didn't.  You can tell the experienced parents from the rest of us. Some of them actually had these big flat bed carts that you see at home depot.  

So we are thinking that we get to park right outside the building for 40 minutes to offload stuff, and then you have to move the car.  Sounds like a great plan.  What they didn't mention is there are only about 20 spots in front of the building, and about 200 cars are pulling up at the same time.  Everyone else has to park in the lot across the street and lug everything - thus  the importance of the hand truck.  

You can tell the experienced parents from the rest of us. Some of them actually had these big flat bed carts that you see at Home Depot.   Experience is a beautiful thing.

To Your Family,
