[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to all PPs (except for the snarky 8:49 one.) Kid is a boy and not at all into stuff. He won't overpack and won't care too much about almost anything. Still even basics add up especially with everyone but me 6ft or taller. And for safety reasons my husband doesn't want to fill up the back so much that it blocks the view for such a long drive. Many good suggestions here that we'll investigate, such as a soft-top carrier or the possibility of having some contingent fly to free up a bit of space on the way up. That might be the winner! But for purposes of debate, does a minivan really offer more cargo space?? We've never had one, so I can't compare. And I believe the general outside size of an Odyssey isn't much different from a Pilot... so just look for any other thoughts on that. Thanks all! And no chance of leaving one parent at home with sibling. This is our first kid to launch and it's already very emotional for us (not for the kid of course!)[/quote] I'm the PP who suggested having one parent drive and other parent fly with sibling. It really is the best way to go. My son also wasn't into a lot of stuff, but 4 people plus luggage already fills the car! Two people plus their luggage frees up a log of space for the supplies, etc. Good luck to your son.[/quote]
