<p>D left for Columbia this morning with her brother who is heading to Chapel Hill for his senior year. She has to move into the sorority house on Saturday because their rush pre-activities begin in earnest on Monday. They are planning on doing the drive in one day....I'm not very excited about that but we'll see.....</p>

<p>EAmom and I are heading out tomorrow with her (D's) car ....fully loaded (there would not have been room for her with all her stuff) and plan to arrive in Columbia Friday afternoon. We had planned to spend a few days there then head to Chapel Hill for a few days but my dad is having major surgery in Cleveland next week so we're going to head to CLE on Sunday afternoon instead.</p>

<p>I'll probably be fairly scarce on the boards next week so if you have any specific questions, PM me and I can access through my email.</p>

<p>My best wishes to all new students and parents, drive or travel safely and enjoy your time in Columbia.</p>

<p>boy,its hot there this week.be prepared for 100+ when moving her stuff.Didnt realize the sorority stuff began so early.
Hope it cools off by the end of next week when we leave.We're planning on a one day drive too,S has done it twice already and claims 11-12 hrs from NY-Cola.
Hope your Dads surgery goes ok.Someday we'll have to figure out who our kids are as they have the same major and started at the same time.</p>

<p>Have a safe drive! Cathymee is right about the temp. It's been over 100 all week, heat index running between 107 and 110 in Columbia. Have some chilled water bottles handy!</p>
