I wonder why his father would fly out to drive cross country with him? Why NOT pay to fly out your son for a Christmas break, wouldn't that be cheaper, faster, and safer? Avoid winter storms?
I find that odd as well. I assumed that he had driven himself home to PA … he’s a 28 year adult male. I mean, a lot of people do prefer a companion for long road trips to share the driving, etc. But I would agree that flying your adult son home for a break seems a lot more logical than flying yourself one way and then driving 2,000 miles back home. I mean, what was the plan for the return trip for next semester? IDK. Maybe his parents were worried about him making a solo drive in the winter and volunteered to fly and drive?
Accompanying your adult child on a cross country move to/from college/grad school at the beginning or end of their program (or school year) seems like a normal and helpful thing for a parent. But for a holiday break? Seems unusual.
