Responding here because of the three post rule.
So I flew 2500 miles yesterday so I can ride with my son for three hours back to his college - he is taking his car for the first time and the drive can be a little dicey.
After we get there, we are taking a tour of a house he and his buddies are considering for next year, then meeting with a guy to rent a parking spot for the semester. Then we will grab dinner and he will drop me at the bus station so I can catch one bus for an hour, then another for three hours, walk a mile and catch a train for an hour before catching an Uber back to the house my estranged wife and I own.
Really, it’s to have three hours of one on one time with my boy.
Then Thursday it’s another 2500 mile flight home.
Worth it.
