College! I have been following TBD for... A lot longer than I would have guessed. What even is time??

I’ve been saying for years that time is fake & yet time itself refuses to acknowledge this truth & act accordingly! It’s very rude. This fall marks ten (10!!!) years of TBD, if you can believe it

Well written. Puts you right in the moment. Perhaps music along with your reading list?

Landslide - Fleetwood Mac

Blackbird - Beatles

Miracle - Foo Fighters

Feel free to add…

So exciting. We also had a weird moment of "Hey, we can maybe buy "grown-up" luggage . Can't help thinking of the first time I met you, you had teeny tiny Seb in the carrier in San Antonio :-)

I know it’s not the point BUT we’ve always packed our kids stuff in bags (IKEA has discontinued theirs for some reason, but you can get dupes on Amazon). If you’re driving, they are easy to stack and fit in a car. If you are flying, double bag and use a TSA lock to secure. Easy to fold and store under the bed. Done!

Oh wow! Best wishes for the whole fam on this next chapter!

I have to know about the luggage. What did you pick? What does everyone here love? I am also on the hunt, and I’ve overwhelmed myself with options 😅

I was getting overwhelmed with options and with the cost. I rely on Wirecutter for lots of recommendations, but their top pick in this category was way outside our budget. Thanks to an enthusiastic endorsement from friends who are very frequent flyers, I landed on Eagle Creek. I didn't fully grasp the variations across their product lines until items from their Expanse and Tarmac lines started arriving at my house, but it's all very sturdy and smooth-rolling. I got pricing in the 25% - 40% off range on each of them, and one was new with tags: https://www.eaglecreek.com/collections/luggage
