exiting kp Please talk to your mid regarding how quickly or slowly they want to exit Kings Point. DS and many, many others from last year were anxious to leave after the graduation ceremony. I believe that most had their cars packed and ready to go days before the actual ceremony. If we were...

DP Cert This might be helpful for future mids that get their DP schooling cert. DS also has his DP cert, interviewed with the DP shipping companies at the job fairs, and the two jobs that were given out went to mids who lived in the south. Only can think that the DP companies wanted their...

hotel help There is a list of hotels on the USMMA web site, parents page. DS suggested the Adria (six blocks from LIRR) which he says he drives by all the time so if he is our taxi some it would be convenient for him. Hotels.com has a heck of a deal going on for graduation weekend now...

grateful thanks I very much appreciate the posts. Have a better idea of when to arrive and where to stay. Thank you both so much for the advice. :smile:

b split coming home Spots will be open very soon. DS plus two other KP mids are scheduled back to Baltimore on Oct 29. Imagine there are lots in similar situation. :smile:

kp accommodations Hi, would you mind sharing your response from kp. I also wondered if Melville Hall was open to parents/siblings visiting their mids and is there a fee for staying? Thank you. :smile:

top bag Land's End - had it shipped directly to DS at the Academy.

siblings This is a fantastic opportunity for younger sibs. We did the whole sha-bang as a family. Coming from Colorado, we came early and stayed late. Yes his younger sisters missed a little school but what fun they had. We spent every moment allowed with DS but also played tourist in NYC...
