My son got accepted into AIM today and we are totally stoked. I'm super proud of him to be accepted, but now we need to figure out the logistics of it all. We are in California and would like him to be able to fly in a day or two early to get acclimated to the weather and to be able to rest up after the time zone change and the long flight.
Because of the costs and stuff, we are thinking about him flying alone to Boston and then taking Amtrak to New London. Because of the flights, it would be nice for him to spend the night in Boston and then a night or two in New London before going to AIM on Sunday. The problem is that most hotels have either a 19 or 21 year old age restriction. He is 17 and so he is below either of those ages.
I'm sure we can't be alone on this. What do other people do? How can he spend some nights in a hotel or similar since he isn't old enough for most policies?
Our son is smart enough to figure flights and all of that good stuff and he'd have no problem checking into a hotel and getting rides and stuff, but we just don't know how to make it all work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brandon
