Planning two trips to Illinois

I just got off the phone with my sister. We have decided to take two trips to Illinois to go through and make some decisions about some of Dad's possessions. The first trip we will pack the things that Dad wanted us to have and make some decisions about pieces of furniture, bric-a-brac, glassware, dishware. The second trip, we'll rent a van to move the heavier furniture back to the Kansas City area.
