Flight #459 to Peoria is now boarding............

Yes, it is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Every airport is jammed with passengers and major interstates are clogged with travelers. Today is historically the busiest travel day of the year. People on business trips are heading home to be with family, people are traveling to hometowns, and some are just trying to get out of town for the long weekend.
I will be staying put for the weekend, maybe the fact that I have to work on Friday, and leave on my cruise Monday have something to do with it. Since I moved away from my family when I was in my mid 20's I always had to travel in the past. Living in Atlanta, one year it took me 2 hours to go approximately 10 miles on my trip to Charlotte. Of course my parents were always, why not leave earlier? But having been retired for several years I guess they forgot if you don't work you don't get paid.
A few of my coworkers will be leaving today to head home, my boss left yesterday for her in laws, and one will be driving tomorrow morning. That's one way of not having to do any cooking, cleaning, or setting up. Hmmmmm, not a bad idea.
There are several events going on in the area this weekend. There is a big softball tournament that will attract teams from across the country. So there has be an influx of several hundred people, both the teams, and their fan base. It wouldn't be right to let the team go without supporters, and besides, Detroit is a bit chilly this time of year. And Ft Lauderdale is mid 70s and sunny.
So if you need to get away to support your local softball team, visit family, or just get away, try Future Vacations, Damron Vacations, and Discovery Future Vacations. Great deals for hundreds of destinations and budgets. There are some FANTASTIC deals on cruise now, especially if you live near a cruise port. Prices as low as $99 per person for a three night Bahamas cruise.
And once you have all you plans made, keep track with 2go.travel. A wonderful system of keeping track from you mobile device.
