Wishing You Safe and Sane Thanksgiving Travels
Thanksgiving is one of the best holidays of the year and a great opportunity to spend time with family and close friends. Between the football games, the parade, the food, and the great company, this special day presents a wonderful opportunity to focus on what we are most grateful for in our lives. Unfortunately, even though we’re supposed to count our blessings on this day, those of us facing Thanksgiving travel may be counting our burdens. As of today, the AAA estimates that 43.6 million people will be traveling at least 50 miles before, on, or after November 22nd. 
This marks the fourth consecutive year of increased travel during the Thanksgiving holiday. So, while we get to take advantage of the long holiday weekend by visiting friends and family around the world, we also face nightmarish traffic, delayed flight schedules, overcrowded airports, and the occasional lost bag of luggage. Let’s face it – we can’t control what happens during travel over the holidays! We have to embrace what comes our way and hope we arrive in time to enjoy the turkey and trimmings with those we love. However, we CAN control our level of preparedness, especially if traveling internationally.
