Years ago, I got in the habit of traveling ON THANKSGIVING DAY. Much less traveling, more seats on the planes, less time at the airport. Worst case is we get our turkey on Saturday.

Same for me. I was living in Houston and family lived in Seattle. It was fabulous being on a plane that was half full. never missed a turkey dinner.
On the Sunday after Thanksgiving 2010, I hugged my wife and kids and left home I. Detroit area headed for a new job in Baltimore. (Jenny Granholm was Governess and destroyed Michigan)
A buddy from home was stationed at the Pentagon and rode with me. What should have been a 9 hour drive took over 15 hours.
I was rethinking my decision (tempered by my unemployed status and the severity of the Depression in Michigan) Them I realized it’s Thanksgiving.
We’re in Western Michigan now. Probably going to head east midday Sunday.
My niece is flying tomorrow. Lands at 10, The Feast is at one - she has a two hour drive. Tight schedule, so I hope her flight isn’t cancelled, nobody on board (pilot, copilot, etc) has a ‘medical emergency’, no diversity hire air traffic controller screws up, & her flight lands safely & on time.
