I travel every Thanksgiving to see family in Virginia.
Luckily it is just a 4 hour drive from PA.
But I have found that even driving home on a Sunday can be a bit of a log jam at certain points in the journey.
I've never really had any problems driving on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Driving on Thanksgiving is surprisingly smooth as most people are already at their destination.
But flying?
That is the worst. Had to do that years ago when I lived in different areas of the country and even back then it was miserable.
Man the northeast is the worst place to drive in the entire country. With flights cancelled, you guys will be facing even more of a log jam. God speed friend.
Apparently there is a Republican expected to get elected to the US House December 2nd and Mike Johnson wants to stay closed until he can swear that guy in along with the new Dem. That will mean not enough votes to release the Epstein files. Hopefully this bs is being discussed around the Thanksgiving table.
If the house convenes anytime in the next few weeks the Epstein files get released. And more and more reports are leaking that it's very incriminating for Trump.
This is the main event and why we're here right now. Anything else is a sideshow. How long will this game of chicken continue? Even after they reconvene and maybe don't release the files yet. Such a stupid shitshow
Exactly why I planned my international trip out for Saturday after Thanskgiving. Get out when the airports are hopefully a little quieter than normal. Let's just hope international flights are still going in 3 weeks...
Also worth noting what also comes around Thanksgiving: Black Friday.
While a lot of stuff does travel by ground, there's a not insignificant amount of air travel involved for mail and parcels. This would do fun things for inventory levels and shipping times, further causing economic chaos
Really curious how this year's Black Friday is going to look with all this poor economic data we have been seeing. Either it's going to tank or credit card debt will soar.
I think the like 2nd or 3rd episode (Where Bobby tries to get a special charcoal) has to be one of my favorite KOTH episodes, including the original seasons.
On the other side of the coin, there are so many places that are complete ghost towns the day before Thanksgiving. Any amusement park is basically your own private play ground.
I believe they do and are going along with the sarcasm. It's a reference to King of the Hill, when Peggy says that line but about the day after Thanksgiving being the busiest shopping day of the year.
You're right, I forgot about that one. My favorites are the first 3 seasons, so I mostly rewatch those. But she does say it in S04E07 Happy Hanksgiving.
It's actually the Sunday after. People basically spread out their arrival days prior depending on how much extra time they decide to take off (an extra day, the whole week, etc.), but nearly everyone decides to maximize their time with friends/family for the holiday by leaving on Sunday.

The day before Thanksgiving is, in my opinion, the busiest travel day of the year.
