Happy Thanksgiving!

It is that time of year when families get together for Thanksgiving. Many of us have already taken to the road or will be leaving soon.

I do hope all of you will make it to your destination safe and sound. No matter where you are heading, be sure to take your time.

It may not be a bad thing to leave a little earlier than planned. There are lots of obstacles you may encounter which could entice anger and frustration.

None of those are helpful and they most certainly will neither contribute to your health nor enhance the mood of your fellow travelers both in and outside your vehicle.

Since you will not be the only traveler on the road, the headway you might be making could be slow going. You could even end up in a traffic jam in which case you would be thankful you took some travel games along to bide the time.

The weather may not be very cooperative either. Many parts of the country have seen heavy snowfall which, just like rainfall, could slow down your progress.

Moving forward at a snail's pace has it perks; it gives you the opportunity to admire the landscape and you may be treated to some stunning views you would have missed otherwise.

To make a long story short: enjoy your trip and a very Happy Thanksgiving!
