Next week is Thanksgiving and that likely means at least three guarantees for you: traveling, eating, and shopping. Though maybe you just group them all under a fourth guarantee: stress.
I always appreciate the holidays; I love spending time with my family members who travel in from out of town, and I enjoy all the delicious food. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t stresses getting to and from my holiday festivities—not to mention the stress that may come during the event.
Thanksgiving is the biggest travel day of the year. AAA is forecasting that 34.6 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles this week via planes, trains, and automobiles to be with their families. About 95 million will travel the same distance between now and New Year’s. That’s a lot of driving on busy streets, waiting in busy airports, or sitting on a crowded train.
