Did you travel over Thanksgiving?

[monsoon]

So how did you spend Thanksgiving for those of you in the USA or ex pats that celebrate the holiday.

I drove to visit my family in the Grand Rapids area.

I did not participate in the black Friday shopping frenzy either. It's not worth standing in massive lines and crowds of people to save a few bucks.

I stayed home myself, however, my family always hosts my extended family's Thanksgiving party because we have the only house big enough to accommodate everyone else.

I did, however, go to Atlanta on Friday to see the Radio City Rockettes. We didn't o any shopping though (we enjoy that phenomenon called "last minute shopping", apparently)

Yep, Albany to Providence. And let me just say that it was the worst ride ever both ways. When I came home it was snowing heavily in the mountains of western Massachusetts. And driving back to Albany today there was insane traffic. I hate driving.

I did no shopping whatsoever and don't plan on doing any until Christmas Eve when most of the crowds have died down.

Went home which is 40 min away. Did not participate in the madness as I shop online.

I went about 150 miles to my aunt's home in Lafayette,LA. Around 15 other family members were there.

I didnt participate in the shopping madness on Friday, as I will be taking advantage of the 3 tax-free shopping days Louisiana is offereing in December.

I drove home from college on Tuesday around noon, took about 4 1/2 hrs. I did not go shopping because I do not have any $. Saturday afternoon, I went up to Western Mass (northampton) with my partents to see my older brother. Today, I drove from home back to school, leaving right before ten, completing the trip in just under 4 hours (for 258 miles). There was a little bit of traffic on Tuesday toward in the last 5 miles of the trip, today there was very little so i was able to go about 20 over the limit for a good portion of the trip (75 in a 55 zone, 78/80 in a 65)..no stress what-so-ever

I was supposed to travel this year, but didn't. And while I didn't buy anything, my friends and I still hit up the mall on Friday!

[monsoon]

We drove from Charlotte to Myrtle Beach to stay with family over the holidays. (185 miles) I was quite flabberghasted to discover that several hundred thousand other people had decided to do the same thing. Myrtle Beach used to be dead after Labor Day but not it is as busy during Thanksgiving as during the summer. It has become a shopping destination as well.

Nice though. Temps were 75 on Thanksgiving.

This is the first year in about 20 I did'nt go anywhere for Thanksgiving. Ended up working the entire weekend. UGH

[thedude26]

Went up to Chattanooga to see the relatives.

[Cotuit]

I walked across town and had dinner at a restaurant. Ate far too much and crawled home with my full belly.

[DigitalSky]

yeah went home for the break.. traffic wasn't bad getting home but it was horrendous coming back here... I-85 is TERRIBLE between Concord and Lexington.

[ZachariahDaMan]

Normally I go to my grandparents' house near Flint for Thanksgiving but I had to work so they came down to our house in meto Detroit.

[Michi]

Yep, I drove through the snow to my hometown for Thanksgiving.

I did not participate in any shopping the day after.
