wondering how many of our folks will be traveling for Thanksgiving ???

we will and with Thanksgiving only a few days away, we are finalizing our plans .... we will be traveling from our home in south central NC to Asheville in the mountains of western NC .... for the last few years my wife and I have been joined by our daughter and her son in traveling to my youngest sister's home where our family gathers for the holiday .... this year we will be joined by two babies who our daughter is fostering until they can be reunited with their mother .... our issue is we don't have a 6 passenger vehicle so we are going to have travel in 2 .... our daughter will be driving our Blazer along with my wife and the 1 & 2 year old .... my passenger in our new truck will be our 8 year old grandson .... about the only thing I'm sure of is they will get much better mileage than we will ... we plan to travel west on Wednesday and to return home the following Friday

I’m driving three miles to a neighbor.

WOW .... that would really be nice, ours is just under 300 and of course, the same all the way back

We had a Friendsgiving here at the RV park tonight and we have also been invited to the Thanksgiving that the park manager is having for family. So we will walk about 50 yards to ours. The one today was very nice.

This will be a small one unfortunately. Only the youngest daughter and her family, but Carol loves to cook so I'm sure it will be a complete feast.

Sounds like a great place to enjoy Thanksgiving JEBar and Stay Safe! We are just going 10 miles to my Son's place. I 95 runs thru our city and it is a field of trouble always!

We will be on the road Thursday morning. Traffic is usually light for the 330 mile trip to Virginia Beach. My wife’s sister hosts the mob at her house. Usually a turn out of thirty or so. We will return Home on Sunday, traffic usually sucks then. Turns a 5 1/2 hour drive into 6 1/2 to 7..

well, as always, our absolute and final plans are subject to change at any second .... late yesterday afternoon Maureen had her first ever attack of Vertigo .... bottom line, we've had to cancel our Thanksgiving trip had to be cancelled

I can hardly contain myself in anticipation of tomorrow. Tomorrow we will have the traditional South Carolina Thanksgiving meal of baked possum stuffed with sweet taters. I would invite all of you to join us but it's a small possum.

Not being from the south I wasn't sure about your post until I googled "possum and sweet potatoes". Having a Scandinavian family on my mother's side this is the time of year we would have been having lefse and lutefisk, liked the lefsa, didn't care for the lutefisk but my uncles loved it.
