Happy Thanksgiving!
42.2 Million folks will be taking to the roads, skies, or tracks this week to get home to Mom’s home cooking. It’s a sure sign that the holidays have started.
You never know what the weather will be like on any Thanksgiving weekend. In 2004, we got caught in a freak blizzard on our way to Michigan and had to stop and stay at a hotel. It was an exciting trip for my 3 young kids, but to me and their mother it was nerve wracking.
We always plan with an emergency pack in our vehicle prior to traveling. Before you get on the road you should do the same as well.
Plan to have:
- Water
- Blankets
- Extra food & snacks
- TP!
- Flashlights
- Batteries
- A way to charge your cell phone if needed.
Other then that, take it easy, give yourself plenty of time to travel and eat plenty of Turkey.!!
Enjoy the week!
Happy Thanksgiving from us at Corpsman.com to you.
