What I'm thankful for
First, I read this story that flights across the country are being delayed because of bad weather as we head into the biggest travel week of the year.
Then, I looked at the gas pump this morning and cringed. I cringed again when I read that a AAA survey found that people will be driving to their Thanksgiving gatherings anyway.
I'm thinking, what else can they do -- walk? Many folks, those of us in York County included, live in parts of the country without stellar public transportation systems or need to travel beyond the area such systems serve.
Anyway, back to the being thankful part.
On Thursday, I will travel five minutes through town to get my turkey fix and fulfill my familial duties. The rest of the day, I will be free to nap and read and thumb through sales fliers and just enjoy just being in my apartment for a change rather than driving all over a three-county area, as I do most days.
For this, I am thankful.
Where are you headed for the holidays? How will you get there? What's your biggest Thanksgiving travel concern?

I will be in Lancaster, not too far, but far enough to hit the purse. Plus, I attend a few meals that day. One year (for a summer picnic) I ran the three miles from my mom's house to my grandfather's house, ate and ran the three miles back. I almost threw up my hamburger, but I guess it saved some gas.
