not this year. My SOs family lives 20 minutes from us and my mother is coming here to have thanksgiving with us and his family. I'm looking forward to it!
I don't really consider ours traveling, because it's only a little over an hour to get to the town where both his and my parents live. SO glad we don't have to go any further than that!
We are traveling, but we both have to work on Black Friday, so we are traveling that weekend and I am making our first Thanksgiving Dinner together! haha.... But my bridal shower and bachelorette party are the Saturday after Thanksgiving, so we have to go home for that. It's about a 6 hour drive to my parents house. Then my FH is going about 2 hours north to visit his family while I do the girly stuff.... haha... On Sunday my mom and I are going up north to see the church we're getting married at and have lunch with the FH's family before the FH and I drive 4 more hours back to Chicago. Haha.... lots of driving that weekend!
That is a lotta driving otb, yikes! Well be safe and take your time, people are crazy on the roads sometimes! And have a wonderful shower/bachelorette party. Be sure to share the details.
I travelled last year for Thanksgiving, but I flew to Cali so it was pretty sweet. This year we're doing Christmas at my folks' house the weekend of Dec 18, and they live 5 hours away. I don't dread the travelling as long as I'm not driving alone.
We travel upstate to my/our parents' houses.
@jenniferespos: Take Amtrak! Or Megabus! Driving upstate is SUCH a hassle. We only do it once a year for Christmas because we have presents and such. If you book your Amtrak tickets early, they're $75 round trip. And now Megabus goes to Albany as well.
we are driving from pittsburgh to rockford Il where both our parents live... at least 9 hours.. ack!! we are trying to save $ instead of flying but its a pain. we've done it before, so its def doable.. we just have to switch driving every few hours or so.
safe travels to everyone!
I'm traveling a whopping 4 miles to my (Future)IL's house... I haven't gone home for Thanksgiving in YEARS and normally spend it very happily alone, cooking for myself, but this year... I"ll be going over there. I'm taking rolls and dessert!
FI and I are traveling to my parents for Thanksgiving. We are traveling from Sweden to Texas. I am soooo happy we're going...last year we spent Thanksgiving with just the two of us over here and it was the first time I hadn't gone home. In the future it will be pretty easy to split holidays, since his family is Danish and they don't celebrate Thanksgiving (obviously 
) we'll spend Christmas in Europe and Thanskgiving in Texas!
We're traveling to the Oregon Coast from Seattle, so about 3.5 hours of driving time each way. It's not a bad drive with the FI though :)
We are going to my dad's place in Maryland. Leaving Wednesday and coming back on Monday. Flying in and out of DC though so that will be fun.
I wish we could travel this year - my fiance has yet to meet *any* of my family, and I'd love to bring him to my sister's house. However, his job sent out an announcement that they'll be getting Thanksgiving and the day after off, and nothing more. He'll be expected to work Wednesday night, as well as that weekend.
@ hotchild: I used to take Amtrak, I love it because I don't have to worry about traffic. But I always manage to be sitting next to an annoying person! And, I usually end up having to drive all over the place but my parents are usually too busy to give their cars, bummer.
Wow, you guys are doing a lot of traveling, I hope it goes smoothly. Its so interesting to hear where people are now and where they're going or where they're from.
@Jenniferespos: Boooo, that s*cks. I haven't driven a car in 5 years anyway, so I don't drive when I'm home. I just make my little sister or mom bring me everywhere ;o)
Never again! My husband and I have officially decided to stay at home for Thanksgiving from now on. Family and friends are welcome to come up to our house, but we're not travelling to them anymore. :)
We'll be driving to spend Thanksgiving with his parents this year. It's about a 4.5 hour drive for us. I tried to convince The Hubs that we should go visit friends for the long weekend instead, but I didn't win. As for Christmas, we'll be with his folks for Christmas Eve and the drive down to my family party on Christmas morning. I have to say that I'm not psyched about the driving, but at least we both get to see our families.
We don't travel for Thanksgiving, usually, because my husband doesn't get the day after off. BUT, we do a ton of traveling for Christmas, so we never feel guilty.
For Christmas, we drive eight hours from IL to NY, and once we're in NY, both our families are four hours apart. It's exhausting.
Originally, my parents were going to drive down and visit us for Thanksgiving, but we have some wedding stuff to do so we decided to drive up there. It's about a 6.5 hour drive to get to my parents house.
Some of us are doing a lot of wear and tear to our cars huh? The traveling isn't so bad when you're with someone else but still! There doesn't seem to be many bee's flying, is it a nightmare? I've heard horror stories but I'm hoping that's not the norm, or else if it was me, I'd get take out and sit on the couch in sweats.
I always liked the idea of just going to a ski resort or something like it and having everyone in both families meet there. Someday maybe.
MY family is coming in from overseas here for the holiday. I have to pick them up at an airport 1.5 hrs away :-) Then I am hosting Thanksgiving in my townhome for 11-13 people! Our parents have met and we've done thanksgiving together (both sets of parents) for 3 years now, so at least that won't be awkward.
The big thing is we are all going to my parents Texas house for Christmas. It's going to be the first Christmas with all my family in 3 years so I'm really excited. Unfortunately, we have a first out flight on Christmas Eve from an airport 1 hr away to the furthest airport from my house in Texas. That will be a hour+ trip depending on traffic. In a rental :-)
We're only going to be there for a few days but it will be so worth it!
MY FI and I are splitting up this year - I'm traveling 5 hours to be with my family and he's traveling 1 hour to be with his. Very excited for the holiday season - I love this time of year!!!!

Sorry, there are no users yet.
How many of you guys are traveling for the holiday? AKA the busiest traveling time of the year. How far do are you traveling? Every year my FI and I split up, he goes to Connecticut which takes him like 2 hours. And I go upstate, which normally takes 3 hours but with traffic it always doubles, yaaaay :o/...
Do you guys dread the traveling part? I sure do!
I can't believe its approaching that time again! Safe/happy travels :)
