My brother is having Thanksgiving with his in-laws so that leaves me with my elderly parents for the holiday.

Then dad gets this bright idea "why don't we visit aunt Helen for turkey day?"

Aunt Helen is one of my favorite people in the world and she is getting up into her 90's so I say sure let's go.

Then I start thinking... Thanksgiving... traveling... oh krap what have I got myself into.

We will be flying from Los Angeles to San Antonio, we are all leaving Tuesday Nov. 25 - I am hoping that won't be too bad.

They are thinking of staying a week Tues. to Tues. however I may be coming back sooner because of work.

Would Saturday after Thanksgiving be a travel nightmare? I presume Sunday is the worst, I could fly back Monday... of just fly back Tuesday with my parents and help them get through the airport.

I have never traveled on Thanksgiving so don't know what to expect.

Thank you PPOT road warriors.
