Thanksgiving Travel...Step One

I'm getting ready to do something I once thought that only the stupidest or most desperate people do- I'm going to fly from California to New York on Thanksgiving weekend. Now, I've always happily been both stupid and desperate, but that has nothing to do with flying in a plane. It's still kinda odd that I'm flying anywhere all; before this year, my last flight was in 1999 or 2000 and I was fine with that. I'm a driver by both genetics and inclination. But this as been an odd year all around. Friday's jump will mark my ninth cross country flight since January, not to mention one drive across in an RV towing a Jeep. Thus it is when you're relocating.
