Happy Thanksgiving to one and all! For those of you traveling, have a safe trip and enjoy the relatives.
Just wanted to pass on something I have been doing for some time now. When I am scheduled for a trip, even a weekender, and am going to fly to my destination, I ship my luggage to the destination via UPS; same for the return. You can ship what you want and need, only leaving you a small carry-on bag on your trip. Works great and doesnt really cost that much. Sure makes the trip easier.

I travel every week for my job and have for the last four years. It does keep getting worse. For example, I was on six different flights and two different airlines last week. Guess what? Each and every one of them was delayed or cancelled and the shortest delay was about two hours. The airline as an industry is in trouble and I do not see any light at the end of the tunnel. The government needs to step in and regulate these airlines that have begun to use all of these delays to their advantage!!!

Its time people started thinking differently about their lives. Why do we all need to do holidays and go visit family on the same days? Why do so many of us work the same times (9 – 5)? Traffic, line waits and such get worse and worse every year because of this crush of people that insist on running their lives on this accepted schedule. Its time we thought of alternative ways to alleviate this problem. Thanksgiving is just a day like any other day; it is no different if you celebrate it tomorrow or next week. Workplaces should be given tax incentives to encourage alternate working hours and vacation times. The years I worked 3 p.m. – 11 p.m. were the most stress-free of my life.

To the person who says Thanksgiving is just another day, boy do you have it wrong. It is the day we publicly give thanks for what we have been blessed with. Every day we should give thanks but on Thanksgiving it is a special day to gather as friends and family to do so. Maybe you like to work 3 – 11 p.m. but the rest of the world lives in real time. Many of us live great distances from family and want to be with them on the holidays. It is time for those who agree to step up to the plate and say so.

Gas prices high? Stay out of Canada; here it is $4.00 per gallon!

If people have not figured out by now that holiday travel is likely to be stressful and fraught with obstacles, then maybe they should stay under their rocks and not even attempt it. Such is the nature of the season!

I decided to travel on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. I was going home from many months of travel. I arrived at DFW [Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, airport] only to learn the flights into Chicago,
