Traveling for the Holidays

     With the Holidays just around the corner; the airports will be filling up and the highways will be bumper to bumper. Traveling is a really big part of the holidays; with everyone going to be with family members to celebrate.  If you plan to fly somewhere over the holidays, you should make sure that you do it well in advance because the flights are booked really early and that would be very devastating if you wouldn’t be able to make it in time or even get a flight. But a helpful hint is, if you are wanting to save money and can get off work/school, I would try to travel a week or so in advance because around holidays the flights are the most expensive.

                I always travel for Christmas and it’s always very hectic because you have to take so much. But at least I don’t have to worry about the extra expense and worry about trying to get all of our luggage on the plane. I always enjoy this time of the year with all the family being able to get together and having a great time.

                A side effect of traveling over Christmas by plane is that making sure you cut down on your luggage and figuring how you’re going to get your presents back home. A lot of our family travel by plane and have this same issue. A good way that you could get their stuff back is by UPS or First Class Mail. Then you don’t have to worry about your stuff getting back and how you’re going to get all fit on the plane without paying an arm in and a leg extra for it. 

                Just remember, it doesn’t matter how you are traveling for the holidays, just be safe and have a great time with your family. This is an extra exciting time of the year for college students to be able to go home for the holidays for probably the first time since the fall to see their families. They got their first semester done and ready for a long break to recover. This is extra exciting for the freshmen in college because that they finally get to come back and see family again after a long fall at college.
