to never travel on Thanksgiving weekend. Ugh! 13 hours to Atlanta last Wednesday (should be a 10 hour trip). I took a different route home – to avoid to I-85/I-95 corridor as much as possible. The result? A 12 hr 45 minute trip. Ugh again! I-81 was a parking lot in Roanoke yesterday and traffic reports were indicating an overturned tractor-trailor 100 miles ahead – exactly where I was headed. So we exited the interstate in Roanoke and took back roads across central Virginia through Charloteesville to finally make it home.
