I'm driving - just two hours (100 miles) - for Thanksgiving dinner with family.

What about you? What are your plans? How far are you traveling? Or have you already traveled for Thanksgiving this year?

Stuck in the desert for Thanksgiving, but our brothers and sisters at the DFAC did an AWESOME job of making it the best it could be!

My family and I have sustained a great friendship with another family within my unit. Since we will be traveling over 500 miles next month, it was more economical to stay put and enjoy the company of good friends. We "killed two birds with one stone"-we improved an already adequate friendship and saved money.

This year I am having Japanese Thanksgiving. We have a spread of the most awesome homemade quazi-traditional nummers. The neighbors have been sampling the goods for the last couple of days. Some of the best traditions are the new ones.

Not going anywhere this year. We are in Europe and it would be very $$$ to buy plane tickets to the states.
