Driving to mom's 15 minutes away.

i am going to fort worth on sunday and back to wyoming on wed. for work. suck.... i am sure to get stuck in dfw or denver

So class starts up the following Monday or does Thanksgiving start your winter break? If it was the latter, okay, whatever, kicked out for winter break. But if it is the former, getting kicked out for 2-5 days, that's lame. Considering that some people might have to travel a good distance to get home and you already pay an exorbitant amount to live in campus housing (generally speaking).

Class starts back the following Monday. Winter break isn't until Dec 18th. Winter session starts Jan 5, goes seamlessly into Spring semester on Feb 4.

Wow, long winter break if you don't take classes during winter session. My last final for fall quarter is 12/8 (so break starts then for me) and classes resume 1/4 for winter quarter....

Nope, going to see the family close by and then going to work!

 

[BoomerD]

Thankfully, NO...but, I have to go to class Wednesday evening in Tracy...the freeways are gonna be one long parking lot...

I think the single worst commute I ever had was the Wednesday before turkey day a few years back. Took me over 5 hours to drive 90 miles.

 

[moshquerade]

Yes, a whole 5 minutes away. 😀

 

[Bateluer]

Nope, staying local. There's a 10M run fairly close, that's all I'm going to do.

 

[bignateyk]

Yeah, but just a 3 hour drive to pittsburgh.

 

[lokiju]

Nope, my parents are coming up though.

We'll be traveling for Christmas though.

 

[Schadenfroh]

I am going to drive back home to visit friends and family. It is an eight hour trip thanks to road construction / traffic.

 

[Zargon]

up to the great chicago area and then rockford

 

[40Hands]

I'm renting a car but since I don't have my own insurance it's probably going to run me ~$60 a day. I really only need the car to get there and get back. Not the 4 days in between. Anyone have any cheaper ideas?

 

[T9D]

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Nope spending it alone by choice, been a very bad year.

 

[Demo24]

Yep, leaving Wednesday to visit my dad. Nice 5hr drive or so.

 

[JDub02]

Heading to NC to visit the wife's family. Should be a fun trip ... about 3.5 hours.

[AstroManLuca]

I'm going to travel to a Chinese restaurant with my parents for Thanksgiving this year. Probably have Peking Duck. Yum.

 

[oogabooga]

Staying put, woo.

 

[djheater]

No, and we almost always do. We decided not to spend the $300+ it ususally costs to go visit my Mom. makes me sad, I miss my mommy 🙁

Fly, take a train/bus, rent a car for the trip there and the trip back as separate rentals?

 

[Krazy4Real]

Yes. I'm going to Mexico to visit my parents.

 

[n yusef]

I'm going to my uncle's new house in The Hamptons.

 

[Terabyte]

Going back to the bay for turkey day, but it's only a ~1hr drive from Davis,CA.
