Over the overpasses and through the roads to grandmother's house we go! Thousands of people across the country are expected to travel this holiday weekend, and there are some ways to create a safe and easy trip.
If you are driving, make sure your vehicle is prepared for the long drive. You can do this by checking the tires, engine, and if you are concerned about the condition of your vehicle, use a different vehicle if possible.
Make sure you also have a flashlight, water, and snacks in case you become temporarily stranded. If you have a celluar device, make sure that is handy as well.
We all know that traffic is heavy this time of year, but in past years, weather has been an issue as well. A white Christmas is a "no go" for Mid-Michigan, so weather should not be an issue here. If you are traveling anywhere else, make sure you check the forecast online.
If you are flying, make sure you leave an hour early to get to the airport, and pack the least amount of luggage as possible to prevent extra fees. Also, make sure your flight is not delayed or canceled. You can do this by going to the Weather Channel Flight Tracker.
