It's nothing like "down the river and through the woods..." but my Southern California version will include a freeway journey or two(or three).  I understand that patience is a virtue.  Yet another one I lack at times.

Peter,

I’ve never heard the term “pack your patience.”

Luckily we have an easy going family that gets along.

I’m not traveling, I’m having my currently active clients, who don’t have family in town to celebrate with, to my house for Thanksgiving.

Nope and nope.  I'm in the same boat as Nina Hollander, when I travel it's on the off season when there are fewer people traveling.  I'd usually get into conventions a day early and leave a day or two after it was over.  Vacations, I go during the school year.

I went down to Eugene yesterday to pick up our youngest from school, about 7 hours roundtrip. It would have been his first Thanksgiving away from home since he was born. We surprised my wife by having him home for the holiday. Traffic was not bad except in a few places. I also got the chance to see my sister/brother-in-law for dinner before heading back.  I remember some Thanksgiving where I needed significantly more patience.
