It's a fantastic feeling to be able to travel this weekend, after a year-plus in quarantine. But there are SOME drawbacks in returning to normalcy.
For one, a LOT of people will be on the roads. A recent poll found that 132 million Americans, or 51% of us, will go somewhere this weekend. And it's expected to be the biggest weekend of travel since at least Christmas of 2019.
The roads will be crammed this afternoon . . . tomorrow afternoon . . . and on Saturday, particularly between 11:00 A.M. and 1:00 P.M.
The best times to hit the road are late tonight . . . tomorrow morning . . . Saturday evening . . . all day Sunday, which is the Fourth of July . . . and early Monday morning.
When you're coming back, try to avoid Monday, late afternoon, between 4:00 P.M. and 5:00 P.M.
