This is why many Americans refer to travel guides to help them gain extra travel advice that could make their next trip different from the last. Sometimes it's one simple suggestion, like bringing a portable DVD player that could ultimately save the day.
Travel guides frequently recommend New England and New York City for Thanksgiving travel. In New England, you can visit the historic Richard Sparrow House (built in 1640), walk through the Burial Hill Fort, go to the Old Court House (circa 1749), see the Howland House (where a Mayfair pilgrim lived), visit costumed travel guides at the Harlow Old Fort House and (of course) go see Plymouth Rock!
You might want to also visit the Mayflower, the Pilgrim Monument, Plimouth Plantation, the Pilgrim Hall Museum and Cape Cod. In New York City, the big draw is the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, one of the longest running parades in America; dating back to the 1920s. You can visit http://www.gonyc.about.com/cs/thanksgiving/a/tdayparade.htm for more detailed travel advice pertaining to the parade.
According to AAA, 82% of all Thanksgiving Day travelers will be driving to dinner this year, rather than flying. A Mapquest poll about Thanksgiving travel found that most drivers have more than an hour to travel for Thanksgiving dinner and 25% have road trips exceeding 200 miles.
Travel guides say that most people leave on Wednesday or Thursday, so try leaving on Tuesday to beat the rush if you can. Most travelers leave Thursday night or stay for the long weekend, so Friday would be an ideal day to return. Additionally, most people are driving between the hours of 9 and noon, so plan accordingly for a stress-free trip!
