LOL! I am traveling to Alabama also. I am relieved that the Pres in not going to be there. If he were going, my paranoid meter would be off the scale. I spend too much time on the Threat Matrix thread to be comfortable traveling on a holiday weekend anyway , but having the POTUS being nearby would be off much. (Unless I would have a chance to see him myself, of course!)
So, do you have family in Alabama to that you are visiting for Thanksgiving? This will be my first visit there. My son-in-law is now stationed in Huntsville and I am really looking forward to this visit. :-)
