Thanksgiving Travel Tips

With Thanksgiving next week, a number of people are making their travel plans to visit family.  Spurred by cheap gas prices, millions of Americans plan to travel away from home by driving.

Traveling by car remains the preferred mode of travel for Thanksgiving.  Even a slight increase in people on roads might wreak havoc on families’ holiday plans — even Google Maps is trying to help travelers reach their destinations.  The organization released travel tips Tuesday using data from Thanksgiving 2014.

So what are travelers to do this busy time of year?  For starters, keep track of traffic trends.  Google Maps can report to you which day of the week is the worst traffic day, and you can plan your travels on the other days or at times when traffic will be the least crowded.

Here are a few more tips for families planning to travel for Thanksgiving.

– Don’t overpack.  Most travelers know not to haul too many belongings with them — but that doesn’t mean they won’t.  The more weight you put in the truck of your car, the harder your car has to work to get you where you are going.

– Utilize apps.  You never know what you might encounter on the road.  Apps aid in booking hotels, checking finances and keeping track of scheduled events.

– Be an early bird.  Not all people have the option of kicking off their Thanksgiving break early, but those who can avoid issues.  Not only should you think about getting on the road early in the morning, but if you can consider traveling a few days early.

– Consider alternative routes.  There aren’t really any undiscovered shortcuts during the holidays – at least none that we know of.  But those routes of the “alternative” sort might be the next best thing.  Here’s where those Apps could come in handy.  Use an App like Waze to get you moving on a new, less trafficked route.

– Think strategy.  Always have a plan B.  There might be an accident ahead of you and you need to be prepared to possibly be stuck in traffic.  Have a stash of necessities ready in the car with you.

– Keep your wits.  People might forget potential dangers like identity theft during the holiday bustle.  That’s why safeguarding devices before traveling, making sure passwords are unique and avoiding public Wi-Fi should remain top priorities even when arriving at a destination on time seems most important.

– Account for the kids.  Snacks go a long way in keeping kids from getting cranky.  If treats fail to keep youngsters calm, you might need to pull to the side of the road and just take a break.  Be sure to choose a state rest area or safe exit, don’t pull onto the side of an interstate.

– Keep pets hydrated.  Families taking furry friends on trips don’t have to worry about summer heat, but they should pack a cooler, blanket and harness.

In Honor of St Patrick’s Day, Ireland’s Vehicles…

Considering their love of beer, it’s probably lucky the Irish haven’t played a big role in the evolution of the car.  They do, however, have a few that are well-known, and we thought we’d share a few of those in honor of St Patrick’s Day.

1.    Alfa Romeo Guilietta QV – It’s about as Irish as a pub with no beer, but Italian sportscar maker Alfa Romeo has long used the four-leafed clover as a symbol of extra sportiness on its Quadrofoglio Verde branded family cars.  Alfa Romeo is said to have adopted the cloverleaf symbol after racing driver Ugo Sivocci – who went by the nickname “eternally second” – had a four-leaf clover painted on his bright red racer in 1923. Then he started winning.  The latest cloverleaf model is the Guilietta QV hot hatch, which features a 1.7-litre turbo charged four-cylinder that produces 173kW and can rocket to 100km/h in less than seven seconds – slightly slower than Seamus’ ability to down a pint of Guinness.

2.    Delorean DMC-12 – It’s most famous for its starring role in Steven Spielberg’s Back To The Future trilogy, but before the Delorean DMC-12 (to give it its full name) became one of Hollywood’s most recognisable cars its biggest claim to fame is that it is one of the only three cars ever to be built in Ireland. That, and the dramatic rise and fall of the company behind it. The car was the brainchild of former General Motors executive John Delorean, who after a number of stalled attempts to generate the funds to kickstart his own car company eventually used a 100 million pound grant from the Northern Ireland Development Fund to build the Delorean factory in Belfast. After a series of long delays, production commenced in late 1981 and about 9000 cars were built before the company went bankrupt after Delorean was arrested for drug trafficking. He was later acquitted, but his dream car was washed up.

3.    Shamrock – Like the Delorean, Ireland’s own Shamrock was a bit of a shambles. The company was established by an American duo, James F Conway and William K Curtis, in county Kerry in the late 1950s with the aim to produce a large luxury car to export to the United States.  The car was styled similar to the popular large American models of the time, but was powered by a wheezy 1.5-litre four-cylinder from the Austin A55 which didn’t endow it with the kind of performance US customers demanded. Only 10 cars were built before the company went belly up. All the unused parts were reportedly dumped in a nearby lake when the factory officially closed.


4.   
TMC-Costin – Anyone would think that a qualified aerodynamicist and race car designer would come up with something prettier than this. But no, the TMC-Costin is the last car ever to be built in Ireland. It was designed by Frank Costin, who founded the British kit car company Marcos and worked with Lotus’ and Maserati’s racing teams before setting up his own company in Wexford. While the TMC-Costin was quite successful in club-level motor racing in Great Britain, only 39 were made before the company, like Delorean and Shamrock before it, went bankrupt in 1987.

5.    And in the spirit of the holiday… Beer-powered cars – Considering the Irish don’t mind a tipple – or 10 – there’s bound to be plenty of bi-product from the production of its beer. And that waste product could be used to create ethanol to fuel its fleet of cars.
