Holiday Travel: Road Trip Essentials
The Morning Hustle Tackles Holiday Travel
The holiday season is here, and The Morning Hustle crew is getting real about the chaos of traveling to see family. Kicking off the conversation, the hosts debated the best strategies for hitting the road. The consensus? Avoid peak traffic at all costs. The discussion got lively as they compared travel styles, from those who like to wake up and go immediately, to others who prefer leaving in the dead of night, like 1 AM, to guarantee an empty highway. The key takeaway was that planning is everything. If you leave too early in the morning, around 4 AM, you risk hitting the morning rush just as you’re getting into your driving groove.
The classic debate of driving versus flying also took center stage. While Lore’l was strictly pro-plane, arguing that you can find good deals if you book in advance, Alton & Kyle pointed out that gas prices are nothing compared to the cost of multiple plane tickets for a family. The conversation brought up nostalgic memories of childhood road trips, packed in the family station wagon because flying was never an option. Kyle evern shared how his kids recently asked to experience a road trip, proving that family traditions and travel styles come full circle.
