Hey friend, Every year, I try to tell myself I’ve got time before Thanksgiving travel gets hectic—and every year, I’m reminded that families are booking earlier than ever. This year? I’m seeing it firsthand. Traffic to my Thanksgiving travel guides has already spiked, and that tells me one thing: people are locking in their plans now. If you’re thinking about a family getaway this fall, here are three destinations worth booking ASAP: 🍂 Asheville, North Carolina 🍁 New York City, New York 🌵Scottsdale, Arizona And the number one site I see my followers using? Expedia. Their upfront pricing means no hidden fees and upfront pricing.
If you’ve been meaning to plan something but haven’t gotten around to it, take this as your sign. These spots—and more—are going fast. See My Top Picks for Thanksgiving Travel → Wishing you fewer stress-cooked meals and more memorable escapes this year! Safe travels, Travel on! Tonya
