Gobble, Gobble and an Early Happy Thanksgiving Greeting with Travel Deals...

It may be a little early, but Thanksgiving salutations from TravelApe.com and friends. The Thanksgiving weekend is absolutely the biggest travel day of the year, and for goodness sake, not having a post about it here at Travel Ape's blog seems too odd.

There's lot's to do and there are traditions that track back over 100 years or generations for families and communities alike. There's high school football games about community rivals that go back decades. There are family gatherings that bring people across the country to see long lost friends and family once a year. This truly is a great day and doing so in a country that tried so ardently and against the history of humanity, embrace success, achievement, a sense of community and hopes for a better life to be thankful in this way. This truly is Thanksgiving.

A few places that people may be traveling to are Los Angeles, where the sunny shores of the California coastline can welcome an outdoor Thanksgiving feast.  Another great place for travel or if you happen to be coming to visit family is Miami Florida. Miami is graced with a high Hispanic community namely Cuban, and a lot of Thanksgiving food fare comes with a Cuban Flare. How about going to the Bayou and traveling to the New Orleans area. The influence on food is most incredible in the New Orleans area and variations on appetizers, to side dishes to even the Turkey itself is almost artistic. Just think Cajun with Turkey...The combination is a home run. 

One of the most unique dishes Travel Ape has come across is the Turducken. This is just a feast for the lover of great fowl. It basically is a de-boned turkey that is stuffed with a de-boned duck stuffed with a de-boned chicken. The basting and what goes on in an operation of cooking like this is beyond words. Succulent is all I can say.

Traditions go along with Thanksgiving like no other. Even beyond Christmas, because Thanksgiving is a true holiday of the people. Religious, or agnostic, liberal or conservative or anything in between, for a relative many of us that live in this country, we are lucky. Lucky beyond are stars. Further, comes with it an air of lightness, not of a solemn nature, of relaxation, not stress, with a step back kind of attitude and anticipation of what comes with the up and coming season.

From Travel Ape and his friends his family, he wishes all of you an upcoming Thanksgiving and continuing holiday season.
