My family puts the fun back in dysfunctional. For me, it's all about enjoying Uncle Harold before he falls over from scarfing too many rum balls behind Aunt Sarah's back. I love to travel, but I wouldn't miss this show for anything.

If you're part of that lucky crowd heading south, TripAdvisor travelers say jetting south on Christmas and New Year's day will save you money.

Part of me wishes that all

Part of me wishes that all my holiday travel was to somewhere warm, without family. And part of me agrees with the message in 13 goin on 30 - traveling over Christmas is weird and kind of inhuman. Even if it isn't Christmas, who would skip their own family's big holiday?

  • On Surviving a Hurricane While Traveling, Lisa S. said "Growing up in good ole NC, I have survived my share of storms. Actually, where I sit currently (on a barrier island) has been under water many times. Staying on an island is scary. We leave if it is over a CAT 1. The most important thing for us is to fill our gas tanks at the first inkling that there may be a storm. Water, medicines, non perishable food, they're all really important. Honestly, if it is a big storm, alcohol later serves as pay for work. We stock up on EVERYTHING. We start eating out of the freezer days before (like we did tonight, getting ready for Earl). You don't want much to go bad. Then we tie up all the trash cans, secure grills, and hold on for dear life :)"

  • On American Tourist Kidnappings on the Rise in Mexico, Roger said "Better not to drive if you can travel by bus. Buses are not apt to be targets like cars with US plates that also can be stolen. The buses in Mexico are very comfortable like flying in a plane they often have movies and it is safer.Plan your trip and don't travel alone especially if you are female.Women traveling alone are a target Good luck and stay alert."
