Three Day Weekend Travel

A three day weekend used to mean
That roads on Friday night
Would be so packed you'd barely move -
Vacationers in flight.

But somehow patterns shifted
And the exodus began
Maybe Wednesday night or Thursday - 
Leaving early was the plan.

So with fingers crossed, I'm praying
That's the way things still appear
For I'm traveling this evening
And I hope the roads are clear!

Your poem really made me smile ... Our roads are starting to get busy Ilene its the start of the TT races and we have about 40,000 visitors which basically adds about 50% to the population! :-) hugs Jan xx
