Yeah. The Travel app, Hopper says 17 million of us are going to be crowding airports this weekend and these will be the busiest ones. You know, I love *** countdown coming in at number three, Denver, number two, Dallas and the number one busiest airport, it's always Atlanta. The busiest times will be from eight AM to 12 PM. So where are we all headed? The top domestic destinations are Dallas, Atlanta and Vegas baby. *** few tips. If you're flying, if you're driving yourself to the airport, try to reserve *** spot online in the parking garage or one of those nearby discount garages. That way you're not fighting other people at the last minute and you're seeing full lot and you're yelling at each other because you're about to miss your flight. But if you're getting ready to hit the road and you're driving, get ready. AAA says 37 million of us are taking road trips that is up 6% from last year. The worst time to be driving 3 to 7 PM on Friday and coming home 12 to 3 PM on Monday, the best times to drive before noon on Friday and before noon on Monday. That's all for today. Back to you.
