How long can you wait and how much time can you spend on the trip down? In other words when do you have/need/want to be in Houston? If soon, depart very, very early on Friday 11/27 before the traffic gets heavy around the Tri-State area (NY-CT-NJ). Lots of people leave for home later on Friday morning and afternoon after spending Thanksgiving at Grandma s house. If you can t leave that early, wait until Saturday 11/28. Traffic isn t bad on the Saturday after Thanksgiving...but gets heavy again on Sunday afternoon so avoid crowded metropolitan areas on your way on Sunday afternoon 11/29.
Traffic is not a big problem on the interstates outside of major cities.You ll be here in two days with little problems. Report Abuse
the traffic is thicker on the weekends so I would say a tuesday or wednesday would be the best day to comewhenever you do decide, have a safe trip!
