As much as we would love for you to sit in traffic for hours listening to Country 1025, we care about you too much to not share some important travel information.

According to AAA, we will likely see a record amount of drivers traveling to the Cape and New Hampshire this weekend. Apparently, the higher gas prices and less than ideal weather forecast isn't stopping us for getting to lakes, beaches and summer fun.

Experts say the worst times to leave are Thursday and Friday afternoon, and Monday midday.

According to INRIX, who've teamed with AAA, the worst times to travel this for the holiday weekend are the following:

Thursday 3-5pm

Friday 4-5pm

Saturday 11am-1pm

Monday 4-5pm
