LOS ANGELES - JUNE 14: Evening traffic fills the 101 freeway near Hollywood, on June 14, 2004 in Los Angeles, California. New California auto emissions regulations proposed today would require auto makers to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by 30% in the next decade.

We are all on a mission...to travel over the river and through the woods to Grandma's house. We need our turkey and stuffing! If you are hitting the road this week in search of  your mashed potatoes with gravy on top, there's likely to be a mashup of traffic to and fro.

AAA is helping us out by pointing out the best and worst times for travel.

Here's the breakdown:
Best time to travel- After 9 p.m. on Wednesday; before 11 a.m. on Thursday and Friday; and before noon on Saturday and Sunday
