HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - Travelers will need some extra space in their suitcases in order to pack their patience, ahead of a busy holiday weekend.

AAA projects more than 37 million Americans will hit the road to reach their Memorial Day destinations.

Some drivers planned ahead.

“We left at about 2:30 in the morning to try and beat all the holiday traffic and the rush hour traffic,” Kellie Erbskorn said.

Erbskorn also said her family plans to head home on Monday night, all to avoid traffic on the return trip.
