Roads, skies less full as Thanksgiving rush starts

Roads, skies less full as Thanksgiving rush starts: "We have to pay the money to change and we don't have the money,' said Kathy Boyd, 54.
Cutbacks didn't deter Donita Hill of Estero, Fla., who was traveling with her husband, Bob to spend Thanksgiving with their son, a resident at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. The couple waited Wednesday to take a train to Worcester, Mass.
'I think sometimes when money is tight, you re-evaluate what's really important to you, and you realize that it's really family and friends,' said Donita Hill.
'Maybe you cut back on the (holiday) gifts a little bit, or maybe you don't have as extravagant a Thanksgiving as you used to,' she said. 'Maybe you don't have a free-range bird as you've had in the past; maybe you go to a Butterball.'"
