It’s the day before Thanksgiving and travel has already been a mess for some people.

Travelers at National Airport this morning and last night found cars backed up down Route 1, with some missing their flights.

AAA said today (Wednesday) is the worst day to travel by car as well, especially between 2-6 p.m., NBC4 reported.

There are chances of rain today, though it should be mostly clear in the afternoon, and folks in the Alexandria area should enjoy sunny weather on Thanksgiving Day.

Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.

Plus, when you buy a gift certificate from Well-Paid Maids, you’re supporting a living-wage cleaning company. That means cleaners get paid a starting wage of $24 an hour and get access to benefits, like 24 days of PTO and health insurance.
