the next few days and we will get really great tips that hopefully should make this easier for you. >> our good friend from aaa mid- atlantic is here. >> what are you saying in terms of the volume? >> we are looking at 38.4 million americans will travel this thanksgiving holiday. that is slightly up about 1.4% compared to last year. in maryland, the rate is higher at about 4%. the majority of people will be traveling but the vast majority of the people traveling will be driving between 84% and 86%. we expect the roads to be busy and as far as air traffic goes, we're looking at declines. it will be a continuation of a decade-long trend. in maryland, we are looking at a 5% decrease in the number of people who will be flying.

that is not to say that the airports will not be busy. >> you have some really good tips that you want to offer? you say to be informed and be prepared. that is kind of basic but it is really true. walk us through that. >> there have been so many changes in the requirements and restrictions in security. it unfortunately changes from time to time. we encourage travelers to look at the tsa web site, tsa.gov. check out the website to make sure you are aware of what the restrictions are and what the guidelines are. >> what up -- one of the new changes has to do with carry on? >> you cannot -- you are restricted as far as what you can carry as far as liquids and things like that. people can only carry 3 ounces

of liquid on a plane and you probably put it in 81 court back, a clear back, but if you carry a large shampoo or perfume, they will confiscated. it. >> it is amazing how much stuff people are still trying to bring proof. you also say that so much of air travel is ticketing. you get up there and you feel like you don't have something. should you printed out at home? >> exactly, we came back from florida and we checked in on my blackberry. we encourage people to print out a hard copy of their airline ticket. that is especially good like what we saw earlier in the week with a computer glitch. we encourage people to go ahead and print out those airline

tickets in advance of their departure also very important is they tend to check with their airline as far as before they leave their home. check for the departure times. >> a few years ago, i was driving home from washington on a tuesday before thanksgiving. ike leggett took six hours. it was so awful -- i think it took six hours. it was so awful. >> it varies. the reality is that with 86% of people traveling by car, is difficult not to find some time when the roads are congested. we encourage people to leave early. if you leave on tuesday or wednesday morning, tried to leave before 7:00 a.m. or wait later into the morning -- evening after 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. on thanksgiving, laid before 9:00 a.m..

>> for more on getting your car prepared to hit the road, lisa is outside. what do you have for us? >> before you get on the road, you want to make sure your vehicle is safe. here is ed from aaa to help us. the checklist is like five points that we need to get started with the tires? >> right. >> brake fluid, check for oil and other fluids, check your battery, and checked all lies. >> the thing that is important to check, especially for your weekend trip. >> let's look under the hood. can you do this yourself or do you need to go to a mechanic? >> you can do it either way. some things we will talk about are simple things you can do on your own. checking the oil in the car, you have to make sure it has been

shut off for a couple of minutes so that the oil runs back into the pan. you pull the stick out and wipe off. you put it back in and read it. i am able on oil right now. >> it is probably a good idea to keep some oil in your vehicle? >> yes, there is a box in the back of mine. >> you want to take your time at home and do this thoroughly. >> the other thing was to check the tire pressures. that is important and as you get into colder weather, they will change daily. >> really? >> yes. 32 pounds. that is good for me on this car. as the temperature drops, so will the air pressure and the tires. if we go from being an average of 60 degrees to an average of 30 degrees, the tire pressure will drop. >> if you forget what the number

should be, it is usually on retire? >> actually, it is on your door. there's a maximum pressure on the tire but that is the maximum that should be put the other thing that is important is to find out if you have enough tread on retire. this is a tread depth gauge. you can go into the group here. then you can read the 30 seconds that winds up with six says 32 on these tires gripped -- says -- 6/32 on these tires. by the time you get to 2/32, you should change your tires. the less space to have been there, the harder it is for water to get out of the more chance of hydroplaning. >> you need to make sure you check that, ok. anything else? >> the other things to check your lights. if you have to do it on your on, go to the local strip mall

and back up so you can look at it in the windows and shekel your lights and make sure they are working. >> all good stuff. thank you so much. have a safe trip wherever you go this holiday even if it is down

no matter how times we give him a bath, he still smells. >> 0 yes. >> does this have anything to do with the breed? >> it the smell comes from the teeth which many do, you have to address that for it could be diet or bad teeth. many dogs have really sticky glands that smell putrid. >> is it that wet dogs now? >> exactly. what you have to do is go to a veterinarian and get antibiotics and medicated bats and you can control a very probably cannot cure it but you can control it. you probably have to bathe your dog a couple of times a week but you can't keep a smile at bay. >> so there is hope. thank you for joining us this morning. domino, you are really

moving on to "the blindside." a football player for the ravens brought his mother into town and this is his story. he comes into a wealthy, white southern family and in a movie out of it. they could have gone into a serious investigation of all the emotional, cultural ramifications of this adoption or they could of made a glossy, hollywood-friendly movie. the movie is entertaining. sandra bullock is fun and as a great performance as the mother. you never get to know the main character. it is a celebration of a great

deed that the family did. you will enjoy it. it has a lot of pleasures but for me, i wanted to get to know the characters better. i want something a little bit more rigorous. two stars for "the blind side." >> i know what to be a killjoy, cause it is fun. >> the last movie we have been talking about because if you read the book is the most painful store you can imagine. it is amazing. there is mariah carey without makeup. she is very good. there is oscar buzz around this movie. you can compare it to "the blind side." you are looking at this precious character and how she can lift herself out of the most horrible situation with the help of love of the support of people.
