It’s that time of year when many people are on the move, heading home to see family or leaving home for warmer (or colder) climes. I finished off this puzzle from the comfort of my home in the middle of a wind and rain storm very happy that I don’t have anywhere to go today but with lots of memories of mid-December travel. Having gone away to school for many years, this is the week I was usually boarding a series of buses and trains to make my way back home for the December holidays. Fond memories… better in the rear view mirror!

Among my recent midis, this one should rank as much more traditional with fewer blocks, a more open grid and four interlocking 11s that form the theme. I tried to keep the cluing on the easier side so you can have a fun solve while spending time being transported elsewhere.

I hope you enjoy the puzzle and more importantly, have a peaceful and relaxing holiday season!
