Americans are gearing up for a busy weekend of travel to celebrate Thanksgiving. The Rainbow Bridge border crossing reopened Thursday evening following a car crash and explosion on the American side of the border that killed two people.

55-million people are expected to be passing through airports and navigating highways to get home for the Thanksgiving holiday and long weekend.

And not only is the annual weekend a time to spend with family, but it also sees millions of people hunting for the best deals on Black Friday.
