Are your travel plans this year different from your normal and what, if any factors (job, fuel prices) influenced your decision?

Yes. We have already booked our flight to Kuala Lumpur in October (cheap fare) and but I think little of it as yet. Perhaps a day up to Genting (casino, funfair etc)
Since it's considered a domestic flight so guess money will be just as normal. Spend carefully, shop less etc hahahaha.......
I was looking in the AARP bulletin at a report of people's changes due to the price of gasoline. I hadn't changed a one of the items they asked about. Not because I don't give a darn about the price of gas. We're not rich. It was just that we don't normally do any of the things they asked about. I had no idea we were so contrary.
We will not be traveling (as most people might mean it) this summer because we never do. Bernd has a little time off coming up, be we are more likely to take a short day trip to some favorite location. Like a picnic lunch in the Granite Dells (I love to climb all over the granite boulders and pick up rocks and take wildlife photos) or go to visit the red rocks in Sedona. Stuff like that.
Traveling this year. . .sounds very romantic. Kathy and I have read the brochures for several years now about sailing on a ship to visit the last frontier of beautiful Alaska. We speak of smelling the sea air. . .hearing the call of the native gulls, and visualize the puffs of water as the whales surface for more clean far North breath. . .ah, traveling by sea to the great ice fields of Sitka.
10 days away from work. . .no problem. The price of the fuel is included in the special offer. Hmmm, room and food. . .wow, we would be traveling in style for a song.
Ah, but as I type these four gray walls surround me. Our car's transmission is not working. After paying our few bills, we found that we have $18.32 cent left to last for two weeks. . .Alaska may as well be the moon. . .
But, I never fail my loving wife. On July 4th we will be traveling the whole two blocks to the fire works show. Yep, I'm taking her traveling. She doesn't walk too well so we will be taking the chair. I'll drive, she has the fried chicken and cokes. It's our 13th anniversary.
Happy traveling folks. . .where ever you go-

» Answer from Miriam Gerdes Answer given 314 days 6 hours ago.We really do not travel much in the summer because our jobs are busier in the late spring and summer. We prefer to travel in the fall, winter or early spring. This is also great because the fares and hotels are less expensive for "off season." We are currently thinking of where we might go this fall, to "get away."
We recently purchased a beach house about 3 hours away from our home. We have been spending more time there (when we do not have it rented out). In that way we are traveling there more than we normally would.
We really haven't changed our travel practices this year on the whole, we do not spend wildly or buy crazy things.
yes but so far only in my dreams lol
