So who all is traveling this holiday season?

[OogieBoogie]

I was just reading a article from AAA, where they said that an estimated 32 million people are going to be traveling for the holidays. How many of you are going to be traveling for it? How far will you be going? Has the rising gas prices has any influence on your travel plans?

Is the first week of December considered travelling during the holiday season?

If so - Fort Myers, FL Dec. 1 - 5.

No air travel here. Will make the 2 hr drive to the grandparents house on christmas eve if that counts.

I'm flying the day before thanksgiving and then back home the day after. Not flying that far. Yes gas prices are the reason I am flying.

Flying to Boston for the Christmas holidays to be with relatives there and in Rhode Island. Based on much past experience...about 50/50 chance of major weather related travel headaches. But that also means a 50/50 chance of a traditional "White Christmas."

No air travel here, either. Just driving to my mom's on Thanksgiving and Christmas, and maybe to my grandma's one of those days.

My wife and I will pack-up our three kids & the dog into the minivan and drive the 940 miles to Cincinnati for Christmas.

We do it every year.

I don't like spending the "actual day" of any holiday anywhere else but home. I am traveling by plane to Disney World for 6 days in early December. My husband and I were entertaining the idea of spending New Years Eve in Wisconsin Dells, but our favorite resort was already booked. That's only a 3 hour drive, door to door.

I once checked airfare closer to holidays like Thanksgiving, and Christmas and it was almost twice what I am paying for my early December trip.

If you can call driving down the 5 to DL for Thanksgiving traveling, then yes, we're traveling.

Enjoy!

Hubby and I are flying to Miami w/ my parents to visit with an aunt and uncle, but not till right after New Year's, so I don't know if that counts.

I am going to Banning on Thanksgiving, which is a full 40 minutes from our house! We are really anti-travel around the holidays. We used to be really schleppy and now we're like "come to us!"
