About 1.3 percent fewer Americans are expected to fly this summer than last summer, according to the Air Transport Association.
And for the first time since the economic shock after the September 11 attacks, Americans were projected to drive less over Memorial Day weekend, the traditional kickoff of the summer travel season.
AAA Vice President Mark Brown says the slowing economy and high fuel prices "have pushed some Americans to what we call the traveling tipping point. It's clear that a small number of us may choose to stay home ... and relax with friends and family rather than take a vacation."
~~~~~~~~
I think this is a good way to say "um...no" to the higher gas prices and the ways that airlines are screwing us over with prices and fees...at the same time, it's kind of sad. Almost everywhere in the world is open to all of the worlds citizens to travel and explore...but we can't afford to do so anymore...
will you be staying home and entertaining yourself? or will you travel dispite the prices?

i know a lot of people who are still traveling. a lot of my friends on facebook are always updating their status and saying they are in ny or california or florida. i think people don't adjust to change very well and a lot of people are still living like the economy is in an upswing.
