Less people going on holidays


Now that the US is facing some financial difficulties, how do you expect it to menace our holidays?

Travel over the Thanksgiving holiday will drop for the first time in six years due to the economic slowdown and fewer airline flights, the auto club AAA forecast on Tuesday.

The travel club says 41 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home. That’s down from 41.6 million last year.

AAA President Robert L. Darbelnet said the economy makes Thanksgiving travel a challenge for some Americans, but they’ll get help from the recent decline in gasoline prices, which have tumbled from their summertime highs.
