As we gear up for the upcoming holiday, I found some interesting facts that I thought I’d share with you.

Did you know that despite record-high gas prices in 2007, the American Automobile Association (AAA) estimated that 38.7 million Americans would travel 50 miles or more from home for the Thanksgiving holiday, a slight increase (1.5 percent) over the previous year.  Of those Americans traveling for Thanksgiving in 2007, approximately 80 percent (31.2 million) were expected to go by motor vehicle, 12.1 percent (4.7 million) by airplane and the rest (2.8 million) by train, bus or other mode of transportation.

Tell me, what are your plans this holiday? Now that gas prices are a bit lower, do you plan on traveling?
