Summer doesn’t technically begin until June 21, but Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching, and that’s almost as good.
The federal holiday marks the start of summer vacation and road-trip season for millions of Americans, and AAA Travel is predicting—thanks to continued modest economic growth, and despite rising gas prices—that this Memorial Day will be the busiest since 2005. AAA Travel forecasts that more than 42 million Americans will journey 50 miles or more between May 23 and 27. AAA travels with you, so we're looking at how those millions of people are expected to travel, where and when vacation traffic may be heaviest, and what you can do to help your trip go smoothly.
