Gasoline prices are killing me. No one can afford to vacation. We have to take less hours. Supply and demand is bull.
More than 6 of Ten USA citizens say it's important they escape from home this year, a recent Gallup Poll finds. And many say they're finding techniques around high gas prices, airfares and hotel rooms to do it.
"Rising gas prices won't at all affect my vacation," claims Richard Miller of Plano, Texas, who's flying to San Francisco in July with a ticket he scooped up in a fare sale. "I'm going."
The poll implies that Northern Americans are prepared to pay more to get away this summer : 71% of the people that tend to travel say they are expecting to spend more on transport this year, and 44% plan on paying out more for food, lodging and entertainment.
Pay more they'll. Nearly every facet of travel in the usa costs more than it probably did last year, with the summer travel season starting in under 2 weeks, on Memorial Day weekend
