The face of travel is changing. Security at airports has made it necessary to be there two hours in advance and luggage restrictions have brought new meaning to the term ‘traveling light’ as more passengers than ever before choose, if at all possible, to travel with one piece of carry-on. However, it isn’t only air travel that has changed. The price of gasoline has altered the feasibility of touring the country in a 60 foot motor home with a compact car in tow; nevertheless millions of people will take to the road for a vacation at least once this year.
Gas prices may alter the distance people choose to travel, but the bottom line is people love to travel and most are willing to pay the price. AAA (American Automobile Association) states that 75% of Americans will travel by car, truck or RV, while only 22% will travel by plane and 2% by bus or other form of transportation. While retirees have the option of traveling during non-peak seasons, they too like to travel during the summer, as that is the best weather for vacations. No matter where or when you travel, there are some safety preparations that can ensure your trip will be safe and enjoyable.
