Traveling for Memorial Day? You’re in Good Company.

AAA expects a new Memorial Day travel record. Here’s what to know.

By Berit Thorkelson, AARP. Published May 23, 2025.

A record number of travelers are expected on the nation’s roads and in airports for the Memorial Day holiday, according to AAA, despite concerns over economic uncertainty and airline challenges.

AAA recommends that travelers over 50 – 70 percent of whom plan to travel in 2025, according to AARP’s Travel Trends Survey – plan the “route ahead of time, especially for older drivers,” says Aixa Diaz, AAA spokesperson. She suggests mapping the trip out, rather than blindly relying on GPS. “If there’s a car crash on the interstate and you can take a detour, it’s nice to at least have a general idea of where you’re going and the nearest rest areas or exits."

Are YOU traveling or staying home?  🤔

I am staying home and notice unlike LAST YEAR 2024, the parking lot at my Apartment Complex is FULL!!!  😱

I guess folks are "opting" to stay home THIS YEAR.

Lol, I luv when everyone travels as it is quiet here. Oh well,...

Thank you Military Personnel & Your Families for what you do.  💛

Take care,
