Just curious - how many of you actually traveled for the holiday weekend?

[northernsoul]

We didn't go anywhere and I only know one person from my extended social circle who did.

[Deja Q]

1. I power-walked 2 miles to the pet store.

Then I lamely-walked 2 miles to get back home, holding a bunch of goodies for my flock-of-a-family.

Does that count? :shrug:

[LisaM]

2. Yes, we drove up to the San Juan Islands

I did notice two things: 1) the number of boats on the water was WAY-Y-Y down. There were hardly any large pleasure boats. Most of the pleasure boats were smaller, and there were more sailboats, and 2) traffic coming home was much lighter than usual.

3. We did go 70 miles one way to a special event. nt

[Selatius]

4. None of the friends I know went anywhere. I didn't go anywhere. Neither did my family.

It is simply a hassle to absorb the cost of travel.

[phantom power]

5. We went to a local park. Maybe 10 miles.

[Junkdrawer]

6. 20 minutes to the local mega-mall. And we had the place to ourselves...

10. i took a trolley 10 blocks to the wine & liquor store...

then hit the beach (gloating) a block from my house for the weekend...

i don't how people budget long trips, unless they have 'built-in' the screwing they are going to get...like guessing gas will be $4.10 next week or something...

[Indenturedebtor]

24. Actually I have been known to take trips for a good screwing...

Something about hotels just makes it better :P

For our part we didn't do much.

We took the dog to the vet and the park on Saturday.

We were going to go hiking on Sunday but the dog was sick from vaccinations haha.

We were going to go to the zoo on Monday but my wife was sick. Monday night she says "Why don't we ever do anything any more?" :eyes:

my brother has a house in the hills(nice view):7

15. I traveled, but not because it was a holiday weekend.

There was a concert that I wanted to see, but the tour didn't come to my state.

So I flew to New Mexico on Sunday morning, saw the show that night, and returned on Monday afternoon.

Gardening, grilling & enjoying the pool....

23. Yeah, we went to my dad's home. About 110 miles each way, but

also other driving added up to about 370 miles for the entire trip.

[pleah]

25. We did not take a trip this year. It would have been

1,600 miles (round trip) to visit most of the family. We just could not afford to do it this year.

[hack89]

26. Annual pilgrimage to a youth soccer tournament.

two hours drive.

[Sinistrous]

27. We drove approx. 350 mi (round trip) to visit relatives.

The week before, we drove 2,300 mi (round trip) to visit my son and his family. An insane trip, but I refuse to fly.
