Who travels the AAA way?

I enjoyed a good laugh this morning, long before I ever got to the Comics section of the Northwest Herald. So glad I get the print edition of the paper. It's a lot easier to read and clip for comments!

The average daily cost for meals and lodging for a traveler in 1950 was $13.00, according to AAA.

And in 2008? AAA recommended per-person "budgeting $80 a day for meals, not including tips or beverage, and $164 for lodging."

You've got to be kidding. If I had followed AAA's budget in 2008, I never would have left home!

Check out this masterpiece of words. "...people did cut back on their travel, and that did affect their decision to go on a trip."
