Are you not traveling this Memorial Weekend because of gas prices?

Are you staying at home due to gas prices this weekend? I keep hearing the media say people aren't traveling because of gas prices. I live in Neenah and a trip to Minneapolis is 566 miles round trip. I think that's a pretty lengthy travel for a weekend and most trips are quite a bit less.

If your car gets 20 mi/gallon that's 28.3 gallons used. With gas $1 more a gallon people are staying home for $28.30 vs. having fun with family and friends?

Is this true or is the media just trying to pitch a story that really isn't there? How about stay in a less expensive hotel, or maybe pack a lunch instead of eating out 1 night. Many options to choose over just not going. Life's too short, get out and have some fun.

I'd be interested to know if you or someone you know isn't traveling this weekend because of gas prices.

I hope everyone has a great Memorial Weekend and thank you to all those who have served.
