This year is certainly flying by fast.
It seems like only yesterday (January, to be exact) that I was in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas wandering around the Fort Worth Stockyards, John Wayne: An American Experience, the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza and Southfork Ranch.
Now, Memorial Day is looming just weeks away.
I don't plan on going anywhere on Memorial Day weekend. I will stick around home and avoid the crowds. There's plenty here to do, including roaming around nearby Cibola National Forest in my Jeep.
It looks like Memorial Day weekend will be rebounding from last year's dismal numbers.
According to WKTN Radio:
COLUMBUS, Ohio (May 11, 2021)—AAA Travel expects a significant rebound in travel this Memorial Day holiday weekend. From May 27-31, more than 37 million Americans (nearly 1.7 million Ohioans) are expected to travel 50 miles or more from home. That’s an increase of 60% nationally (nearly 57% in Ohio) from last year when only 23 million Americans (just over 900,000 Ohioans) traveled, the lowest on record since AAA began recording in 2000.
The expected strong increase from last year’s holiday, which fell during the early phase of the pandemic, still represents 13%—or nearly 6 million—fewer travelers than in 2019 nationally. In Ohio, travel is expected to be nearly 14%, or about 229,000 travelers, below 2019 numbers.
