Yet encouraging news comes from a new study released by AAA, predicting more people will travel dur1 1 ing Memorial Day Weekend than any time since the mid-?0- s. "More people are flying today than at any time since Sept. . Slowly but surely, people are getting back in the air." Nationwide, the number of Memorial Day vacationers is expected to reach 35.2 million, up from last year's mark of 34.9 million. AAA's survey finds 35 percent of people plan to sleep at a hotel or motel, while 34 percent expect to stay with family or friends. This year's preferred destinations: Townsrural areas: 29 percent; Mountains: 7 percent; Cities: 16 percent; Statenational parks: 6 percent; Oceansbeaches: 15 percent; Amusement parks: 3 percent; percent; Lakes: Other 13 percent. Tips for Motorists: Stop every two hours or 00 miles of travel to stretch your legs and take a quick break. Dress children comfortably, and bring small pillows and blankets for naps. 1 1 , ' AAA predicts more than 315,500 Utahns will travel at least 50 miles or more from home during the holiday weekend, up 1 percent from last year. "Any increase from last year, as small as it may be, is a huge boost for the travel industry's morale," said AAA spokeswoman Roylayne Fairclough. "Memorial Day Weekend is a key indicator of what we can expect for the summertime, so this is an encouraging sign of good things to come." Of those traveling, 255,8000, or 81 percent, will go by car, a 2 percent jump from last year. 'With a less than robust economy, it could be expected that the majority of travelers would go by car," Fairclough said. An estimated 44,200 Utahns expect to fly during the four-da- y holiday. This is a drop from the number of Utahns flying last year. "Though the number of air travelers is down, it's important to look at the big picture," Fairclough said. . 1 1 1 Bring plenty of bottled water, snacks and juices.
