Despite economic uncertainty, Californians apparently are ready to hit the road over the upcoming holiday weekend.
A survey released Monday by AAA Northern California predicts an 11 percent increase in the number of Californians expected to travel over the Labor Day weekend, compared with last year.
AAA projected that more than 4 million Californians will travel 50 miles or more from their homes.
"Despite the continued mixed feelings regarding the economic recovery, a strong comeback in travel is anticipated for this holiday weekend," said AAA spokeswoman Cynthia Harris. "Compared to last year, fewer Californians are expected to pull back on discretionary spending, which will have a considerably positive impact on travel."
AAA expects that more than 3.5 million Californians will drive to reach their holiday destinations, an 11.6 percent increase over 2009. Read more: http://www.sacbee.com/2010/08/31/2993798/11-rise-forecast-in-californians.html#ixzz0yCMVnKTK
