Memorial Weekend – In the North GA Mountains!
May 23, 2011
Greetings, Friends of Enota!
Today we will talk about last-minute plans for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. There’s still time to plan a GREAT time!
When is Memorial Day?
In the United States Memorial Day is always observed on the last Monday on May. This year, Memorial Day will be May 30th.
Memorial Day also is the unofficial start of the summer travel season. It is often the first day for public swimming pols to open, etc., with Labor Day being the unofficial end of that same season.
While the holiday honors members of the military who died in service to their country, it has also become a time for family gatherings, with an emphasis on outdoor activities – cookouts, camping, hiking, swimming.

What About Traveling this
Memorial Day Weekend?
Per an Associated Press article on the AAA website, the following article was posted about Americans travelling this year on Memorial Day:
DENVER (AP) — More Americans are ready to travel for Memorial Day but high gas prices and airfares will force them to cut back on activities like dining and gambling.
That’s the forecast from AAA. The auto club predicts that nearly 35 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more over the long holiday weekend.
That’s slightly more people than a year ago but less than the 35.3 million who traveled over Memorial Day in 2007 before the recession.
The auto club says 30.9 million people will travel by car and nearly 3 million by air.
