AAA: Florida Fourth Of July Weekend Road Trips Expected To Be At Record Levels
July 2, 2022
AAA is predicting AAA predicts 2.6 million Floridians will travel 50 miles or more during the Independence Day holiday weekend (June 30 – July 4). That’s 4% more than last year’s holiday, and just shy of 2019’s numbers.
AAA forecasts 2.3 million Flordians will take a holiday road trip – the most on record, dating back to 2001.
“The volume of travelers expected over Independence Day is a definite sign that summer travel is kicking into high gear,” said Debbie Haas, vice president of Travel for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Earlier this year, we started seeing the demand for travel increase and it’s not tapering off. People are ready for a break and despite things costing more, they are finding ways to still take that much needed vacation.”

Farm Bureau: July 4th Cookout Costs Soar Over Last Year

I don’t expect William to approve this, but let’s also report the average July 4th cookout is more than 15% higher than last year. No need to selectively approve numbers to falsely indicate Biden is improving the economy. It’s only right to report this year’s cookout expenses over last year since the Biden administration was so proud in exclaiming its 16¢ (yes, cents, not percentage) decrease a year ago.
