Labor day is near - but you can still take a road trip!

Submitted by Wanderlust Andi

According to AAA, gas prices are at their lowest levels since 2004: more that eighty cents a gallon less than the same time last year. While Labor Day is usually more of a “staycation” holiday for most, AAA and the Institute for Highway Safety estimated that, last year, 34.7 million travelers took trips of more than 50 miles - and 86% of those trips were by car. This year looks like it is going in the same direction!

So - this is the year to take one of those exciting road trips, given the low price of gas. You can till find great deals - especially in:

Orlando, Florida
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
San Diego, California
Toronto, Ontario Canada
Gatlinburg, Tennessee

So yes- the Labor Day weekend is just around the corner. But - all you have to do is get in the car - and go!

One important tip: use a more secure card, with an embedded chip.
