A guide to (safe) Summer vacations

Posted on June 29, 2020 by Dave Ashton

Are you planning on taking a Summer vacation?

AAA reports that Summer travel is expected to be down 15% this year…flights will be off 75% and cruises, train trips and bus excursions will be off 86%!

In fact, 97% of ALL the trips we take this Summer will be by car…it’s where we feel safest, trips will be shorter and gas prices are way down from last year.

If you are planning on taking a trip this Summer, the Today show has some advice on how to do it safely for you and your family.
