I'd probably make a shopping/dinner trip to KC or Topeka over the long weekend, but not this year.

Nope. I do the same thing every Memorial Day weekend: a 200-mile bike ride over 3 days.

you bet. I plan on logging about 20 miles for the whole weekend. I would imagine that summer travel will be pressed enough to effect demand..but will see. I struggle to understand how the boaters/jet ski folks can run up and down the lake all weekend at $4/gallon.

Even if I was in the States, I would probably do the same thing. Working around the house, playing with the boys, drinking some cold ones, and just relaxing in general. Oh yea, and doing whatever my wife tells me to do. Where I am now, won't change my plans at all - work, work and more work.

They should have asked if the price of food was going to affect anyone's BBQ/picnic plans.

Typically Memorial day isn't a day we travel much, just enjoy the day off and short work week that follows around the house

We're going to St. Louis and the tank has already been filled, but we'll have to top it off before we leave, but that shouldn't take much. We hardly drive during the week, just to pick up the kids from school. My husband fills our station wagon once a month and that gets him to work (while dropping the kids at school) and back. I run to the grocery store and run errands every Friday. That's just about all the driving we really do these days.

Not my memorial day plans, but it will affect our travel plans for the summer. For tournaments, we will definitely carpool, and leave family members at home to care for the pets.

One thing I figure I can do to alleviate the weekend fuel demand: Not mow my yard.

Excuse me, but am I the only one that actually celebrates Memorial Day in the cemetery? I thought that was the meaning of this holiday.
