More than 884,000 Georgians are expected to travel by land or air during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, a slight decline from 2009. According to the AAA Auto Club, national travel is projected to increase by 5.4 percent during the weekend, putting the expected number of travelers at 32.1 million, up from the 30.5 million who traveled last year. The Southeast, however, is only expected to increase by 0.2 percent and Georgia is predicted to have fewer travelers.Georgia’s decrease is attributed mostly to a decline in airline travel, Jessica Brady, manager for AAA public relations, said.
