Expect a ‘huge surge in travel’ this holiday season, economist says

Travelers were able to enjoy lower airfare prices this summer, but with the holidays approaching, they should brace themselves for both higher prices and longer lines at the airport, one expert warned.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are two of the most traveled holidays on the calendar as people visit family and friends across the country. According to TSA checkpoint dataroughly 2.3 million people traveled the day before Thanksgiving in 2021 and around 2.1 million people did so the day before Christmas Eve.

“We’re expecting to see a huge surge in travel over this holiday season,” Hopper Lead Economist Hayley Berg said on Yahoo Finance Live (see video above).

In 2020, travel was extremely limited due to the severity of the coronavirus pandemic. While vaccines became readily available in 2021, the delta and omicron variants forced many travelers to scale back on their vacation plans over the holidays.

“We know that travelers

A tamale is a Spanish dish made in masa, or a corn husk. Casserole’s are an American tradition that gained popularity in the 1950’s. So, what the heck kind of a dinner is this?

The frankfurter is the closest thing in the title that matches the dish. We can blame my mom. She made up this dinner when I was little. Whenever mom threw together a dinner she would make up a name for it too. Who knows if that was to appease us kids, my dad, or maybe just her being creative. But, not only has this become a family favorite that spans multiple generations, every person we have ever made it for wants

Since moving into the RV and going Full-time, we have gotten to meet some of the most incredible people. It has also given us the chance to have some awesome experiences too. The latest of these; I had the opportunity to be a farmer for a day. Ok. Maybe it wasn’t a whole day. But it was for a few hours, and it was one of the most fascinating things I think I’ve ever done!

I’m aware that I’m from the “Garden State,” but that doesn’t mean that I grew up on a farm. I’ve visited plenty of them over the years. In fact, our son and I used to pick our own fresh vegetables every week. But I’ve never had the ability to actually work on a farm, let alone go for a ride on a Combine during harvest!

So how did this chance encounter happen? And what was

If you are wondering how T-Mobile is in Egypt, we are going to share our experiences with T-Mobile during our last visit to Egypt in August this year.

Nb: We purchased the International pass for this trip.

Is the T-Mobile International Pass worth it in Egypt?

Yes. T-Mobile worked well in some locations but roaming didn’t work at all in some.

Generally, most of the time roaming didn’t work as it had in all the countries that we had visited before and after our Egypt trip.

For instance, in Jordan and Israel, we never had any issues with T-Mobile coverage.

Some of the places where T-Mobile worked well in Egypt included:

  • On the Nile river.
  • Near Dahab and some other remote areas.

We experienced terrible service in Cairo. However, calls worked well compared to data.
