re: Does it feel like travel is going back to what it was in the 1970s or 1980s?

We rarely left the state. Most years we would go spend a week at Bridge Side in Grand Isle. The farthest I traveled until I was an adult was Houston or Fort Walton.

We were solidly middle class when I was growing up, maybe even borderline upper middle class. I remember maybe 2-3 trips that weren't to Houston to go to Astroworld and catch a baseball game or to one of the Gulf Coast beaches. The first time I ever flew on an airplane was for SR trip.
Same. I’d love for it to get back to this. Some of you middle middle class/upper middle class know how to behave when you travel but sacrifices must be made.

the typical expectation was to take one major trip (say 1 - 2 weeks) and then maybe one minor trip (a long weekend trip or say 4 nights or less) a year.
I thought this was still the typical expectation?

Took a Continental Trailways bus from Baton Rouge to Los Angeles twice as a youngster. No way could I afford flying back then before deregulation.
