Fewer people on vacation this year

Went to the beach last week for the 4th. Normally I would avoid peak vacation period because it's so crowded but it was a pseudo family reunion. I was very surprised how few people there were. It was almost like vacationing during a school week.
Usually it's so busy that if you were to call to order a pizza between 3pm and 7pm, they would flat out tell you they weren't taking orders. It was so empty that we were able to get public parking for the cities annual firework show vs having to park on the median.
Anyone else take vacation last week and notice this or was this a one off and we just got lucky?

I think you got lucky. I went to lunch in Foley yesterday and 59 was backed up for miles south of I-10, as were many alternate roads. Wish I would've stayed home.

Lake Martin had the fewest people I’ve ever seen on the week of Independence Day.

Went to orange beach 2 weeks ago. Busiest I had ever seen it. Shoulder to shoulder in Publix on every aisle. Beach pool everywhere slammed with people. Way too many people.

It does seem our experience was anecdotal. Glad we were able to get a little peace and quiet.

Have you seen the condo prices? It’s way cheaper for me to spend two weeks in Europe thanks a week at Orange Beach.

I travel a lot for work now and every flight is full and every airport is absolutely packed with people.

This^^^. I was on four different flights in June and there wasn't an empty seat on any of them. Connected through St Louis on one of them, and it was wall to wall people in that airport. Many of these looked like casual travelers, too. Didn't appear to be work related.
