The cost of living and food has gone way up in the past 2 years and this alone is going to have a impact on travelers, its slowed me down some and I am not even retired yet, I plan more trips closer now and bring more food to not eat out so much, wait till all these retirees start to die off than what.
Food has definetely gone up. Technology continues to get cheaper though. TV's computers etc. Looking at the graph above it looks like fuel is about the same as 7 years ago which kinda concurs with what we have seen at the pump. But even if it was a buck more per gallon, we use about 150 gallons to go from Canada to Palm Springs. 150 bucks wouldn't have much effect on the budget in the big scheme of things. I agree that food and campgrounds would have a greater effect than fuel....at this point anyway.
