I had to drive someone back to Fayetteville, NC, last night (Labor Day), and noticed the traffic on Interstate 95 to be moderate to light. North Carolina's governor had asked many people to stay off the road if not necessary this weekend to help conserve gas. And it seemed to work.
Someone also said that many people cancelled plans for the holiday, because they either felt guilty or wanted to give the funds that they would have spent traveling, to the Red Cross instead.
I just wondered if anyone here changed their Labor Day weekend plans this past weekend as a result of either the possible gas shortage, price increases, or a desire to give to the disaster relief; or either because you did not feel like having fun while so many suffered...
As for me, I was thinking about going to WDW next weekend for the Night of Joy, but I was probably not going anyway... but now I am pretty certainly not going. Mostly due to the gas prices in combination with the thought that I could give that money to the disaster relief, especially since I know a pastor friend who is going with a group that is very efficient in giving out food and water and provides shower facilities. (http://www.vbmb.org/uploads/press/PR-Katrina-090205-1.pdf) I plan to give to them anyway, but things like that give me pause about going to WDW next week...
But I digress. Did anyone change their Labor Day weekend plans?
