AAA forecasts a strong rebound in holiday travelers this Thanksgiving.  State AAA spokesman Nick Jarmusz says more than 53.4 million people are expected to travel, including nearly a million Wisconsinites, the highest single-year increase since 2005.  Jarmusz says in Wisconsin total travel figures are only eight percent below pre-pandemic levels.  Gas prices surged in October and are likely to remain elevated through the holiday season.  Thanksgiving gas prices haven’t been this high since 2014.
