Vacation Travel
Costs on Increase
Rappahannock County families who will be taking vacation trips by automobile this summer will find that they need fatter pockerbooks than in in former years. The cost of everything is up. Hotel and motel rates are higher, food costs more, toll collections are more frequent and sales taxes are bigger in many areas. The findings are baaed upon a survey of vacation travel costs throughout the country, made by the American Automobile Association.
As a result, the figures show, a Rappahannock County couple will be spending approximately $39.50 a day this year, traveling modestly, or about $6 a day more .than in 1965. I That amount will take care of the necessities but not such extras as souvenirs, amusements and admissions to places of interest.
Thus, a two-week trip will cost a local couple a minimum of about $550. It assumes that they get 14 miles to the gallon of gas and thay they cover an average of 300 miles per day.
