Most American travelers have not even gotten to ten states

Some travel trends you may not have noted:

• More than one-third of Americans have traveled to fewer than ten states in their entire lifetimes.

• But most (almost two thirds) have visited Florida, while more than half have also gone to California and New York, according to Greyhound.

• More than half of Americans say they have less money for vacations in 2008 then they did last year.

• More than two-thirds say, however, that gas prices will not affect their plans (source: AOL/Zogby Travel Survey).

• Social media continues to grow in importance. In a recent study 48% of travelers read user reviews for hotels and lodging before booking their stay, according to AOL/Zogby.
