Fuel up, labor up, interest rates up. Not just little amounts, way up. I know with my business travel which I am reducing this year hotels and everything has gone up, simple quick trips to Los Angeles from Portland Oregon get cost prohibitive. Used to be 18 times a year I would go, this year possibly four.

I know MJ and I have been paying more for our vacation travel but I have worked around dates and with a lot of flexibility we have done ok for airfare. Just sometimes have to get a bit creative.
