Numbers are down for Labor Day travel
According to AAA Colorado , 31.5 million Americans will travel this Labor Day, which is a decrease of 2.4 percent from 2010. AAA Colorado also projects that 2.4 million Colorado and Mountain Region residents (Colorado, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah and Wyoming) will take a trip at least 50 miles away from home. Weekend holiday travel across the board has been decreasing since 2010, including decreases for Memorial Day travel and Independence Day.
So how are they getting to their destination? 27.3 million travelers will hit the highway whereas 2.5 million will fly. The average roundtrip flight is close to $202 per person at the moment, and that’s staying within the U.S and going to a top 40 location. International travel has not been popular for holiday weekends this year. Most international top destinations have not made it on anyone’s top Labor Day destination list.
Orbitz also released their top ten destinations for the holiday weekend and none are international locations. Denver did make Orbitz’s list and placed fourth with an average airfare of $310, an average daily hotel rate of $90 and was placed fifth in 2010. So if you don't plan on traveling it's a great excuse to have your friends fly to you as Denver has the lowest hotel rate by Orbitz. New York seems to be on everyone’s mind as it came in first both years, but this year’s average airfare is $329 and the average hotel room is $229/night.
Spending on the trip will double this year as travelers expect to pay $694 for a vacation compared to $348 that was spent last year. The DOT’s new laws concerning airlines and their passenger’s rights could have a last minute impact on Labor Day travel and help bolster international travel at the beginning of September. Does the rising cost of flight travel or gas prices affect your Labor Day plans?

ISKCON Las Vegas participates in Nevada's first India's - Dandavats
By Krishna-mayi Devi Dasi
On Saturday, August 20, 2011, Friends of India, Las Vegas hosted the inaugural India Independence Day parade and celebration on the historic Water Street in downtown Henderson, Nevada to mark the 64th anniversary of India’s independence.
Appreciating the influence of ISKCON in preserving Indian spiritual culture and traditions, Friends of India, Las Vegas invited Govinda’s Center / ISKCON Las Vegas to participate in the festivities. We happily accepted this invitation as an opportunity to bestow Lord Caitanya’s mercy on the very needy souls in Las Vegas.
The fun-filled night began with a parade tribute to the Motherland that included more than 40 entries including traditional Jhankis (floats). Govinda’s was nearly last of all entries in the parade, and with this great fortune we were able to close the parade with our sweet Harinama. The faces of blissful devotees marked with the Vaisnava tilaks shines brightly in the evening light. Carrying a bright yellow banner (with a short description of our activities and the sweet images of Lord Krishna) bordered with yellow smiley face balloons, we filled the atmosphere with a lively chanting of Krishna’s holy names. The matajis were beautifully dressed in colorful saris and decorated with vibrant garlands.
We delivered a genuine joy and excitement to the spectators! The crowd welcomed us joyfully as they clapped their hands and danced to the sweet tunes of the Hare Krishna maha mantra during our blissful performance of Harinama on the main street of downtown Henderson. One of our dear friends who watched the entire parade commented: “The beginning of parade was kind of quiet and boring, but when you guys came, you lifted the whole atmosphere and created the joyful mood. Your chanting was great!”
We all felt so blissful and very grateful to our beloved Lord Sri Krishna for giving us this amazing opportunity to glorify Him just a day before His Appearance Day.
