Millions of Americans are gearing up to head to the airport or hit the highway for the first long weekend of the summer.

“While some travelers embark on dream vacations and fly hundreds of miles across the country, many families just pack up the car and drive to the beach or take a road trip to visit friends. Long holiday weekends are ideal for travel because many people have an extra day off work and students are off from school.”

Ahead of Memorial Day weekend, AAA is giving travelers advice ahead of their potentially long trips to and across north central West Virginia.
