[May 25, 2007]  (AP) This is getaway day for what's looked at as the unofficial start of summer. Millions of people will be climbing into their cars or getting on airplanes for the Memorial Day weekend.

Gas prices are high: averaging $3.23 a gallon. But that's not expected to keep people from traveling. AAA says it thinks people will still take their summer vacations but will try to spend less on hotels and restaurants.

So what would make people change their plans? A recent Washington Post-ABC News poll found that gasoline would have to reach $4.38 a gallon before Americans would significantly cut back on their driving.
