Summer Vacation- shorten your trip?

I am curious about this topic both because of the spike in gas prices and because of climate change. Over the past 20 odd years, we have talked quite a bit about the need to reduce our use of gasoline for reasons of international politics, financial well being, and reducing output of the greenhouse gas Carbon Dioxide. But over this time perior the amount we burn has actually increased steadily up to this year. In the past year, I understand that there has been a tiny decline in gasoline use in the USA, a decrease of less than one percent.

Here is my question: have the concerns of climate change and gasoline costs convinced you to make any changes in your normal vacation plans? For example, have you decided to take a trip to an attraction only 300 miles from your home instead of one 800 miles from your home? Or do these twin concerns actually not count for much when you get down to your real world existence?

I should probably start the ball rolling by discussing our own family's plans. We may not actually drive anywhere for this year's vacation, because we have an elderly relative living with us who simply could not take care of herself for a week during our absence. So in our case, the gas prices and the climate change, while very real concerns, are trumped by another factor. It is likely unless something changes that we will vacation at home and take a few day trips that would burn less gas than one long trip.
