Spring is here and Memorial Day won't be far away. Given the state of the economy and your own finances, what are the plans for this year likely to be: staycation, downsized trip, or something more or less in-line with pre-recession times?

In my case it'll probably be scaled back somewhat. I might be able to still go somewhere in North America with moderate wow-power on an award ticket, but would have to economize on land costs and possibly shorten length a bit.

Staycations are still a little radical.

Something with better resemblance to trips of days past might be Seoul/Mongolia using a KE award for the last part, or using *A NZ awards and possibly an LCC link or two to hop around the South Pacific.

I noticed the Arthur Frommer Budget Travel magazine had a cover story on dream destinations but positioned it all as something you could do SPENDING MILES. They don't want to appear clueless.
