The automobile club AAA says Thanksgiving travel is expected to drop in the region that includes the Dakotas.

Travel is expected to be down 2.6 percent from last year in AAA's West North Central Region, while nationwide it is expected to increase 1.4 percent.

Last year, travel during the holiday weekend dropped 25 percent nationwide in the wake of the housing and financial sector crises,
but only 9 percent in AAA's West North Central Region.

AAA spokesman Gene LaDoucer (luh-DOO'-sur) in Fargo says the
region was one of the last to feel the effects of the recession.
