Greg, are you getting more or less traffic w/ the recession?

Hey Greg,

I was wondering (pure curiosity) if you're getting more traffic or less with the current recession going on?
On one hand, there are great travel deals right now, and if you've got money saved up it's a great time to take advantage.
On the other hand, for many people it's hard to hold on to money right now so maybe travel's just not feasible.

So what's the trend?

Hey Vince,

Traffic is a bad indicator because it is so sporadic thanks to things like StumbleUpon, etc....but to answer your question, there is a lot more activity I see in email, etc thanks to so many people being laid off and becoming redundant on their jobs.  It seems that the economy has had the opposite affect - I love it!

I'd say it is deterring 2 week vacation types quite a bit more than the average glove trotter.

Cheers,
Greg
