Marylanders will begin heading for the exits this weekend, kicking off the traditional trek to somewhere else to gorge on food and fellowship. While there will be a lot of travelers on the rails and in the skies, a AAA Mid-Atlantic survey to be released Friday indicates that most Maryland residents with travel plans — 91 percent — will be going by car.
About 883,000 travelers — or roughly one in six residents — are going somewhere for the holiday, according to the survey. That's still below pre-recession levels but a slight increase over last year, as travel has rebounded incrementally since 2008. This year most are driving, another 7 percent are flying and 2 percent will be relying on train, bus or ship.
