After splurging on travel this summer, Americans are starting to cut back and take more vacations closer to home.

Americans aren't going to be setting a new travel record for Labor Day weekend like they did for July 4th and Memorial Day, according to an analysis of booking data released Monday by AAA.

"I don't think it's going to be a record," said Paula Twidale, senior vice president of AAA Travel.

Twidale said Americans are cutting back on trips abroad this year. International travel bookings are down 4% from last year for Thursday, August 29 thr
