SUMMARY: Thanksgiving Travel Seen Up a Bit

TALKING TURKEY: In its annual Thanksgiving travel forecast released Tuesday, AAA predicts 43.6 million Americans will travel at least 50 miles from home over the holiday.
    
TRAVEL WEARY: The auto club says the pent-up demand for travel seen following the recession appears to have dissipated. The predicted increase in travel this Thanksgiving is just 0.7 percent, compared with gains of 8 percent in 2010 and 6 percent a year ago.
    
ANOTHER HELPING: AAA says a stronger economy is needed to give travel demand a boost.
