Americans are packing up and heading out of town over the long weekend that traditionally marks the end of summer. This year, hotel search trivago reports that San Francisco is the #1 most searched destination by US travelers over Labor Day Weekend. People are also headed to West Coast cities, Las Vegas and Los Angeles in big numbers -- taking the #3 and #4 spots on the list, respectively.

It is of little surprise that Orlando, FL is the second most popular destination this year, as Walt Disney World is traditionally a favorite Labor Day Weekend getaway for Americans. New York City came in at #5, followed by Atlanta, Chicago, Indianapolis, then Myrtle Beach. At spot #10, Atlantic City, NJ completes the list of most popular Labor Day destinations.
