Vaxications
'Vaxications,' catch-up trips and pent-up demand fuel travel surge
From cruises to campsites, summer is already almost fully booked
By Harriet Baskas
A growing wave of relaxed restrictions, along with an increasing number of vaccinated Americans, is leading to a surge in “vaxications” and other trips, after a year of pandemic-induced lockdowns.
Mothballed restaurants, hotels and attractions, canceled cruise seasons and record low airline passenger traffic are making way for a brisk uptick in travel plans, with around half of Americans set to take a trip in the next three months, according to an analysis from the U.S. Travel Association.
“There is a substantial pent-up desire to travel. Families have not hugged or spent time together.”
Travel experts say anyone wishing to take a trip should be exercising caution, especially in light of the CDC's recommendation that travel be avoided where possible, even for passengers who are vaccinated.

Democrats' unemployment insurance plan passes on party line vote
Democrats' unemployment insurance plan passes on party line vote
After a nearly 12 hour stall, the Democratic unemployment insurance agreement passed on a party line vote of 50-49.
The amendment, passed by Democrats in the early hours of Saturday morning, superseded an earlier Republican victory on unemployment insurance.
Democrats came to an agreement on unemployment benefits after initially hitting a snag early in the marathon voting session on the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief legislation. Democrat Joe Manchin had threatened to unravel an agreement on how to handle jobless benefits in the package, but after eight hours of discussions, he agreed to a new proposal.
The Senate is currently evenly split between Democrats and Republicans.
