For car trips only, or does the advice include air travel as well? ---

Here’s a cite for the CDC recommendations: > **[Vaccinated Americans are at low risk while traveling but must still wear...](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/02/science/cdc-travel-vaccinated.html)** > > They must continue to take precautions like wearing a mask in public, avoiding crowds, maintaining social distancing and washing hands frequently, federal health officials said on Friday. ---

Here’s the actual CDC page on point (although the preview doesn’t look like it, that is the correct page: > **[COVID-19 and Travel](https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/travel-during-covid19.html)** > > CDC travel recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic. ---

My wife and I will have both had our shots by May 4. We’re planning to fly down to FL to see her dad for Father’s Day. Neither of us has traveled since early February 2020. And we’ve booked a vacation for August, back to our favorite beach house on Anna Maria Island in FL. Last year was the only year since 2009 that we hadn’t spent a week there. ---

I just flew to & from Las Vegas. We carried a full boat both ways. The airport was crowded at midnight. The streets and casinos were crowded during the day. Recreational air travel is back. So is Vegas. I think the Vegas crowd was younger and less Chinese than it was pre-COVID. But of you’re a college person on spring break or a 30-something dragging 2 or 3 kids, you’re out traveling right now. Whether you should be out traveling is another question.
