Expecting airport security checkpoints nationwide to be busy during Thanksgiving, the Transportation Security Administration says it is prepared to handle the increase in passenger volume for the holiday. 

Kauai's original hotel bubble involving several island resorts for COVID-19 safety has been put to the side after Gov. David Ige’s announced this week that as of Oct. 15 Hawaii will start admitting trans-Pacific travelers who record one negative COVID-19 test within three days of arrival, eliminating the need for resort bubbles. However, at least two high-end Kauai resorts will move ahead with establishing themselves as “bubble” hotels despite the Governor's decision.

It’s closer than you think. Yes, it may only be the end of September, but as summer gives way to fall, millions of people across the US are beginning to make their travel plans for the holiday season.
