almost touched the 30% level which remains elusive.
Theories/Observations:
1. Apparently the hurricane does not impact the number, OR it DOES, and the above captures some folks fleeing from Hurricane/Tropical Storm Isaias.
2. Last minute "lets get the summer trip in" stuff prior to return to school
3. Travel is coming back finally and this is the start of something new.
Fingers crossed for the week...

One positive is that in March it completely tanked. We then saw the positive trend, and reasonable expected to be over 1 million by mid July. Then the “surge” or whatever we would like to call it happened, and stalled all progress for the most part. BUT.. it didn’t put it back into the gutter. This is the “new normal” for now, and while it’s crap, it’s crap with sprinkles on it.

Vaccine news, (atleast from some news sources), and Covid fatigue will help.
Predict they will start to close in on 800k next week. It'll be interesting to see the 2019 Sept. numbers. I assume they are significantly lower than the 2.7 million we see in Summer. That should help the % YoY. It's all about how close we can get to 2019 numbers by next spring/summer.

Obvious indeed. Colorado seems to be an outlier though. Every time I go through Denver, it's pretty much slammed. Most likely due to connecting passengers though.

As for quarantines in Hawaii, a literal island in the middle of the ocean, maybe people will start booking to freedom states like Georgia for vacation.
