Consumers are ready to travel after months of being told to stay home, and many want to go now. But they can’t always get what they want or the prices they expect, and travel advisors have the unpleasant task of delivering the news.
“Demand is really crazy right now,” said Lauren Cardinale, CTA, owner of Travel Design Co. in New Orleans. “I feel like we re real estate agents in a seller’s market: ‘Come to the table with cash in hand ready to purchase.’ If you wait, your room type or flight may be unavailable or may have increased several hundred dollars. We are watching inventory disappear in front of our eyes.”

Bibb County to buy ex-school that now hosts homeless shelter
April 22, 2021 GMT
MACON, Ga. (AP) A middle Georgia government plans to buy a former school that was rapidly turned into a homeless shelter after two men froze to death on Christmas.
WXGA-TV reported that Bibb County Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to use $1.5 million in federal coronavirus relief to buy the former Brookdale Elementary School from the Bibb County school district. It’s now being operated as the Brookdale Warming Center and officials intend to continue using it to help the homeless.
“We want to change lives and reach out and give some people a hand up and help them move on to be productive citizens. I think that’s what we’re doing. As an early skeptic, I’m in support of it and I will support it,” said Commissioner Mallory Jones.
