Creator's Key Takeaways

i've always said to people that if you want to travel this year you have to be adventurous you have to be flexible and you have to be patient

we've got two distinct um camps here we've got one one set of customers that are very excited that the masks are coming back

those that um don't want to wear the masks are pushing off some of their travel maybe to fourth quarter or into next year

delta is very much a bump in the road that i think uh hopefully we'll be putting in our rear view mirror pretty soon
