I'll bet you're right. Even if every governmental restriction in the nation were removed tomorrow, I think there would still be a very large part of the populace that wouldn't consider of any sort of leisure travel for several months at least. Beyond the health concerns are very serious financial worries for so many people. A Hawaiian holiday would seem more like a sick joke than a serious idea.
