We travel a fair bit of course, and my "eyeballs" tell me the US economy is doing pretty well. I've lived through some rough recessions, particularly 2008-9 and 1980-1982 and 1974, one could pretty readily notice the downturn in economic activity. Travel was way off of course. Business would run unusual specials to drum up business. And of course a lot of mom and pop operations just went under.
I'm not seeing that today, at all, just the opposite. Travel especially continues at a high level, higher than "usual" in my observations.
