It may not be possible to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check in advance. When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be required to briefly lower it for ID purposes. Those who refuse to wear a mask may be denied entry or boarding. To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA officer. You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray screening. To reduce handling during screening, place items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on rather than into the bins. Separate any food you're carrying for X-ray scanning. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA officer to touch and inspect your belongings.

The room was perfect for just my husband and myself, but with my elderly mother in a wheelchair, the bed was too high, toilet was too low and wobbled. She slept on the couch, and it was so low we had to both help her off of it. The view we had the condo was awesome except for someone in a wheelchair😔

We had a wonderful stay overall. It would have been even better if greater attention had been given to environmental sustainability—for example, providing recycling options in the rooms and avoiding plastic straws, cups, and cutlery at the pool restaurant. Sanibel Island is a beautiful and fragile environment that deserves to be protected.
