Eagle Island State Park Trip

With new safety guidelines to adhere to, travel looks a little different in this day and age. Here are some useful things to know before you pack your bags for Eagle Island State Park:

• Understand the restrictions and rules in both your origin and destination. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so be sure to check before you book.
• When you go through airport checkpoints, do not remove your face mask. You will be asked to lower it briefly for identification purposes. Anyone refusing to wear a face mask may be fined and denied entry.
• Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
• You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. This will need to be taken out for X-ray screening.
• Remove personal items from your pockets, like your wallet and phone, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
• If you want to take food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA agent will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.
