*On the Sunday, June 12th, 2011 edition of The Travel Guys…*

Sunday's Travel Guys show is filled with "magic." Plus, there's a chance for you to win two tickets to see **Mary Poppins** this coming Tuesday night at the Community Center.

## Special Guests

Our first guest is Matt Poole. Matt has written a number of the Frommer's Travel Guides and is an expert on places to visit around northern California. He'll help you **Be a Smarter Traveler** by suggesting some "beat the heat" destinations for the summer. (Surely the heat will get here eventually.)

**Peter Pantuso**, President and CEO of the American Bus Association. Peter and Mark are old friends and we've asked Peter to join us to address some of the bus safety issues that have been in the news lately. Who inspects charter buses to insure their safety for the traveling public? Peter will explain how you can **Be a Smarter Traveler** when traveling the nation's highways by motorcoach (bus).

Finally, we mentioned magic, and magic we will have in the last segment of the show, when we are joined by Mary Poppins. Mary is actually **Stephanie Leigh**, who is playing the world's favorite nanny on stage in Sacramento. Stephanie is a most delightful lady, as you'll learn in our interview. Be sure to listen to find out how you can win two tickets to Tuesday show!

## Odds 'n Ends

Some of you may have heard the story of US Soldiers being forced to pay 200.00 in luggage fees on their way home from Afghanistan. Below is a link to the video the soldiers, themselves, created which sparked the controversy. Enjoy and let us know how you feel about the situation in the comments!
