*On the Sunday, September 16th, 2012 edition of The Travel Guys…*

This week's edition of The Travel Guys includes an introduction to "[Trip Trotting](http://www.triptrotting.com/)," an on line service that connects you to local people when you travel. Find out how to meet people in far-away places through this unique service.

California casinos don't just take your money and run, they are part of the community. Rich Hoffman from Jackson Rancheria is on hand with an example of community spirit. Speaking of community spirit, our entertainment segment tells you about some wonderful concerts that are offered in our city for very reasonable prices. The [Sacramento Valley Chorus](http://www.sacramentovalleychorus.com/) is well worth your time and cultural arts dollars.

In our **Listener Talkback** section, Mark and Tom ask, "What are the things most frequently left behind in a hotel room by guests?," and "What are the world's happiest places?" We are talking countries, not Disneyland. Call in and you could be the winner of a Cheesesteak Factory dining card or an ARCO gas card, just for listening.
