*On the Sunday, September 23rd, 2012 edition of The Travel Guys…*

This week on The Travel Guys, [Ed Perkins](http://www.smartertravel.com/travel-advice/edbio.php) tells you how to avoid bonus resort fees at hotels and how not to enrich cruise lines' bottom lines with your spending on board ship. Great information to make you a smarter traveler.

Steve LaRosa, Sacramento's Man About Town, has some great ideas for things to do that aren't far away and won't cost a fortune. Rocklin, Penryn and Loomis anyone?

Over the past couple of weeks, Mark has been discussing the level of service from TSA officers at Sacramento International Airport and he has an update on that situation and a developing story that seems to indicate our brand new airport is costing us air service. An update at 2:40.

Finally, our entertainment segment features a new guest, the [Sacramento Theatre Company](http://www.sactheatre.org). Starting with "The Miracle Worker" in two weeks, STC has a terrific line-up for the coming season and you'll hear all about it. Support the local arts community, see a live theatrical performance this week!
