*On the Sunday, September 30th, 2012 edition of The Travel Guys…*

This week on The Travel Guys, [Steve LaRosa joins us for a second week in a row](http://www.travelguysradio.com/2012/09/23/avoiding-cruise-resort-fees-little-known-local-treasures-and-the-miracle-worker/), this time to tell us about activities in the Amador County Wine Country. It's "crush" time for wineries and a particularly good time to visit.

Two weeks ago, we told you about "Trip Trotting," a way to meet local people and make new friends while traveling. We didn't have time for the interview then, so we'll introduce you to [www.triptrotting.com](http://www.triptrotting.com) this Sunday on the show.

Our entertainment segment features [Prelude to the Season](http://www.sacramento365.com/event/detail/441353304/Prelude_to_the_Season), an annual event which kicks off the cultural arts and theater season in our area. Michelle Alexander, of the Arts and Business Council, will tell you how you can get tickets for this special entertainment-filled luncheon, slated for October 12th.
