*On the Sunday, April 23rd, 2017 edition of The Travel Guys…*

Nick Valenzuela shares the second half of his #Hash Tag Travel Report. Nick looked all over the state for great **Instagramable Spots.** He found a number of them and all of the photos can be found [here](https://www.instagram.com/hashtag_travel_report/?hl=en).

On The Travel Guys, we are always looking for something a little different to share. We think we found a blogger/author who specializes in them. **Chris Backe** (rhymes with "hockey") writes for [One Weird Globe](https://www.oneweirdglobe.com/) and he is on hand from Croatia to share with us some of the quirky things he has found. A museum about relationships that have failed? A Korean King who kept the most unusual family souvenirs and even a tour of Underground Seattle with an adult twist.

The story about United having a passenger drug from a plane two weeks ago is still in the news, and some things are changing because of that situation. Tom and Mark take a segment and talk about what to do if they ever tell you, "Yes you have a ticket. No, you cannot board the airplane." Our goal, **making you a smarter traveler.**
