*On the Sunday, May 23rd, 2021 edition of The Travel Guys…*

- Mark is live from Oracle Park in San Francisco, Tom is in studio in Sacramento.
- In the **Travel News**, Spain says if you’ve been vaccinated, welcome; as we predicted last week, at least half of the Alaska cruise season has been salvaged, and the Canadian and Mexican borders remain closed for another month - but there's a glimmer of hope.
- In our **Smarter Traveler** segment, we tell you which hotel chains have dropped mask requirements and/or enforcement, and which ones still want you protecting yourself and other guests. Mark relates being a part of a freak snow storm in **Virginia City** this week and how you need to be prepared for unusual weather when you are traveling.
- In a recent interview, **Chris Elliott's** advocacy firm got an "F" from the Better Business Bureau. Chris has the story and it's a good one. (replay)
- Tom had the chance to talk with **Jesse Colin Young**, a rocker from not so long ago, in an Entertainment Guys feature. (replay)
