*On the Sunday, June 20th Father's Day edition of The Travel Guys…*

- In the **Travel News**, Southwest Airlines had a week of computer glitches and delays throughout their system, and since they aren't really saying why it happened, no one knows if the coming week will bring a repeat. National Parks are reporting long lines to get in, so make sure you know if you need a day pass, camping permit or whatever, because you don't want to be turned away. One of the "volunteer" cruises had a COVID infection, but they continued on without major problems. The governor of Florida wins a victory over the CDC. Cruise lines cannot require vaccinations. Is this a good thing?
- Our **Smarter Traveler** segment focuses on those who travel with life-saving medications and those needing wheelchair assistance at airports.
- The world's longest border has been closed for over a year and will remain that way until at least July 20th. Clayton Whitehead has an update on when we might be able to **go to Canada**.
- To round out the show, we take you to a preview of the **Mother Lode Fair in Tuolumne County** over the holiday weekend. Did you know there are lots of great hiking trails in that region? You will after you listen to the podcast!
