- In the **Travel News**: COVID and travel are making a comeback at the same time. Can tourism prevail? Or are we destined to go back into hiding? We have a breakdown. Southwest Airlines offers an apology for a string of incidents which have left many people short of their destination in the past few weeks, and an airport piano player in Atlanta is the subject of a feel-good story.
- Our **Smarter Traveler** segment features a Letter to the Editor from **Christopher Elliott's** web site, gently suggesting why it's important to get the vaccination for COVID.
- Hilton Hotels is ending daily housekeeping at most brands. Do you care? Is it a plus or a minus not getting your room cleaned daily? The move is sure to save hotels a chunk of money. Wonder if that will trickle down to consumers.
- Lots of fun things to do in Mendocino County this summer and fall. We have a guest with a rundown of events, just in case you might want to check one or two out! [Click here for a complete list](https://travelguysradio.com/sites/default/files/2021/07/mendocino.pdf).
