- In the **Travel News**, Maui has joined Oahu in creating a program which insures travelers who enter restaurants, and other indoor venues, have proof of vaccination, either through a unique program on your phone or by presenting a vaccination card. The Queen Mary, which has been enjoying retirement in Long Beach for the past 50 or so years, may be done as a tourist attraction. Plus, United Airlines has made a major concession on ticket credits.
- The price of a cruise is often way more than what you paid before you boarded. The cruise lines have set up a gauntlet of ways to extract money from you. We'll talk about some of them and perhaps you can make your own plan to **cut the cruise lines profits** next time you sail.
- Mark says the travel industry has experienced an upswing in "I thought things would be better so I booked, **but now I want to cancel** at the last minute and not be charged anything" calls. He has some strong words for travelers who aren't big on taking responsibility for their decisions.
- In our final segment, we put on our entertainment hats as Tom interviews **MARC D'ANTONIO** who is featured in the **DISCOVERY+** show, "**SHOCK DOCS – ALIEN INVASION: HUDSON VALLEY**" (which began streaming on Monday, August 16th).
