*On the Sunday, April 23rd, 2023 edition of The Travel Guys…*

- In the **Travel News**, we tell you about an uninhabited island in Scotland that's for sale, and if you are headed to Maui, you will need advance reservations to visit one of the island's most popular natural attractions.
- As travel demand starts to level off a bit, and Covid is mostly behind us, many hotels in popular destinations are changing their refund policies to be a lot less friendly than in recent times. Mark warns travelers to beware in our **Smarter Traveler** segment.
- Each year, the travel industry holds a lobbying event on Capitol Hill in **Washington, DC**. Mark attended and shares why lobbying for travel is generally more accepted on "The Hill."
- Since Thursday, Mark has been traveling **Route 66** with a group of **Sports Leisure Travelers**. He offers some observations on places to see on the first part of the route, and tries to explain why this old highway is still so popular 97 years after its beginning.
