On the Sunday, August 19th, 2012 edition of The Travel Guys… Sunday on The Travel Guys we are joined by consumer reporter Ed Perkins of SmarterTravel.com, who talks about credit cards and car rentals. Will your card save you a ton of money? How do you avoid those high pressure car rental salespeople? Ed has some hints.
We are visited by a special lady, with a special mission. Carol Van Bruggen is the driving force behind the Africa Hope Fund. It is the result of falling in love with the people and the land on her first visit a dozen years ago. Carol tells us about the charity, its mission and about a special fund raiser coming up here in Sacramento next month, Safari on the River.
Finally, Mark walks us through catalog season at Sports Leisure Vacations, and gives his following a look at what will be in the pages of the new catalog when it premieres next Saturday at Tour Preview Day

Posted Sunday, July 29th, 2012 It's another great day on The Travel Guys as we're joined once again by Ed Perkins, consumer advocate for SmarterTravel to discuss some new consumer issues you should be aware of. Next, we've uncovered a unique fund raising project to save Jack London State Park. As some of you know, California is in the process of closing several of our parks in the coming years - causing some folks to find clever ways to keep their favorites from the chopping block. Finally, we have Jon Holloway from Holloway Travel Outfitters and Packinglight.net to bring us up to date on the latest in travel accessories. He's always got some great stuff for us, so we're excited to see what he's unearthed this time!
