On the Saturday, January 22nd, 2011 edition of The Travel Guys… Welcome back to another exciting year of The Travel Guys! We've got quite an episode planned for today and we hope you enjoy it as much as we have. First, we'll be hearing from Mark about a recent trip to Key West, FL, where he enjoyed the sunshine and sunsets for 10 days with fellow Sports Leisure Travelers. Next, Clayton Whitehead tunes in to introduce us to one of his favorite places in the world. Finally, we'll be checking in back home with your weekly Sacramento update from Arts & Business Council representative Michelle and an exciting silent film opportunity from Cecil.
Today's episode is brought to you by traveloregon.com, you're one-stop-shop for everything you need to know about visiting the exciting state of Oregon. If you're a long-time listener of The Travel Guys, you already know that Oregon holds a special place in Mark's heart. We highly recommend it makes the top of your bucket-list this year!
Coming Up in Sacramento...
This is a new addition to the Travel Guys, and one we're hoping to bring back every week. We live in a great city, surrounded by some pretty amazing attractions that people from all over the country enjoy traveling to. I think it's high time we start enjoying them a bit more, ourselves. To that end, Michelle from the Arts & Business Council has offered to introduce us to just a few of the local attractions going on this upcoming week! We're thrilled to have Michelle as a part of our show and can't wait to hear what she has to share!
For more information on the Arts & Business Council, you can visit them online at www.sacabc.com. Also worth a look is this site dedicated to things to do in Sacramento: www.sac365.com. This is an excellent resource for upcoming shows, events or local attractions!
Sacramento French Film Festival
This is not your typical silent film show. The folks over at the Sacramento French Film Festival (SFFF) have really outdone themselves this time, and we can't wait to share what they have in store on-air. For more information on the Festival, check out their website at www.sacramentofrenchfilmfestival.org or click here for more info on the 2011 French Film Festival here in Sacramento.

Butterflies, Sunsets and Drag in Key West, FL
Key West doesn't often make it onto the bucket list of many Californians, and we feel it's about time that changed. As Florida's paradise, Key West offers an experience you'll find no-where else. Key West Butterfly Conservatory One Human Family

Savannah, GA with Clayton Whitehead
Road Reporter Clayton Whitehead is currently on his yearly sabbatical in Savannah, GA; where he'll be taking the day off to introduce us to this real southern treat! Savannah is one of Clayton's favorite places on the planet, so he's sure to have quite a few stories and local attractions to share! My guess is that a few of those stories probably involve a cocktail or two...
Posted Thursday, January 20th, 2011 Welcome back to an exciting new year of The Travel Guys! We’re thrilled to be back, and even more excited to introduce you to our first episode of the year. Things are changing a bit around here, so we’re going to be taking the first few minutes of the show to introduce you to our new format. Then, in true Travel Guys fashion, we’ll be jetting off to Key West, Florida, where Mark has been playing host to a group of travelers for the past week. For those of you unfamiliar with Key West, think amazing weather, butterflies and some of the most gorgeous sunsets in the world. There are a few other surprises you should think about as well…but we’ll save those for the show!
Once we’ve had our fill of Florida’s tropical paradise, we’ll hit the road yet again to visit Clayton Whitehead over in Savannah. Clayton is currently enjoying his yearly month long sabbatical, but he’ll be taking a day off to introduce us to one of his favorite places in the world. It’s sure to be a real southern treat!
Whew, that’s a lot of traveling for one day.
We’ll close up the hour by returning to Sacramento to check in with Michelle from the Arts & Business Council to tell us about a few interesting things coming up in Sacramento this week. Also joining us in studio will be Cecil from the Sacramento French Film Festival to talk about a new silent film coming to the area. This is an event like we’ve never seen before, and we’re really excited to have it here in Sacramento!
All this and more on this week’s episode of The Travel Guys!
Posted Tuesday, January 11th, 2011 We may not have been on the air for the past couple weeks, but we certainly weren’t taking a vacation! The Travel Guys are back for 2011 and better than ever! So What’s Changing?
Everything…and nothing. We’ll still be whisking you away to some of our favorite far off destinations with road reporters, exclusive interviews and special reports. We’ll also still be bringing you the relevant and interesting travel news you’ve come to expect. In that regard, we’re still The Travel Guys you’ve come to know.
Instead of changing, we’re adding. Adding more episodes, The Travel Guys are now on EVERY Sunday on KFBK AM 1530 from 2-3pm. Notice the time? That’s another change…we’ll be on the air at a more convenient, later time. So what are we going to do with all that extra airtime? In addition to far off destinations, we’ll also be bringing you a heaping dose of local attractions and entertainment. Sacramento is home to, and surrounded by, a wide variety of excellent destinations that, in our opinion, really don’t get enough attention. We’re looking to change that.
So whether you’re looking to explore exciting new frontiers or just take a peek in your own backyard, we have the show for you! Here’s looking to 2011
2010 was an exciting year for The Travel Guys. We brought you all the way to New York for an interview with Arthur Frommer and over to Mackinac Island for some horse-drawn fun. We traveled across the country on the Lincoln Highway and back along Route 66. We hit a few islands, and even brought one lucky traveler along with us.
Oh yes, 2010 was quite a year.
We’re hoping you’ll join us for 2011, as we strive to become not just your Travel Guys, but hopefully you’re Travel and Entertainment Guys! Our first episode of the year airs Sunday, January 23rd at 2pm on AM 1530 KFBK.
Posted Thursday, December 30th, 2010 That is to say, we’re currently on vacation! Check back next week for more info on exciting upcoming episodes and things to come!
In the meantime, check out these great old airline commercials we stumbled across. My, how times have changed!
