On the Sunday, March 3rd, 2019 edition of The Travel Guys… In The Travel News, Mark has a cute story about a grandmother who posed for a picture on a small iceberg....which was grand, until...grandma floated away!

Clayton Whitehead, one of our Road Reporters, was a guest in January before he departed with a group on a cruise in Australia and New Zealand. It was a long flight and a long cruise.
