On the Sunday, April 9th, 2023 edition of The Travel Guys… In the Travel News, many National Parks are now requiring reservations to enter (see the link to the list on this page); and airfares are falling...and rising...at the same time. Why is that? Tipping. It's a hot topic not only with travelers, but with non-travelers. Every time we turn around, a screen is asking you if you would like to tip someone. Where do we draw the line? Tipping is the subject of our Smarter Traveler segment. Richard Lewis has been heading up Sacramento theater for many years. The Music Circus is an icon in our community, along with Broadway Sacramento. Richard tells the stories of how his father started the Music Circus, how he used to help put up the tent every summer, and his progression to CEO. Now, it's time for him to start backing away, and so it's time to hear Richard's story. It's better than the story line for many a Broadway show, the story of a kid who grew up with the Music Circus. It's one of our favorite interviews ever.
On the Sunday, October 31st, 2021 edition of The Travel Guys… In the Travel News, a lawsuit reveals just how much Marriott is making on "resort/destination" fees. Hint: It's in the tens of millions annually. American Airlines is the latest melt down, canceling over a thousand flights this weekend alone; and passport wait times are starting to get shorter. Theater in Sacramento has been on hiatus due to COVID issues, but now it's back. Hamilton had a successful run, and An Officer and A Gentleman premiers next week. Richard Lewis of Broadway Sacramento joins us to talk about his new digs, how Hamilton went and what's on tap. As our city becomes more noticed in the culinary world, lots of great new things are happening around Sacramento, including our city making Wallet Hub's list of Foodie Cities at number SIX. How did that happen? It's all very scientific.
On the Sunday, May 17th, 2020 edition of The Travel Guys… In the Travel News, the Department of Transportation reports complaints against airlines have skyrocketed (maybe something to do with offering people vouchers instead of refunds); restaurants are getting very creative in a post-stay-at-home world and the Grand Canyon reopens on a limited basis... Mark renews a segment from his first radio life (sports talk in the 90's) called Just One Man's Opinion, and weighs in on cruise ships who flag themselves in other countries to avoid taxes and regulation, then come crying home of our government when something like COVID happens.  Plus, we make you a Smarter Traveler by talking about the importance of checking on what's open and what's not before setting out on your next trip. Richard Lewis, President and CEO of Broadway Sacramento, is our guest.  Richard's father was one of two partners in the original Music Circusway back in 1951.  As performances are canceled and we see a summer without Music Circus, we talk to Richard about what comes next.  It is a true Sacramento story, and we give Richard plenty of time to share it with you.
