On the Sunday, December 27th, 2020 edition of The Travel Guys… In the Travel News, we discuss how the border to Mexico is closed, but if you fly ABOVE the border, it's a different story....an interesting story for sure. How thousands of Americans are vacationing in Mexico. Favorite guest Ed Perkins is on board to discuss how and when he sees travel coming together.
