On the Sunday, March 7th, 2021 edition of The Travel Guys… In the Travel News, Marriott is paying its employees to take the COVID vaccine, California theme parks are reopening - sort of, and you can now fly to Cancun non-stop from Sacramento. The man who is The King of Walking Tours of Times Square has a new virtual tour, a Broadway Pub Crawl. The next one is on St. Patrick's Day (fee for this activity). Owner Tim Dolan is on hand to tell us how we can join in. Our Smarter Traveler segment focuses on vaccine travel. The European Union appears poised to create some type of vaccine travel pass. Whether its a hard card you carry, or something electronic; it could make travel safer or more difficult, depending on your point of view. Plus, are Americans passing on spring break travel this year, waiting for more vaccinations? Randy Paragary is a Sacramento restaurant legend. Now he's ventured into the hotel business. The Fort Sutter Hotel has opened downtown and Randy joins us to talk hotels and restaurants during COVID.

On the Sunday, April 19th, 2020 edition of The Travel Guys… In the Travel News, most airlines are now guaranteeing an open middle seat, if you are flying to Canada you MUST wear a face mask and the Spy Museum is offering Spy Classes for kids online, perhaps the coolest idea in History!  Plus, we tell you about a host of virtual travel videos (find many of the links on the show list). Travel bargains will abound soon.  Will they be legit?  Will the property even be open by the time you get there (some hotels/resorts are not going to survive)?  We give you some hints on how to sort out the great values from the rip-offs. Restaurants have been hit hard by Covid-19.  Most workers are without a job, some have been hit by the virus itself.  Restaurants Care is trying to help their community.  We tell you how you can help as we are joined by the Executive Director of the California Restaurant Association, Alycia Harshfield. We close the show taking listener calls.  What is the number one destination on your Bucket List?  If you could go anywhere on the planet, where would it be?  Share with us, and if you get lucky, you might win a restaurant certificate you can use soon!
