On the Saturday, February 19th, 2011 edition of The Travel Guys… It's no secret, we love to travel. But it would be a real shame to spend all our time uncovering the best that far-off destinations have to offer while overlooking some of the amazing attractions we have right here in California. Two such attractions that don't get near the attention they deserve are the Ramona Pageant and the "Taste of Pismo" at Pismo Beach. Both are a real treat, and we can't wait to share them with you! Speaking of local attractions, we have 3 sets of tickets to give away to local shows and events in the area. Tickets will be given out on-air, so be sure to listen in for your chance to win! The Ramona Pageant
This is a play like none you've seen before. The play takes place outdoors in the historic Ramona Bowl, allowing you to become fully immersed in the story as events unfold in all directions. Horses charge in from the left, gun fights to the right, dancing in front; it's really quite remarkable. Check out the 2011 Ramona Bowl official trailer over on their facebook page or learn more about the pageant at ramonabowl.com. Interested in the show but not the hassle? You can also join Sports Leisure Vacations on their annual trip to the Ramona Bowl at the end of April. A Taste of Pismo Beach

It's almost time for the 6th Annual "Taste of Pismo" celebration at Pismo Beach. If you're not already familiar with Pismo Beach, just think warm, sandy beaches, excellent food and a whole lotta fun. The celebration takes place on April 25 and brings all these things together with live entertainment, food tasting and wine samplings (lots of wine samplings!) It's a fun time each and every year, and we HIGHLY recommend you check it out! You can learn more about the Taste of Pismo at www.tasteofpismo.com or learn about how you can experience the Taste of Pismo celebration with Sports Leisure Vacations! Carnaval in Sacramento!
Arguably one of the biggest dance parties in the world, Carnaval is coming to Sacramento for the first time ever! The event takes place this Saturday, Feb 26th, starting at 8pm and features live entertainment, dance crews, Brazilian food and drinks. Tickets are $20.00 at the door, but save $5.00 by purchasing in advance.
On the Sunday, June 7th, 2015 edition of The Travel Guys… This week's edition of The Travel Guys features two fun and close to home destinations. Each summer, there is a
Shakespeare Theater Festival on the shores of Lake Tahoe. Two shows are offered this year, beginning in July. Romeo and Juliet is the Shakespeare half, while The Fantasticks fills the contemporary theater part of the season. Meanwhile, at Jack London State Park, just outside the Napa Valley, another outdoor summer entertainment opportunity presents itself. Catch a concert in the park! We'll update you on both with special guests in the back half of the show.
Ramona Goodge, one of our road reporters, joins live from Alaska, where she is on a Holland America cruise. However, she's not on the show to talk about Alaska but rather to tell us about Vancouver Island. That's the huge body of land just off the coast of British Columbia. It's home to Victoria, but Ramona's tour of the island in August isn't about the island's largest city, it's about Nanaimo, Duncan and Tofino, the last of which is on the Pacific Coast. Listen as Ramona tells you about a place we'll bet most of you have never visited, or even thought about visiting even though the west coast of Vancouver Island is truly one of the world's most beautiful places.
