On the Saturday, October 4th edition of The Travel Guys, our first broadcast on Sactown Sports 1140…

In the Travel News, the government shutdown continues. We have an update on the TSA situation at Sacramento International and the entrance rules at Yosemite National Park. There’s a tentative re-opening date for for Hwy 1 near Big Sur and Carnival Cruise Lines has invented Sun Screen flavored ice cream. We aren’t kidding.
In our Smarter Traveler segment, we talk about rules from hosts of Airbnb properties. If you checked into a hotel room, there would be certain expectations of the condition you would leave your room in when your checked out. But some vacation rental properties are coming up with long lists of rules visitors must follow, or risk additional charges. So where do you draw the line?
Chris Elliott (www.elliott.org) joins us to talk about how mistakes by AI are messing with travel, the possible rollback in traveler rights and we ask the question, “are $900 credit cards worth it?”
Our Odds and Ends closer points out that many people are mispronouncing the name “Marriott.” It’s not “Marr-i-ott, it’s Marr-i-ett.” Did you know Robert Redford loved national parks, in part based on his visit to Yosemite at age 11? He also worked there summers during his high school years.
