In the Travel News, we introduce you to a Chicago hotel with a $5 room rate and a $125 “resort fee,” and as part of our nation’s continuing program to “welcome” international visitors…sarcasm intended…fees at national parks will rise to ridiculous levels in 2026.
You can cruise the world in two very different ways. River and ocean-going cruises are both popular. We have some tips on mistakes to avoid when booking a river cruise.
Many of us are traveling during the holidays, which often means passing through multiple airports, sometimes with time to kill. We’ll tell you which airports in the country go all out on their holiday décor.
The show wraps up with two topics: A Door Dash survey tells us a little about the (good) health of Sacramento restaurants, and we even share a little insight about Door Dash’s “take” on your order. Plus, we discuss service (or the lack of it) in hotels these days. From the phone to the front desk, life has changed and don’t look for it to get better.
