On the **Sunday, April 9th **edition of The Travel Guys…
In the Travel News, many National Parks are now requiring reservations to enter (see the link to the list on this page); and airfares are falling…and rising…at the same time. Why is that?
Tipping. It’s a hot topic not only with travelers, but with non-travelers. Every time we turn around, a screen is asking you if you would like to tip someone. Where do we draw the line? Tipping is the subject of our Smarter Traveler segment.
Richard Lewis has been heading up Sacramento theater for many years. The Music Circus is an icon in our community, along with Broadway Sacramento. Richard tells the stories of how his father started the Music Circus, how he used to help put up the tent every summer, and his progression to CEO. Now, it’s time for him to start backing away, and so it’s time to hear Richard’s story. It’s better than the story line for many a Broadway show, the story of a kid who grew up with the Music Circus. It’s one of our favorite interviews ever.
