In the Travel News, a new California law leads the way as a major cruise line changes the way it displays prices; and if you think trains are more crowded, Amtrak is on the way to setting all-time ridership records.
In our Smarter Traveler segment, we remind you it’s going to be crowded everywhere this summer, our own airport is one example. The Travel Guys strongly recommend NOT taking your vehicle to the airport, but rather using ride-sharing or depending on the kindness of a friend. Just allowing yourself a little extra time along the way could have a tremendous positive impact on your journey.
Steve LaRosa has been out on the road, and he shares some insights on a destination many of us visit but know little about: San Jose. If your getaway includes San Jose, we have some ideas for you.
In our** Odds and Ends** part of the show, we tell you about California’s newest State Park (Dos Rios, near Modesto). Also, there’s a new luggage disinfectant system for baggage at the Newark Airport, sort of like a car wash for luggage. Have you ever heard of such a thing?
