Join Kelli and Anne for their 178th NEW episode! They chat about their week in Provincetown for Anne's show at the Crown & Anchor, how they have turned this into an annual family trip, plus all of the incredible shows, dinners and good times with friends they had that week. They also talk about how they have almost forgotten how to pack for an international trip, even though they have done it for a living for years!    They are so excited for the show today because it's all about travel, live music and theater opening up. First they welcome Gabe Rizzi and Brent Rivard, travel experts from Internova Travel Group, to talk about what we can all expect as we all begin traveling again. Gabe Rizzi is President of Internova Travel Group, one of the world's largest travel services companies with 65,000 travel advisors in 6,000 locations in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, and a presence in more than 80 countries.

They talk about the difficulties in the past 18 months in the travel industry and how they have been able to bounce back. Gabe talks about current travel trends and the benefits of using a travel advisor to plan your travel. Brent then talks about their new cutting edge ad campaign, Go Human.
