Ep. 50: the great, big summer travel episode!

For our 50th episode of Austin360’s “I Love You So Much” podcast, we’re going places. In this special travel episode, we talked to some of our travel expert friends and colleagues about staycations, affordable excursions and nearby adventures for adrenaline junkies. Statesman travel editor Kristin Finan joins in to talk trips that get you the most bang for your buck: creative day trips from Austin, Texas beaches post-Hurricane Harvey and even a new obstacle course on Lake Travis. Travel writer Helen Anders discusses hotels vs. Airbnb and tells us what's the deal with Frontier Airlines. Austin360 fitness reporter Pam Leblanc gives you options for trips to take it from merely eyebrow-raising to heart-pounding to satisfy your thirst for adventure this summer. In a quiz with Statesman media editor Gary Dinges, we talk direct flights from Austin and see how well Gary knows how to (quickly and efficiently) get out of town. And in a travel-themed "A Toast," we recommend destinations Denver, Santa Fe and the Back Porch in Wimberley. Plus hear about a free happy hour we're hosting Aug. 1 at Indian Roller!
