In this lively episode of Travel Tuesday, Kevin and Linda kick things off with a fiery take on the recent government shutdown and its ripple effects on travel. From yoga class gripes to runway horror stories, they vent about delays, cancellations, and the unsung heroes of aviation—air traffic controllers. Linda passionately defends their role, ranking them just below pilots in importance, and the duo shares tips for navigating flight cancellations like seasoned pros.
The conversation then jets off to Europe, where Linda reveals a newly discovered underground VIP tunnel beneath Rome’s Colosseum—built for Emperor Commodus and now open to the public. Kevin and Linda riff on ancient Roman drama, gladiator games, and thumbs-up/thumbs-down confusion, all with their signature banter. They also tease their upcoming Italy trip in 2026, promising travelers a firsthand look at these historic marvels.
Next stop: Christmas markets! The hosts gush over festive favorites from Switzerland to Singapore, with special shoutouts to Florence, Prague, and Edinburgh. Kevin’s heart lights up at the mere mention of holiday stalls and hot chocolate, while Linda dreams of skipping the six-year waitlist for Florence’s top restaurant. It’s a whirlwind tour of yuletide magic, European charm, and travel bucket lists.
Things take a quirky turn when Paris enters the chat—not for romance, but for a cemetery lottery. That’s right, you could win a burial plot next to Oscar Wilde or Jim Morrison. Kevin and Linda hilariously debate the appeal of posthumous celebrity neighbors, with Linda joking about Ouija boards and Kevin opting for eternal peace over Parisian prestige.
The episode wraps with heartfelt thanks to Medjet, a travel safety service that rescued a missionary during a medical emergency abroad. Kevin shares a touching testimonial and encourages listeners to consider Medjet for peace of mind. With laughs, history, and holiday cheer, this episode is a passport to adventure—and maybe even the afterlife.
