Kevin McCullough and Linda Perillo kick off this Travel Tuesday with big news: their 2026 Italy trip is hotter than a Roman summer! With nearly 1,300 eager sign-ups, those coveted seats are disappearing faster than gelato on a July day. Eight days of bliss await—four in Rome, four along the Amalfi Coast, sprinkled with Pompeii and postcard-perfect stops like Positano and Capri.
Linda shares her own Italian plans for next summer, swooning over Venice, Florence, and Verona—the land of Romeo and Juliet. The duo gush about the magic of Italy’s “in-between” towns, proving that the real charm lies beyond the big cities.
Then, the conversation takes a festive detour to Cleveland, where fans of A Christmas Story can now book Ralphie’s house for a nostalgic holiday stay. Yes, the leg lamp is included! For $545 a night, you can live out your BB-gun dreams—soap not provided.
Travel tips roll in next: Kevin and Linda stress the importance of travel insurance (and give a shout-out to Medjet for emergency peace of mind). If you’re dropping thousands on a bucket-list trip, why gamble with fate? Protect your adventure like you’d protect a shiny new car.
Finally, they dive into Gen Z’s travel trends—think ultra-short 48-hour jaunts, nature escapes, and splurging on big-ticket events like FIFA and concerts. Solo travel is back, too.
Whether you’re chasing Amalfi sunsets or Cleveland nostalgia, this episode proves one thing: experiences beat stuff every time.
