Buckle up, wanderlusters! On this Travel Tuesday, Kevin McCullough and Linda Perillo kick off with the Memorial Day madness kids itching for Italian escapes while parents clutch their wallets. Kevin jokes about his kids’ jet-setting friends, while Linda reminds us that high-traffic holiday travel isn't always worth the gas or the grief. Pro tip: summer’s long—save your sanity and plan smart.

Linda and Kevin dive headfirst into the travel planning rabbit hole, sharing their personal experience of getting overwhelmed by fake listings and complicated logistics. Cue the hero: Perillo Tours’ custom travel arm, iVac, steps in with insider expertise and VIP hookups thanks to the family’s longstanding relationships in Europe. Think of it as a travel fairy godmother, without the glitter but with all the magic.

Then it’s myth-busting time! Kevin and Linda rip into a headline claiming global tourists are shunning American holidays. With classic banter and sharp skepticism, they unmask the real story: it's politics, not a passion drought for the U.S. Linda dishes journalism truths while Kevin talks data—NYC tourism is thriving, and revenge travel isn’t dead, it's just evolving.

Switching gears, the duo champions backyard adventures. Linda recounts a charming day trip to Wild West City in New Jersey—a dusty, delightful throwback with saloon shows, gold panning, and stagecoach rides. It's a rootin’ tootin’ good time for kids under 10, perfect for families on a budget looking to spark imaginations without boarding a plane.

They wrap with vacation planning wisdom: skip asking your kids what they want—you're the adult, plan like one! Whether you're aiming for Tuscany or the town next door, Kevin and Linda prove every adventure starts with curiosity, a bit of grit, and a well-packed bag. Happy trails!
