Audio By Carbonatix

In this lively episode of Travel Tuesday, Kevin McCullough and Linda Perillo kick things off with a hilarious debate over the pronunciation of “Grazie,” diving into Italian dialects and cultural quirks. Kevin’s recent binge of Amanda Knox documentaries sparks a linguistic rabbit hole, and Linda, fluent in Italian, breaks down the nuances with flair.

The duo then shifts gears to Washington, DC, celebrating its recent crime-free streak and newfound safety. Kevin passionately advocates for family trips to the capital, praising the city’s transformation and encouraging listeners to explore its rich history without fear.

Next up: hurricane season. Linda dishes out seasoned advice on travel planning during stormy months, emphasizing the importance of quality insurance and the unpredictability of weather. She also introduces Medjet, a medical travel service that adds peace of mind to any trip.

They then explore the concept of “shoulder season,” the sweet spot between peak travel times. Linda shares how Italy’s fall tourism has evolved, with October now considered high season. The perks? Fewer crowds, pleasant weather, and—sorry kids—less noise.

Finally, the hosts wrap up with dreamy end-of-summer getaway ideas, spotlighting Cape May’s Congress Hall and its breezy cocktail hour. Linda adds insider tips on hidden gems and hotel booking challenges, while Kevin paints a picture of the perfect sunset sip.
