On the Saturday, May 18th edition of The Travel Guys… 

In the Travel News, both TSA and AAA say the number of people traveling on Memorial Day Weekend will set a record; the Mirage is closing in Las Vegas and we tell you about a cruise ship that failed a CDC inspection.
The FAA reauthorization bill has made it through Congress, and with it come some long overdue passenger protections. We’ll review them and tell you about the goofy lawsuit a number of airlines to try and block them from taking effect. “After all, if consumers know the costs up front, how can they possibly be trusted to make an informed decision.”
Carnaval San Francisco is the largest and longest running cultural event in the country. We’ll tell you how you can be a part of it in the Mission District next weekend.
Susie Stocking and her group of dedicated volunteers continue to look after the veterans who make the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery their final resting place. Be a part of their annual golf tournament and support their efforts to decorate 35,000 graves at Christmas.
Our final story focuses on currency exchange when you travel outside the country and how to avoid onerous fees.
