Join Kelli and Anne for their 178th NEW episode!
They chat about their week in Provincetown for Anne’s show at the Crown & Anchor, how they have turned this into an annual family trip, plus all of the incredible shows, dinners and good times with friends they had that week. They also talk about how they have almost forgotten how to pack for an international trip, even though they have done it for a living for years!
They are so excited for the show today because it’s all about travel, live music and theater opening up. First they welcome Gabe Rizzi and Brent Rivard, travel experts from Internova Travel Group, to talk about what we can all expect as we all begin traveling again.
