This episode of Travel Tuesday with Kevin McCullough and Linda Perillo kicks off with an unexpected detour: a sobering Hollywood story about Rob Reiner’s son and the tragic consequences of broken family dynamics. The hosts reflect on the importance of parenting, boundaries, and relationships—because no amount of fame or fortune can replace a healthy home life.
From there, the conversation pivots to a lighter but equally revealing topic: testing relationship compatibility through travel. Linda and Kevin debate whether hitting the road together is the ultimate stress test for couples. They explore how vacations expose quirks, temperaments, and teamwork skills—because nothing says “true love” like a canceled flight and a shared bathroom.
The duo then champions family travel as a lifelong learning experience. From navigating airports to absorbing new cultures, they argue that every age offers unique opportunities for growth. Their anecdotes—from Fifth Avenue brunches to Italian adventures—underscore how travel shapes confidence, courtesy, and cherished memories.
Holiday cheer takes center stage next with a countdown of the best U.S. zoos for Christmas light displays. Spoiler alert: Ohio steals the spotlight with millions of twinkling bulbs, while the Bronx Zoo shockingly misses the list. The hosts sprinkle humor throughout, poking fun at Detroit’s “measly” million lights and the Griswold-level enthusiasm of suburban decorators.
Finally, Kevin and Linda wrap up with practical travel intel: the most and least reliable airlines and airports during peak holiday season. From United’s solid performance to JetBlue’s disappointing stats, they dish out tips with a wink and a laugh—because even when travel gets messy, the adventure is worth it.
