They begin by talking about getting back to cruising again on a Celebrity ship that Anne was headline entertaining on. Some friends joined so they tell fun stories about playing 5 Crowns, lots of sushi dinners, ports that included Key West and Cozumel, meeting Judy Blume, LGBTQ meetups on board and Anne’s shows. They also laugh about Anne being recognized at the delta Club at Tampa Airport and flight delays that almost caused Anne to pee her pants!
Next, they start a new segment called Travel Hacks that came from an idea from their friend Eric. Every episode they will each give one of their favorite travel hacks. This week Kelli talks about travel power strips with international adapters and USB ports and Anne talk about tide pens and travel wrinkle release.
Next, they talk about the last week at home that started with Kelli having a lower back injury. After that they went to get a covid booster to prepare for their Africa trip which also led to getting an additional MMR vaccine as recommended by their pharmacist. Unfortunately, Anne’s Mom got very sick and had to go to the ER and eventually stay a night in the hospital. Luckily, they were home and were able to spend all those days with her at the hospital. Eventually she improved and was able to come home to their house and say for the next four nights to recover. She is now home and doing so much better.
They also talk about The White Lotus finale! If you haven’t watched it, they highly recommend it. They also get excited that their hometown of Nyack is again having street fairs! Anne also talks about her stress dreams about packing for Africa which is just around the corner!
After the break they answer some listener questions and topics. They start with their listener Raegan who always tells them what is being honored every month. April is National Brunch Month and she asked what their favorite brunch food is. She also mentioned that April is National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month and suggested they provide some resources. If you or anyone you know needs assistance or help, please reach out to RAINN.org or call the National Sexual Assault confidential hotline at 800-656-4673.

Nicole on IG asked if there is any location they have traveled to that they wouldn’t go back to and what their bucket list locations are.
