Travel FOMO: Detroit, Disneyland and John's War Zone Wishlist
In this episode, our intrepid podcasters tackle the New York Times' "52 Places to Visit" list and discover they've collectively been to... approximately 10 of them 🌍 (Don't worry - they have opinions about the other 42 anyway! 😉)
Jim kicks things off with his scathing review of Netflix's "Virgin River" series 📺 (spoiler alert: he can "feel his brain cells dying"). Then the Gang dives into world travel aspirations, bucket lists, and the places they're actually planning to visit this year.
Along the way, we explore:
John's controversial take that Amsterdam is "just a village" with "no good restaurants" 🧀 (Dutch listeners, we apologize in advance)
Peggy's revelation that she almost joined Doctors Without Borders in Angola but skipped it for a wedding 🩺
The mysterious "amazing" Nebraska girls trip that has Shelley and Peggy suspiciously excited 🌽
Beth's travel philosophy: "There's no bad weather, just bad clothing" ☔️❄️
The eternal cruise debate: floating prison or genius invention? 🚢
Plus, Jim fantasizes about a cross-country road trip despite having never visited Colorado, the group debates Detroit's renaissance as America's next hot destination, and everyone becomes inexplicably obsessed with Northern Lights photos 🌌
Warning: This episode contains multiple instances of travel envy 🧳, at least one mention of Virgin River books written in crayon 📝, and John lying about no longer experiencing travel FOMO (we see right through you, John) 👀
P.S. We're pretty sure you'll add at least three places to your travel bucket list after listening. We're not responsible for any impulsive flight bookings that may follow. ✈️
Join us for an hour of wanderlust, wishful thinking, and wondering if we'll ever make it to all 52 places (spoiler: we won't) 🌟
