00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: like TV Travel hosts Samantha Brown on the one thing

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: in every hotel room that she says is so overlooked

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: but can be used in so many different ways, the

10
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: ironing board. I mean, it sits in the closet, it

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: never comes out, no one wants to use it. But

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: here's where it's really amazing. We always run out of

13
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: counter space when we're in a hotel, and it's four

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: ft of counter space. A lot of people now are

15
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: working at desks standing right, standing desks is the new trend.

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: It's a standing desk. We'll also cover the hottest topics

Speaker 1: and news within the travel world to help make you

Speaker 1: a more informed, savvy traveler. I never wonder if there's

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: the right time to buy a plane ticket it or

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: maybe how companies are trying to make vacations appeal to teenagers, Well,

22
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: travel stories along the way, like from Philippe Cousto and

23
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: the time he was chased through the streets of Port

24
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,559
Speaker 1: Moresby and Papua New Guinea and I ran around another

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: corner and literally bumped into three cops, and they had

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: an USY on one shoulder and a shotgun on the other.

27
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: Each of them and the guys chasing me stopped dead

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: in their tracks and looked at the police and looked

29
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: at me. The cops looked at me, looked at them,

30
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: and then looked at me and just kind of smiled,

31
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: and they were like, you are lucky, So I've come

32
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,360
