As the clear leader in our sector of the Travel World with the ability to impact so many travelers nationwide, America’s #1 Travel Radio Show is such a diverse program covering all travel sectors while talking “Everything & Anything in the World of Travel”… Now heard on 615 weekly radio stations across the USA, via both a live 2-hour weekly long form program and M-F Daily Travel Commentary, approximately 6 to 8x’s per year The Careys agree to take the program out of its New York City area studio and descend on a location of interest for a big “Let’s Go America! Tour”… These special events culminate with a live remote broadcast(s) from the destination(s), and they’re filled with an array of happenings from the busy daily itineraries that connect them and thus the audience with different sides of locations visited. These are typically locales beyond the brochure or easily found activities on a website. The purpose of each big “Let’s Go America! Tour” is to educate/entice/empower show fans to travel — to get listeners out from behind the desk, off the sofa, out of their comfort zone and most importantly — out and about experiencing/enjoying the world!
As 2026 begins, and as a way of supercharging our coverage of America’s 250, Robert & Mary decided to start the new year traveling between Miami and Los Angeles — not by plane, not by train, not by automobile — but instead by sea! And that meant transiting a “bucket list” destination for many — the Panama Canal! For the latest edition of our big “Let’s Go America! Tour” series, working with show partner Regent Seven Seas Cruises, Robert & Mary departed Miami aboard the company’s newest ship, Seven Seas Grandeur on January 3rd — concluding in Los Angeles on January 25th — while visiting Grand Cayman, Jamaica, the ABC Islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao, Columbia, Costa Rica, Panama, and multiple stops in Mexico along the way!
To hear an archive in .mp3 format of the national radio broadcasts we all affectionally call the “Fastest 2 Hours in Travel” that transmitted via satellite across the USA to our network of 615 weekly stations from Panama on January 17th and separately from Cabo San Lucas on January 24th — simply click on the play arrows immediately below this text…
