This week Emelie joins Ben to discuss the word travel.  First they talk about the interesting places they have each been for work and pleasure.  Driving, flying and riding the train are just a few of the modes of transportation discussed before Ben talks about two ridiculous travel themed “games.”  To close out the show Emelie and Ben share their international and domestic dream vacations: Tokyo, Stockholm, the Grand Tetons, and a specific Disney destination.
