Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're waking up with fifth in the morning, hun Kiss
one O seven one, Good morning.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
We're gonna talk about the top Halloween travel destinations for
you to hit over the next thirty one days. I
should have consulted with our show's travel expert on this, Michelle.
I bet we could cross reference a list and she
would probably agree with some of these if you wanted
to go solo.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
She's our solo at travel expert.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Coming in at number one, And I could speak to
this one because it's near where I grew up, Salem, Massachusetts.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Obviously, the witch trials.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Back in sixteen ninety two have cemented this as like
a place for Halloween. I recommend, though, if you're planning
a trip to New England, take the commuter rail to Salem.
Don't try and drive because there's no parking there. I mean,
driving in Massachusetts is already a nightmare. You know, our
founding fathers didn't do that great of a job at

(00:53):
greeting the roads. But yeah, I recommend taking the commuter rail.
But just a great place to go for a week
in getaway up in New Englan. Coming in at number two, Guys,
I feel a little disingenuous talking about this because I
am not a spooky season girl. Ahh, I'm just not.
I'm not one. I'm not gonna I'm not. I don't

(01:14):
mind going to a Halloween party. I'll be in the
Dominican Republic for Halloween this year, though for a wedding
something we'll spend for a different time. But I'm curious
to see if anyone shows up on the plane in
a Halloween costume. Coming in at number two, Sleepy Hollow,
New York with more than seven thousand hand carved pumpkins.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
That sounds cool.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
You can take a tour of the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.
These next three are ones that I would have never
picked for Halloween, but maybe they'll be a little bit
of an uncharted destination as well.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
New Orleans.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
I didn't realize that this would make it a good
Halloween destination, but I guess it makes sense.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Because they're really into voodoo there.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Okay, you can take haunted hay rides and such Anoka, Minnesota.
These are the top Halloween destinations to travel to, by
the way, over the next thirty one days. They've been
celebrating since the nineteen twenties, and their Halloween festival lasts
several weeks and it includes a massive bonfire, and you know,
nothing says Halloween like a massive bonfire that lasts for

(02:14):
several weeks. And then lastly, Savannah, Georgia. I guess it's
one of the most haunted US cities and offers lots
of ghost tours.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
I bet that has to do with like earlier you know,
like Civil War days and stuff. There you go, look
at that.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
My best friend Megan from back in Massachusetts, she's the
one that I went to the Turks and Caicos wedding form.
She texted me yesterday and she says, Hey, I just
want to know who has the money and the budget
for their electricity fund to put all these giant blow
up Halloween decorations on their front lawn.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
They said, you know what, I don't know. I don't know.
Duke Energy might be squeezing them tight.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
All right, coming up two songs, So now we get
the three things you need to know to get your
day started. In Sincy, TQL Stadium picked for a pretty
big honor.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
We'll get to that next. Good Morning
