It’s getting to be mid July, but as you’ll hear from this episode, the summer travel season – both booking and traveling – is far from over.

With our guest Melissa Krueger, the CEO of Classic Vacations, we’re going to talk about all things summer-travel and summer-trend related: A comeback in Maui, traveling to Italy, a surprise getaway in the U.S. and, of course, what this season's close-in  booking window means for travelers and sellers. And: What is JOMO, and how can you apply it to your next vacation? 

This episode was recorded July 10 and has been edited for length and clarity.
