Passport to Great TV

So, Samantha Brown's new show has premiered on the Travel Channel--Passport to Great Weekends. In each episode, Brown goes to a new city in America and show how you can have a great vacation in one little weekend. And with gas prices and the economy the way it is, it looks like we'll be reducing our vacations to weekends for quite some time. Anyway, I saw the episode where Brown spends a vacation in Austin, Texas. One of the reasons I love Brown's shows is that she goes to places you wouldn't necessarily think of going nor would be high up on "Must See" lists in your travel brochure. She visits a place where the 50's are alive and well as well as tours much more of Austin musical scene. Brown also finds great places to eat and stay, revealing little tips to make your vacation much smoother and more enjoyable.

If you are looking for a good vacation place or just want to see other cities, I would suggest watching this show. And Brown is such a personable host, you feel like you are on vacation with her. I'd love to be her for a day or at least be her assistant!

This week Samantha Brown visits San Francisco and Miami. The shows air on the Travel Channel on Thursdays and repeat often. Check your local listings.
