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.

Guest Melissa Krueger, the CEO of Classic Vacations, and host Rebecca Tobin 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?
