I think that the holidays feel like frozen noses. I love walking with the dog for long periods of time.

Hopefully it's snowing and you've got to wrap up warm. So I think a frozen nose is

then sweaty armpits because like you're wrapped up so warm but then you're climbing hamps

and heath and you get to the top and you're like and then you can see the breath

but then your nose is still freezing to touch.

Joy in every sip with red cups now back at Starbucks.

It's my pleasure to welcome you to the Clark Howard Show our emissions to serve you and empower you.

To make better financial decisions in your life. We're so close to summer. In fact,

many people don't go by when summer actually starts right around my birthday June 20th.

They consider Memorial Day to be the start of summer, Labor Day to be the end of summer.

I've got a couple related topics to discuss. Travel and cooling your house this summer.

So air fairs have gone through the roof and it's funny. I do a morning segment in Los Angeles

with Bill Handel and KFI and first thing he asked me the other day was so you never talk about

any air fair deals anymore. Do you, Clark? And that's the truth. Why am I not talking about him?

Because air fair deals are not deals right now. The fairs have gone up by enormous amounts

and they've gone up because of all the pen up demand of the last two years with people who

have not traveled through COVID. And I keep talking to people on planes who say, hey, this is the

first time I've flown since the end of 19 or early in 20 and they're kind of freaked out being

back with people everywhere around them. But there's all that plus people who had the vouchers

where flights were canceled or whatever and they canceled their flights and the airlines gave

them the vouchers that gave them a period of time to use them and people rushing to use all those.

So we've got this massive spike in demand pretty much all at once.
