In The Footsteps Paul-What Do You Want To See?

Welcome to Truth Talk Live.

All right. Let's talk. A daily program powered by the Truth Network. This is kind of a great thing, and I'll tell you why. Where pop culture, current events, and theology all come together.

Speak your mind. And now, here's today's Truth Talk Live host. Today, where would you want to go? What would you like to see? If you could go on the trip of a lifetime to Athens, perhaps.

Take a cruise over to Turkey and Ephesus and those kind of places. What is that spark in your imagination? What is it that you've always wanted to see or enjoy? I can tell you, having seen some of this, it's more than exciting. And having been on a Clit tour, I can tell you there's going to be all sorts of details. You're going to be so glad you tuned in today, because if you like the idea of spending some time where Paul spent, well, you've called in the right show. We've got James Cartmole with us.

He's with Clit Travel, and the Truth Network is partnering with Clit to put on this tour, and it's coming up in September the 16th through the 26th. It's in the footsteps of Paul, and you'll visit Athens, Corinth, Acropolis, Mars Hill. It's got a three-night cruise to, I don't even know how to pronounce this one, Mykonos? Is that right, James? I hope so. Ephesus, Patmos, Santorini, Thessaloniki, Kavala, Philippi, and Metora.

So, all those places. Welcome, James. It's good to have you on. All right, Robbie.

Thanks so much for having me. Yeah, and the neat thing about this, I can assure you, is if you've ever traveled overseas, you will know it's a bit intimidating. But to have an amazing travel host on your side, it's really great, and Clit's going to make sure not only you get there, but you get there with your luggage and your passport and you're prepared for everything that you will encounter so that you can do nothing but enjoy the footsteps of Paul. So, James, give them an idea of where they're headed. Well, yeah.

I mean, you really nailed it. I mean, that's why so many people love to travel with Clit. That's why we've grown to be the oldest and the largest American-based tour company. We really make everything so easy and stress-free for our travelers. We've been around since 1918 doing these types of escorted trips, and the number one thing I hear when people go and travel with us is how much they come back and how easy we made everything, how much they learned, and how much your bucket list was fulfilled by seeing these great places and just being able to, in a stress-free way, sit back, relax, and experience it all.

And there's no better place to do that than in Greece. I mean, the history just comes alive on all these amazing destinations that we get to visit and through local guides and with the tour manager that's with you there. You're walking in the footsteps of Paul. You're seeing where the Bible was written. You're learning about all these amazing stories and just not only to be there but to bring that back home. It's a really important part of fulfilling life, and so many people just absolutely love it and go on it again and again.

So how about you listening? Where would you—I mean, you know, of all those places I've listed, which of those kind of piques your interest? I can just tell you, there's things that—unless you go on one of these trips you really don't have a sense of that Tammy and I went to Ephesus. And when we were there, like, you know, up on the mountain, kind of up above Ephesus, not only do you get to see obviously where Paul preached and those kind of things, and it really is kind of amazing when you realize that it's still kind of still intact, the place where he was, but you go up on the mountain and there is the church of the Virgin Mary, essentially still there where John took care of Mary in the last years of her life.

You may know from the cross Jesus said, Behold your son. And of course John took that seriously, obviously, as he cared for Mary through the rest of her life, and there was a place there right up above Ephesus where that is. Well, you would never get a sense of how far that was or how far Paul and Mary may have had to walk to get down to Ephesus and that kind of thing. Or think about, you know, when John was writing the book of Revelation, right, and, you know, part of this trip is going to go to Patmos, so you can actually, you know, see, you know, where he was when he began to write this. But you can also get a sense when he wrote the letter to the church at Ephesus, this was his church, man. This is where he hung out, you know, after Paul came through and formed the church and all that.

John came to minister there for years and years and years. And so, again, when you see this history come to life, you're going to see things that you just didn't realize. It really makes the Bible come alive in sort of 3D. And, again, I'm sure, like me, you have a love for the Word of God, and the idea of that is to have a conversational intimacy with the Word of God, because Jesus is the Word.

And so, you know, when you're studying these passages, when you've actually been there, it gives you so much more to talk to Jesus about, essentially, than what I'm trying to say. And so to have a chance, and I have not been to some of these, and I would really like to go, certainly I would love to go to Patmos and Mars Hill and see some of these things again. And I will tell you, again, if this sparks something in your heart, just call us, 866-348-7884, 866-348-7884, to say that you could go with a lot of different tour groups to do this, but what Colette is going to do, I can assure you, is they will immerse you in the culture in a way that I just didn't even know was possible. Like, when we were in Spain, Tammy and I were a few weeks ago with Colette, you know, we actually had dinner with a family. Like, they had a family that had a house that was overlooked in the Mediterranean, and so we came in and we had a Spanish meal sitting there with, you know, like they would normally cook with their family.

And so it was like a home-cooked meal and really getting to interact with the family. Can you imagine doing that in places like Turkey and Ephesus? And by the way, if you've never been to Turkey, I bet James would agree with me. They're some of the nicest people you will ever meet. They are really, you know, you get this picture of a Turkish person, that's not necessarily what—but man, I'm telling you, they are wonderful people, aren't they, James? Yeah, they're so friendly, they're very welcoming, and they just love when people make this pilgrimage to learn about the Christian faith and see these landmarks. You know, it's really what they believe in, it's what they do for a living, so it's their whole lives. And they take tremendous pride in it and showing it off and keeping it clean and good for visitors. And you really kind of hit the nail on the head with Ephesus and Atmos being what I believe are the highlights of the cruise.

But then, you know, in mainland Greece, we see amazing places like Corinth and Philippi and Mars. Oh yeah, are we? James, hey, we've got to go to a break, but I want to remind people real quick that there's an online tonight at 6 p.m. If you go to truthnetwork.com, you can see the clip, click on the information thing, it's going on tonight at 6. You're listening to the Truth Network and truthnetwork.com. Welcome back to Truth Talk Live! Today in the footsteps of Paul, where would you want to go? What would you want to see?

We would love to hear your ideas, your thoughts. The number to call in and share is 866-348-7884, 866-348-7884. And as I was mentioning right before the break, tonight at 6 p.m., there is a live presentation. It's a Zoom meeting, actually, that you can take part in.

All you have to do to take part in that, really, there's no cost at all. You just go to truthnetwork.com and you click on the Collette Travel link, you'll see the footsteps of Paul tour there in the slider. And you'll get a chance to see what the whole itinerary is and see what you might want to do in that whole thing.

Again, that's tonight at 6 o'clock, and all you do is go to truthnetwork.com and click on that link in order to find it. And I apologize, I interrupted you there, James. Right at the end of that segment, we got James Cartnell with Collette. And you were sharing more of what people could experience, especially, as you mentioned, Corinth. Yeah, I mean, you know, this trip really has two distinct parts to it. You have the beginning half of it, which is going to be predominantly on the cruise, and we'll see some great places like, you know, we'd already discussed Ephesus, Patinos, but along with that, we will be stopping at the beautiful islands of Mykonos and Santorini. And then the second part, which is, you know, really just exploring all over mainland Greece, and that'll take us to places like Philippi and Thessaloniki, and living around during Paul's day, but we do get to stop at the Meteora Monasteries, which is a fantastic, beautiful destination, a UNESCO World Heritage site. So, yeah, there really is just, I think every day has its own amazing story to it, its own history, and time for reflection, and it creates a really meaningful experience. Yeah, and part of that, you know, if you're a traveler, you know, you may concern yourself.

I know we did. When we went to Spain, it was like, oh, we're going here and here and here and here and here. Well, they do a really good job of keeping you in the same place as much as possible, so you're not repacking and repacking and repacking. And when you look at the itinerary in this, you'll see, just like you said, you take the ship and you go do some things for three or four days, and then you're there in mainland Athens, staying in one particular place, and the bus is taking you to these different places. The tour guides that they provide are like local, amazing, like there's no explaining how well they understand the culture, and they know the nuances and the neat things that really will find interest, they'll take time for you to do what you need to do. They even make sure to get the pictures that you want to get and all those kind of things that make it a special time. You were talking earlier about how you got to meet some of the people in Spain. That's a big thing that we do on all our trips. Anyone, in a way, can go to these places. But the reason why so many people trust to do it with Colette is because we can really immerse them in the local people, the culture.

Those are things that are hard to do on your own. One really interesting visit on this trip that we take is in Thessaloniki, right near Philippi, where Lydia became the first person to be baptized in Europe. We go to a local artist's shop. I think art work has been such an important part of spreading Christianity, and they teach you some of the techniques that people throughout time have used to do religious art work. You get to meet the artists there and learn about how they've passed down these trades through generation and the tricks of the style. It's a really interesting way to not only learn about art work, but also meet some of the people that live there today. Yeah, I think, again, it's an amazing opportunity, and you can join them with this Zoom call tonight at 6 p.m. We'll take you all the way through it.

You just go to truthnetwork.com and click on that link, and you can find out all sorts of interesting details. We've got Dr. Carson. It's actually Dr.

Date the word Carson, it looks like to me. It's calling in. So, Doc, you want to go to Patmos, don't you? What sparks your interest there? Hey, absolutely.

Good afternoon, Mr. Rabi. You know, I don't have to see it to truly believe what the Bible says, but there's just something about being at the place that the Bible speaks of. And I've always loved the letter to the Philippians and many times thought about what Philippi would have been like, and just thinking about Lydia being there, being the first convert in Europe. But Patmos, wow, to be there where John wrote the book of Revelation and just kind of experienced that. So, yeah, this sounds like a great trip.

Yeah, it really, really does. But I know for today, today's a special day to you, right? Well, for everybody.

All Americans, anyway. All Americans, being today as President's Day, thinking about the great religious heritage we have. And I don't know if you mind, but I'd love to share a prayer that George Washington prayed, and I think it would bless our listeners. George Washington prayed, May God keep you in His holy protection, incline the hearts of citizens to embrace brotherly love and affection for one another, and inspire us all to pursue justice, love, mercy, and carry ourselves with the virtues of the divine author of our blessed religion.

Without a humble imitation of his example, we cannot hope to be a truly happy nation. What a prayer for our first President. Amen. Amen.

Well, thank you. And then later, when John Adams became President, he was the first one to be in the President's house. They called it the White House later on. He wrote a letter to his wife and said, I pray heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this house and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof. And in 1949, they put that prayer on the mantle in the East Loon. Oh yeah, we all stand on their shoulders, right?

Yes, we do. And today, all those men that—and even in the church that you attended yesterday, you're standing on the shoulders of a lot of people that sacrificed in so many different ways. But the Presidents, it's an amazing thing and a great opportunity we have to honor them today. And I'm so grateful for you calling in, Doc. Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Have a wonderful day.

You too. All right, from the White House to, again, Greece. You know, one of the things that I think amazes me in that whole area is, especially over in Turkey, the sun is just intense. Well, we're going to talk a lot more about that when we come back. We've got to go to another break, but we want to remind you that this Zoom call is going on tonight all about this amazing tour. Again, you go to TruthNetwork.com and you just click on the Collette travel link.

It shows the footsteps of Paul Tour. And then for some of us, we'll be back in other markets. And some of you were saying bye to another show, but we'll be back next week.

You're listening to the Truth Network and TruthNetwork.com. Welcome back to Truth Talk Live! Today we're in the footsteps of Paul. What would you want to see? Where would you like to go? What is it that you've always been, you know, just you think about, you know, Paul, he's going to devote this talk to the unknown God or, you know, to walk around Athens to see what that, you know, it's amazing how many things are still there in Athens. What would you like to see?

866-348-7884. We have James Cartnow here with Collette Travel. And Athens is really a fascinating city, isn't it, James?

Oh, gosh, yeah. I mean, just thousands of years of history and just beautiful. The people, again, we talk about the people we get to see. They're just so friendly and outgoing and fun. One of the highlights of our time in Athens on this trip is we're going to go to a local taverna, you know, right actually on the foot of the Acropolis. And the local restaurants are a great way to see the culture. They have amazing food.

You will not lose a pound on this tour. You'll be eating constantly with great, great local cuisine. And, you know, they just make it, the music, there's dancing at these restaurants.

It's just so much fun. So it's a great way to kind of, you know, one of our first nights in Athens, we take people to some of these local restaurants and really immerse them in that local food and dance and music. Oh, I'll tell you, you know, one of my favorite memories of the Spain trip was actually in an Italian restaurant.

People have so much personality. Absolutely fascinating. We went to this restaurant. It was an Italian restaurant, but it was in Spain. And the little Italian chef, he had this thing, I've never seen it before, but it was a pasta wheel is what they called it. And they made their pasta fresh, you know, you imagine this homemade pasta. And the idea of this pasta wheel, which I had no idea, is, you know, they light it up with alcohol or whatever they do, like at a Japanese steakhouse, and it flames up real high. But what he did, and when they flame it up, by the way, what they're going to do is they're going to melt the Parmesan cheese into the pasta as they whip it around this wheel. So that was what was going to take place.

But Tammy and I had no idea that was what was going to go on. And all of a sudden, you know, you're in this restaurant and the lights go out and somebody says, did you guys not pay the power bill? And all of a sudden, this guy with all the personality in the world starts singing, when the moon hits the pot, he's singing at the top of his lungs. And he's dancing and jumping around this pasta wheel. And he's, you know, again, it's just an experience like you didn't see it coming whatsoever. And you see this fire shooting off in the air. And it was just, you know, absolutely delicious. But as you talk about it, you're in the culture, you're not, this isn't like just going to a regular restaurant.

And when you're in Greece, you're going to see that same kind of thing. And, you know, you can imagine Paul, believe me, they had a lot of personality back then as well, right? Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. I mean, just, you know, I think about the courage it must have taken him to stand up on Mars Hill right underneath the Acropolis and give some of the speeches he did and, you know, really promote Christianity. It's just awe inspiring.

And, you know, to kind of say that you were on these same little narrow alley streets going from little shop to shop and restaurants now, but those same streets stood back when he was there. It's just a really great experience. And so that's, you know, Athens is a great way to begin and end this trip. It's a great way to fly in and out of. And by the way, we take care of all the transportation on this trip.

So we've included the airfare actually from Raleigh-Durham International Airport and fly people to Athens, Greece. And from there, you know, all the transfers, the motorcoaches, the ships, whatever, however we're getting around, it's built in and included. So tour manager tells you where to show up. You just follow those instructions and you can just sit back and be whisked away to all these great places. Yeah, I can tell you that it's unlike anything and we, you know, Tammy and I have traveled a lot over the years because you may know I was a Chrysler dealer and they took us all over the place.

But on a Collette tour, it's a different thing. I got an email about three weeks out to say, be sure you do this, make sure you got this, make sure, you know, and all these different things. And when you get there, like they have an app now.

It's a Collette app. And if you get that app, like you can see your luggage got on your plane. I'm getting a notification that our luggage just boarded the plane.

You're right. And, you know, you've got this thing to tell you exactly where to go to with detailed instructions. Like here's where your baggage claim is going to be and you're going to walk out here to this place and you're going to see this guy with this sign. So there was never a moment where we didn't feel like, you know, somebody had us under control right to the point of getting to the hotel and getting you your keys and making sure you were in your room.

The travel managers were there every step of the way. But one of the most impressive things that happened, James, was on our way back. You know, we, because, you know, a lot of people are flying out of similar flights, we were with a couple that we'd gotten to know pretty well on the trip and we were all flying back into JFK.

Well, as we're coming through the Spain airport, somehow or another, she loses her passport when she, you know, goes through one of the checkpoints. And, you know, immediately they got up with Colette. Colette put somebody special on it.

It was this, that, and the other. And although we found her passport, I couldn't believe how quick Colette responded and they had somebody ready to help her get through whatever. It was just amazing. Again, it's like, it's not like traveling overseas where you don't have anybody there on your side. It's just an amazing thing, really, to experience.

Yeah, sometimes, you know, unexpected things happen and having the scale of a company like Colette behind you really makes you feel good. And the same thing, you know, we have a great cancel for any reason policy, too, that a lot of people get leading up to the trip. So what that does is it allows people to cancel for any reason, get all your money back in cash, no questions asked, up until 24 hours before the trip. We refund you all your money. You know, our philosophy is we haven't done anything to earn your money yet.

So if you need to cancel, we're not going to keep it. And it's been a great policy. People love taking that. Just to kind of give you an idea, during the pandemic when travel really shut down, we refunded over $200 million to people that weren't able to travel. So it's been a real reason why we've been doing so well in these last several years.

Yeah, I understand you guys actually even returned the insurance money that people had paid for during. And, like, what an amazing thing. Again, this trip is coming up September 16th through the 26th. And as he said, it's flying out of Raleigh. It's September 16th through the 26th. And there is a wonderful meeting, Zoom meeting tonight. If you want to take part in that to see all the details and the financial information, et cetera, you can join them online tonight.

You just go to truthnetwork.com and you're going to see a banner that says Colette Footsteps of Paul. And you click on that banner and, you know, you get ready to enjoy. And again, that's coming up in about an hour. So, you know, if you're interested, no time like the present, right? Jump in while you're thinking about it before, you know, because if you don't, you know, I'm so glad. I really, really am for the travel that Tammy and I have done because, again, you know, if you don't schedule it into your time, you know, it'll just be another year and another year that we didn't go.

And believe me, time flies. And so why not, you know, before you hesitate, it's, yeah, the meeting is tonight, but why not check it out? Because, again, if you book by 17th of March, if you book earlier right now, there's a reduced rate that you can take advantage of.

And of course, who doesn't want to save money? And it's coming up, again, September 16th through the 26th. You can say these words so much better than I do, so I'm going to let you go through them again, all the different stops. Go ahead, James.

Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, some of the places on the cruise are fantastic, and that's the first portion of the trip. So we'll go to Athens, we go to Corinth, we go to Mykonos with those amazing, beautiful windmills and whitewashed buildings. We see Ephesus, and you can still see where Paul lived there and preached there. The House of Mary, which is a huge highlight for so many travelers in Ephesus. We go to Patmos and see the Cave of the Apocalypse, Santorini. And then back on mainland, we go and head north through Kalambaka, and we visit the Meteora Monasteries.

We get to see some of the monks who live there on these beautiful, amazing rock formations overlooking the Thessaloniki Valley, where you see amazing food being grown. Then we'll spend two nights in Thessaloniki and see places like Philippi and some of the first steps that Paul took on European soil. Then we'll head back down to Athens to end the trip. So a real nice, well-paced trip that has amazing things every day.

And again, the tour manager, the local guides will be with you from start to finish to make sure you're enjoying it, learning, and... Yeah, they'll actually be there before the start, and they'll be there after the finish. So come on, guys, and call in with your thoughts. 866-348-7884. We've got one more segment to get in on this.

Maybe you've got a question about one of those places. I know I do. We're going to hear all about that when we come back.

866-348-7884. Stay tuned. Welcome back to Truth Talk Live.

Today we're talking about in the footsteps of Paul. What would you want to see? Where would you like to go? You call us 866-348-7884.

866-348-7884. Again, this trip that we've got with the Truth Network is coming up September 16th through the 26th with Colette Travel. We've got James Cartmell here with us with Colette Travel. And as we've talked about, you're going to visit so many places, even take a cruise. It's all included. It's amazing. Again, we've got a Zoom call coming on tonight. It's 6 o'clock.

It won't be long. And you just go to truthnetwork.com to click on that for more information. And one of those places, it just intrigues me that I would just love to go. So you said that when you go to the Patmos, you actually go to the Cave of the Apocalypse. And so have you seen that, James? Yeah, I have done a lot of these places.

Unfortunately, when I was there, we weren't able to go to Patmos. But by all accounts of people that I work with and other people that have done this trip, it's an absolutely awe-inspiring visit where we go into the Monastery of John and visit this amazing island. We visit the cave where he was and see the church that has been built on this really holy site. So a really great place to see where God spoke to him, and he was inspired to write the book of Revelation.

Right. And I always found it interesting that the word apocalypse, it fills your mind with all sorts of interesting things. But actually, in English, apocalypse is pronounced revelations. I don't know if you've ever looked at that. And the idea of the revelation is actually you get to see Jesus. So it's apocalyptic, but it's absolutely like blow your mind cool. And so when you think about this cave, I'm intrigued.

I mean, that alone is, for me, like, man, talk about the vision of visions, to be able to see something like that. And again, having actually been on the ground in Turkey, and even the dirt, honestly, is nothing like the dirt here in America. It's white and powdery, and it's different.

And then they've got the camels. And, you know, even the restrooms, it's a completely different experience than you think about. Like, man, when these folks were doing these things and walking all these places and doing it, it was just a completely different thing. And you could see why Jesus was big on cleaning feet, because this powdery stuff, it's all over the place.

But again, it's part of one of the joys of really living out your faith in so many different ways, to be able to experience that. And I can remember Greece, or Athens in particular, for me, you know, there's some very modern, modern, modern stuff, right? Even more modern than we have here in the United States. We certainly saw that in Spain. The bullet train there was absolutely, like, blew my mind. However, you know, God has preserved certain artifacts there in Athens that, man, they're exactly like they were, you know, before Christ was born, right? So you've hung out there a bit, I imagine, haven't you, James? Oh, yeah, Athens is just fantastic. It's, I mean, such an amazing place for all kinds of history, and just human civilization in general.

And there's so many different things you can do. It's a very beautiful city with old architecture and beautiful parks. You get to, you know, see where the first Olympics took place. And, I mean, we're just walking around the Acropolis and seeing the whole city beneath you is fantastic. So one thing that I will mention on this trip is, you know, we're walking in footsteps of Paul, and walking is important.

You know, a lot of these places are older. So you're going to have to walk on some paths to get up to the Acropolis or in Ephesus or on Patmos. And so having good footwear, making sure you're comfortable, you know, walking and being on your feet for, you know, for a little bit each day is going to be an important thing when you're considering joining us on this trip. Yeah, we certainly experienced that in Spain as we walked every day. You know, there were three, four, five hour tours.

And we came back in really great shape comparatively. So the walking part is really, really good for you. But also, you know, you're like, wow, I did 15,000 steps today, you know. So, you know, you may be eating all this food, but you're burning it off too because, you know.

You are burning it off, yeah, yeah. And definitely stay. I mean, they're old, you know, these are old places. And they didn't have escalators back when Paul was there. So they've been preserved and we're doing the same thing. So I guess what I say, it's a lot easier to walk, you know, up these stairs when you have good footwear.

So I would really suggest that. Yeah, and the buses can't get down into these places. I mean, or, you know, so walking is the way that it's done. But it's all the more reason when you think about it, you know, to do it now while you still have your health, right? Because, you know, once you get into your late 80s or whatever, you know, that's going to be hard. As we saw, a lot of the folks that were on our trip, unfortunately, weren't able to make it to several of the somewhat cooler things that were because they just couldn't do it.

And so, you know, as you're thinking about this, you know, if the Lord's provided and you have the resources, you know, why not? It's September 16th through the 26th. Again, we've got a meeting tonight. It's a Zoom call. It's going to go on. They're going to give all sorts of details. You know, just go to truthnetwork.com and you click on that Collette travel banner, you know, and you'll be able to take part in, you know, this whole Zoom. You'll be able to see what they're talking about and get a good idea.

And I can't imagine, believe me, a better way to go than Collette. Like, oh my goodness, they will take care of you and you will feel like, you know, you have somebody right there by you to make sure. Even down to, you know, what kind of electricity you use because funny story, maybe it's not that funny, but I think it's hilarious. So we get into our room, right?

And Tammy and I haven't traveled in Europe much. And we go to – there's no – I plug in my converter into the thing and I've got no power and all the lights won't come on in the room, you know. And so what do I do? I call my Collette guy.

I'm like, do you know what I do? He said, did you put your key in the thing right by the door? A lot of places nowadays, apparently even in America, I understand now that you have to put your key in a little thing by the door. So if you don't have power or lights in your room when you check into a hotel in the future, you could take this advice from Robbie. That little plastic key that you got, stick that in there.

Man, it worked great. It worked in both hotels like that. But it's – you know, again, you're in a place where they don't speak your language. And so you could go to the front desk if you want and they look at you like, you know, with the big eyes. Or you can call your Collette guy and he'll understand you and away you go. That's great.

That's a funny story. Yeah, it's amazing how convenient they make it. They make it for people when they have somebody that you can just call and trust. And if you can't join tonight, if you do have specific questions on this trip, I also wanted to provide the number you can use to reach our team directly here in the United States. That's also on the webpage you can find on thetruthnetwork.com. But that number is 1-800-581-8942. Again, that's 1-800-581-8942. And you can – please give them the booking number 129-1504.

129-1504. And that will refer them to this specific Greece trip through the Truth Network. Yeah, and I can tell you that Collette uses four-star hotels and that kind of stuff. And so when they say meals are included and it's a breakfast, like, hang on to your hats. Oh, we've – I've eaten yogurt, but I had never eaten yogurt in my life until I ate the yogurt at breakfast. I've eaten at breakfast buffets, but nothing like either one that we went to in Spain.

Like, just food on top of food. But I mean, it's a four-star resort. In both cases, you know, I would have rated them five based on what I know. I could tell you that.

They're very good. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and we want to prioritize to not only the quality of the hotel, but the location. So that when you're in a city like Athens, you can just walk out your door and be someplace you want to walk around and hang out in and not have to take a cab ride or something like that.

Yeah, they always use the four-stars that are centrally located. It was the same way when we were in Madrid. You could. You could rock right out and there were beautiful places to go. And we, in fact, one of the restaurants we ate at there was just unbelievable.

That was, you know, couldn't have been three minutes from where the hotel was there in Madrid. And so that is a big thing. So you're, you know, plus the cruise. Like, don't forget that. I mean, how fun is that? And you're cruising the Mediterranean.

And Paul did a little bit of that too. Yeah. Not in the quite the same accommodations.

No. But nonetheless, you know, you get to see. And, you know, the Mediterranean's a different blue than you see in most seas here.

And you get a chance to really experience some things. In that time of year, it's going to be absolutely beautiful. September 16th through the 26th. And again, we don't want you to forget.

You go to truthnetwork.com. The Collette, you know, it's going to happen tonight at 6 o'clock, this Zoom call. We hope that you all can take part in that. And again, you know, you'll be making memories that will last your whole life.

I can assure you. I'll never, ever forget my trip to Ephesus. And I didn't get to do all this stuff. So thank you, James, so much for being with us today. Thank you for having me.

It was a lot of fun. Thank you all for listening. We appreciate you, listeners, so very, very much. Hope you can make the call tonight. It's at 6 o'clock. You just go to truthnetwork.com and you look for that Collette, C-O-L-L-E-T-T banner. And again, you guys have an amazing week. We'll be back with more Truth Talk Live tomorrow.
