Down in Florida this week, picking up a bit of the local heat and humidity. Recorded in the bathroom of the Marriott Courtyard in Oldsmar, FL, somewhere between Tampa and Clearwater, we talk about how travel skills are passed from parents to children, spotting some famous people in ORD and LAX, rare emotions in the Frequent Traveler screening line, and a review of travel podcasts. Also, the final results of our Worst US Airport poll. Here’s a direct link to the podcast file
Swinging through the West Coast, I recorded this podcast in the bathroom of the Orchard Hotel a block or two from the summit of Nob Hill in San Francisco. In this podcast, we talk about how the post-9/11 reduction in carry-ons has made packing for different business dress codes a real hassle. Is there an end to the “shoe carnival”? Recent news articles and a discussion with a TSA supervisor in Tampa suggest that a small bit of common sense may have infiltrated the TSA. And finally, a “potpourri” category — collected odds-’n'-ends from discussion topics on the web site. Here’s a direct link to the podcast file.
I’m back in the US and back on the road — ths time, though, on wheels, not in the air. Recorded in the TravelCommons “mobile studio” (a ‘95 Chevy Blazer), this podcast talks about security risks of hotel Internet access, the hassle of replacing forgotten things while on the road, and, in the lastest edition of Classic Travel Stories, fun times in really small towns. Also, a response to a listener’s question regarding in-flight mobile phone usage and Internet services. Here’s a direct link to the podcast file.
