I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 142.

Dust off that diaper bag.

Today the amateur traveler talks about traveling with children. heading home, but maybe not, maybe not still a day.

Welcome to the amateur traveler.

I'm your host, Chris Christensen.

Before we get into the interview today,

I do have one news story for you. The votes are in for which

country produces the best tourists. According to a survey of 4,000 hotel

years around the world, Japanese make the best tourists.

Tourists were rated on being neat, willing to learn the language, generous and quiet and that's

one of the things the Americans lost points on.

We gain points on generous, but lost points on quiet and went down to the 11th place.

Links to that story on the show notes at amateur traveler.com. I'd like to welcome to the show Debbie who has come to us from

delicious baby to talk to us about traveling with kids.

Debbie welcome to the show.

Thank you very much.

I'm excited to be here.

And I'm excited to have you.

Debbie and I actually used to work together many years ago,

at least a couple of kids ago for Debbie.
