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

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 218.

Today the Amateur Traveler will be talking about remote pristine beaches and

range rovers as we go to the Marquesne Islands. Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen.

Before you go into this week's interview, I do have one news story for you and that's a strange one.

There's a story that came out of CNN about the search for a $27,000 suitcase,

27,100 in fact, there is actually a bag that exists that will cost you that much money. The thing that I liked about

the story is if you buy this Erme bag and you are considering how you can get it

around without getting it scratched up you can buy a suitcase for it.

I kid you not. You can check out that travel story as well as other ones that we talked

about this week on this weekend travel.

I'd like to welcome the show Stephanie Michaels, also known as Adventure Girl, both on

Twitter as well as Adventure Girl.

Come, who's come to talk to us about the Marquesas Islands.

Stephanie, welcome to the show.

Thanks for having me.

It's good to have you on the show.

I was kind of looking for an excuse to have you on.

And then Gary Arndt had mentioned

that you had been to this remote part of the world where are the Marquesas and

first of all am I say it correctly? Yes you are saying the Marquesas correctly.
