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

in my passport photo.

The Amateur Traveler episode 222. Today the Amateur Traveler episode 222.

Today the Amateur Traveler talks about treehouses,

orangutangs, and proboscis monkeys as we go to Borneo. Welcome to the city one more cafe.

I know that I should be heading home, but maybe not, maybe not today. Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen.

Before we get in today's interview I do have two news stories for you. The first one you

probably heard is a sad one that one of the killer whales at Orlando's Sea World lived

up to the name unfortunately this week when a trainer was dragged into the pool and drowned.

So that's a story that's still unraveling in terms of what they're going to do with that killer whale, but certainly sad news.

And then in strange sad news, but we're probably going to see more of this with cruise ships

getting larger and it's such a confined space. We had a problem on a ship in the

Caribbean this week with a Celebrity Mercury where one out of every four of the 1800

passengers got sick and ended up with upset stomach vomiting diarrhea the

sort of usual travelers disease but they basically put the ship under quarantine.

Everybody was supposed to spend the time in their cabin until the virus passed.

They brought on some additional medical crew.

So they were given vouchers for another cruise since they had to spend the time in

quarantine but that doesn't sound like the ideal Caribbean cruise ship vacation.

Four links to both of those stories as well as a link to

this week's this weekend travel check out the show notes at amateur traveler
