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 319. Today the Amateur Traveler episode 319. Today the amateur traveler talks about

gorges and temples and the home of T as we go to the Yunnan province of

Southern China. I'm going to the city one more cafe.

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

into this week's interview I do have three news stories for you. If you like

cruising you might be interested in the story about Barbara Farand. She has

cruised so much that she now gets seasick on land. The story from

travel mole veteran cruiser Barbara Farin has found she gets seasick on land

after sailing on 47 ships in 17 years. The 71-year-old was struck by the condition called

Mal-Diter, after a three-month world trip in 2009 to celebrate her golden wedding.

An Australian entrepreneur has come up with a website for people who met on a plane hit it off

but forgot to get the number.

And the website is called We Met on a plane.

Which reminds me of another plane story.

Air New Zealand now is going to let you have a better seat.

One of the better seats in the plane, if you're willing to pay for it, they're going to

start having passengers bid for the best seats rather than just do it first come first serve at a fixed price.

For links to all three of those stories, check out the show notes at amateur traveler.com.

I'd like to welcome back to the show Lee Moore.

Lee has been on the show twice talking about China and he's come back yet a third time
