Summary

The Amateur Traveler talks about traveling to the Hawaiian Island of Lana’i. I recently spent a week in Lana’i as a guest of the Lana’i Visitor’s Bureau as one of their 2012 “Artists in Residence”. Lana’i only has 3,000 residence and a small town feel. I talk about some of the more unusual (for me at least) activities that I tried on the Island including riding a horse, going on a ride and shoot (to Lana’i Pines Sporting Clays), snubing, learning to play the ukulele, getting a lomi lomi massage, volunteering at a cat sanctuary and going 4 wheel drive tour. You don’t have to do this much when you go to Lan’i. You could also just golf or lie on the beach. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:00.0	I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good
0:08.6	in my passport photo.
0:10.6	Oh no.
0:11.6	Amateur Traveler episode 320 today the Amateur Traveler episode 320. Today the amateur traveler talks about pine trees and
0:16.2	beaches and pineapples as we go to the island of La Nai. See one more cathedral, I'm your host Chris Christensen. Before I get into what is not an interview today, I have three news stories for you.

0:43.3	boyfriend's new wife if you said send an email claiming that she's part of a
0:48.5	terrorist plot to kill hundreds that it's probably not the right answer as a woman from the UK named Ahia Arbid learned.
0:56.7	She is now on trial.
0:58.9	Strange things in the UK.
1:00.4	Up until St. Patrick's Day, you could stay in a temporary hotel that was made to look like
1:06.1	Alcatraz. This of course was a publicity stunt for the TV show Alcatraz.
1:11.9	And the third news story is a little more personal. I'm
1:14.1	changing jobs. I'm leaving my job a trip advisor. The 2,700 mile commute proved to be
1:18.8	a little too much after a while. That's going to mean some changes for the amateur
1:21.9	traveler. I'm not necessarily going to have the changes for the amateur traveler.
1:22.5	I'm not necessarily going to have the time to spend on the show,
1:24.7	but I will hopefully have some more money because I will be able to take ads again.
1:28.4	I'm also looking seriously at getting an assistant.
1:31.0	So if you're interested in that, drop me an email to
1:33.1	host at amateur traveler.com. You can find links to our first two stories at the
1:36.8	shownotes at amateur traveler.com. It's been a while since I've been my own guest and the amateur traveler and as I mentioned
