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 337. Today the amateur traveler talks about

castles and Roman ruins and steel as we go to Segovia and Toledo Spain. Spain. Welcome to the road.

I got 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

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

Express had a little embarrassment this week one of their planes landed at the wrong airport.

The airport was big enough for the plane, but not by much. The wingspan of the plane was 70 feet and the runway was 75.

The company said they were looking into the incident, which they called. 70 feet and the runway was 75.

The company said they were looking into the incident, which they called a diversion.

Kind of like a magic trick.

Quantis wasn't tricked though.

They had a pilot who showed up for work, apparently having been drinking, and forced her to relinquish the

controls of the jet and bring that right back to the gate.

They apparently have a zero tolerance policy for alcohol, so raise a toast to Quantis. El Al, though, had a rougher time this week. for Israel Airlines for allegedly switching her seat on a flight from the U.S.

because alter-Orthodox men refused to sit next to her.

She claims that the flight stewart moved her to a seat in the back of the plane which did not meet her medical needs.

One wonders why you don't move the people who won't sit next to the people you put them next to.

Food for thought, L.L. For links to all three of those stories, check out the show notes at amateur traveler.
