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 355 today the Amateur Traveler episode 355. Today the amateur traveler talks about

colonial cities, Mayan ruins, and language schools as we go to Guatemala. I got to sit in one more cafe.

I know that I should be heading home

but maybe not maybe not

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. The first one

we watched Harry Potter actress Emma Watson grow up but apparently

somebody the TSA doesn't think she's done growing up. She was mistaken for an

unaccompanied minor at JFK airport recently. She is 22 and unaccompanied minor would be under the age of 12.

And then we often have stories of unruly passengers. We had an odd one this week when a passenger

went a little crazy on a flight from Iceland air to New York City.

He ended up choking the person next to him screaming the plane is going down or something to that

effect and was duct tape to his seat by the other passengers.

So if you're not packing duct tape for your next flight,

maybe you should think about it.

But overall we had the good news that

2012 worldwide was the safest year in air travel since 1945. Now I'm assuming

they met the safest in commercial air travel. As I recall a lot of planes were

being shot down in 1945. For links to all three of those stories
