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

in my passport photo.

Oh no!

Amateur Traveler episode 374.

Today the Amateur Traveler talks about motorbikes and the American War and lots and lots of soup

as we go to Vietnam.

I know that I should be heading home.

Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Before we get

into this week's interview I do have two news stories for you. In the first one

it's not an unusual story to hear that somebody got kicked off a plane because they wouldn't listen to a flight attendant and stay in their seat and turn off their cell phone.

In this case, it was a group of students that were kicked off an air tran flight.

One of the things that makes this story unusual,

it was the hundred students and chaperones

kicked off a flight that only held 134.

The plane was indeed sent nearly empty. And the second new story of plane was

plane was diverted this week in Air Canada flight because someone on board was

screaming for help and asking to be let off the plane.

Unfortunately it was the pilot. As one eyewitness said,

the cockpit door opens and there is the pilot and he starts screaming and holding on to the

airline attendant saying, Help me, Help me. I'm seeing the pilot saying, Help me, I'm a little concerned. He was screaming, get me off the plane,

you don't want to hear that. For links to both those stories, check out the show notes at amateur traveler.com.

I'd like to welcome back to the show Jody Atenberg.
