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 399. Today the Amateur Traveler episode 399. Today the amateur traveler talks about

medieval cities, World War I, and of course French fries as we go to Belgium. Welcome to 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 episode I do have three news stories for you. The first one if you're

tired of sitting next to the crying baby on a plane, then at low-cost airline

in Singapore called Scoot has the answer for you.

On their flights, which have 41 seats, kids under 12 are not allowed. Or if you think you'd just rather be on the

plane by yourself, then you may want to ask Tom Wagner if that's a good idea because he woke

up on an empty plane in the Houston's airport. They didn't notice that he had

fallen asleep on the plane. No one woke him up. Instead, they all walked off the

plane, locked it, and that's where he found himself. If that's not quite enough aloneness for you, there is an airport that you can

have all to yourself that is for sale in Spain. The airport was originally built at a cost to

1.5 billion dollars and includes the longest runway in Europe. It was built as the first

privately run international airport. It is now for sale and you can get it for only 150 million

dollars and that is a bargain. For links to all three of those stories

check out the shownotes at amateur traveler.com. Nice, God, God, move to the left. Left! Time!

Come!

Come!
