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

Amateur Traveler episode 419. Today the Amateur Traveler talks about museums,

beer festivals, and ghost towns as we go to the Mile High City, Denver, Colorado. I got the city one more cafe.

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. The first one

may not be quite as relevant for you as it is for me.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a new law called the bloggers law that requires

Now I don't have more than 3,000 daily readers, but I did have more than 3,000 daily listeners last year, so if the invasion of the crimey

I didn't do it, this may have put Russia just one more notch lower on my list of

places to go. This may not affect your places to go, but some decisions by Frontier Airlines may affect how you get there.

They're now going to be charging from $20 to $50 for bags that go in the overhead bin for your carry-on bags.

They're going the route of Spirit Airlines.

They're lowering their rates of their tickets by 12%

and then they're going to add additional fees.

flight, not just the cost of the ticket, which is a good idea no matter who you fly.

Links to both those stories can be found at the show notes at amateur traveler.com.
