today. Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen.

You may have noticed this week that we did put out an

announcement that the amateur traveler was just a recent winner of Travel and

Leisure magazine's Smitty Awards, the Social Media in Travel and Tourism Awards, which are annual awards by

Travel and Leisure, and it was the winner for the, or I was the winner for the best

independent journalist slash blogger.

And that's pretty cool.

I'm also pleased to announce that we have been waiting for the final details, but we can

now sign up for the amateur traveler trip to Morocco.

This is an April 2015 trip. It actually looks like we may be doing two trips.

A 10 day trip followed immediately by a 15 day trip. My wife and I will be on the 10 day,

but we had a number of people who really were interested in the 15 day.

If you go to the amateur travel site, I'll put up a link under book travel for that trip.

I'd like to welcome to the show Lance from Trips by Lance who's also the editor for

about.com section on Memphis who has come to talk to us about Memphis Tennessee.
