Amateur Traveler, episode 82. Today the Amateur Traveler goes to Turkey.

I got my bags packed on a roll.

I'm heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good in my passport photo

15 hour flight oh I don't think I'll ever be coming home.

You know I love it.

I got to see one more cathedral.

I got to sit in one more cafe. I know that I should be heading home but maybe not maybe not to the day.

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

Sorry for not getting a show out last week, but I'm afraid at that time my voice

sounded like this. Welcome to the amateur traveler. I'm your host Chris

Christensen. And while that was a great improvement on the few days before then, I didn't think you'd want to listen to that for very long.

The proud winner of an amateur traveler mug in the February travel contest was Roger who entered in review at iTunes then sent

me an email in Roger's email he said we typically take one big trip per year

this last year was Niagara Falls and surrounding areas to visit

family. The year before was renting a camper and touring inland Alaska and the

year before that was the northeast. My kids, the oldest being 17 and the youngest

12, have been to 37 states.

We are missing the southeast. The only international travel has been to Great Britain.

We did a whirlwind tour sounds like our travel styles are the same.

I always promised my wife that you can rest when we get home.

Anyway, thanks for sharing your love of travel with us. Hope I win a mug to use at work.

And you have.
