Barry extends his apology to Alan Gerstner for his "A Plumber Without a Pipe Wrench" rant in Show Number 81.

Lorene talks about the Cruise Agent Only website. This organization offers excellent training for the travel agent. This training is combined with cruises to various destination. You take clasees aboard the cruise ship while you are at sea. At port you may be treated to tours, amenities and information by the local tourist associations. The cruises offered are at an excellent price and combined with the training you recieve are an excellent value.

Barry discusses ! the "Pew Internet and American Life Project" survey that indicates that only 12% of internet users download a podcast to listen to it at a later time. This means that most people are listening to podcasts while they are at the podcast website. Subscribing and taking a podcast with you is very easy. Barry talks about an analogy used by Dave Jackson at the School of Podcasting to understand how an RSS feed works. Barry also points listeners to a great podcasting aggregator (podcatcher) called Juice. This tool is free and is very easy to use to subscribe to your favorite podcasts.

Close Encounters with Killer Whales - A Sound Seeing Tour

2005-10-28T11:24:00.000-04:00

Podcast Number Thirty-four

During our Seattle trip we traveled about an hour north of Seattle and boarded a car ferry at Anacortes, WA. The ferry took us to the San Juan Islands, Friday Harbor, where we boarded a boat run by a company called San Juan Excursions. We received more than our money's worth when one whale came right to the bow of the boat and gave us a greeting we will never forget. This sound seeing tour is rich with the audio adventure of whale watching.

Variety Podcast - Hurricane, Travel News, Podcasts and PA Motels

2005-10-06T20:01:00.000-04:00

Podcast Number Twenty Nine

This podcast turned out to be a variety podcast where I talked about the hurricane helping victims. I discussed travel news, some related to the aftermath of hurricane Katrina.

Podcasting was a topic and in particular the success of Independent (Indy) podcasting over the commercially produced but repackaged podcasts.

Don't always trust internet hotel sites when they advertise pet friendly hotels. Listen to the podcast and learn of some deceptive practices of these sites. I also talk about our trip to the Kantz family reuinion and the motel experience we have and about our lively neighbors.
