A Recommendation For Those Who Like to Go Backstage

An activity that both Richie and I share.  We both love travel and doing it.  Thus a new show on PBS has been a very pleasant surprise.  It's called "The Travel Detective" and is hosted by one Peter Greenberg.

What appeals are weekly features such as "Hidden Gems" which explored how those enormous cruise ships are designed - how many bars, restaurants, attractions such as a zipline  with on-site building tours, with everyone in sight wearing the mandatory hard hat.  Incidentally, all of the ships covered, every presenter of his ship was a CEO or equal level of the ship being toured.

Another segment pointed out airports with the least amount of layover.

Insurance  and why for air b'n' bs.  Your host has to have it in most states as well as a license for it.  For obtaining all of the various licenses, plan on spending as much as two years.

Greenberg's demeanor is calm, we are not given the usual 45 percent churches, museums, 35 percent tourist attractions and five percent food, and Miscellaneous .  Enjoyable as they are.  Specially the food parts. Most often my reaction BTW is "People eat that dreck?"

We saw it on a Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. on PBS.  Check your local PBS listings, if this interests you.  I look forward to seeing another one and checking our main libraries for season DVDs.  One can learn with this guy.  And every day we can learn something is a bonus day.  Carpe diem!
