Notes from Travelcommando: Hey, everybody! I am so proud to bring you this podcast from such an amazing location. It was a little windy for the interview portion. I had a windscreen but thought I had forgotten it. Later, I found it trapped under a velcro flap. So there's a bit of wind noise here and there, but I ran the whole show myself with ear buds, and the situation was totally bearable. Antonio is great. I am very happy to state that most of any background noise consisted of birdsong. Thanks! The format of this episode: Intro. 1. Travelcommando's interview with professional guide Antonio, from inside the ruins. 2. Travelcommando provides thoughts on his visit to Pompeii, describes his visit to Mount Vesuvius, and tells you about doing these things easily and inexpensively. 3. Antonio's presentation of one of the attractions at Pompeii. 4. More on the eruption, from Pliny the younger

So, I created Missionaries Dishin' About Their Missions.” This was the first Travelcommando interview by phone. There were a few sound related issues, but these were really just small growing pains.

Cindy and Lome join Travelcommando. The three voyagers discuss their favorite destinations. One destination is Korea. One destination is Ireland. One destination is Paris. Interesting quotes from this episode: "They will bring ugly clothes for you to wear." "One of them had like a baby lamb and a baby donkey." "And we're like.......'Oh, yeah!'" "And afterward, South Korea Plays K-pop." I think it is only fair that I apologize in advance for a particular aspect of this podcast. A daytime allergy pill was affecting me rather strongly by the time I presented my destination. The effects included much throat clearing (better than what we would have been dealing with) and a temporary but repetitive verbal habit. I really am sorry. Believe me-Cindy and Lome are DEFINITELY worth your time. I hope that I am, as well.
