Your Own Travel Agent Website Part 3 - Free Content

Podcast Number Thirty-seven

This podcast contains information on how you can get free dynamic content for your own travel agent website. This content is provided by Mailpound.com. Mailpound has a free web site service for travel agents called PAWS that stands for Personal Agent Web Site. Mailpound has much more to offer than just web sites. I discussed some of those offerings. The website that I created using PAWS can be found HERE.

Also included was a summary of news from the hurricane ravaged area of Playa Del Carmen, Cozumel and Cancun.

The podsafe music played on the podcast was from a group called Heliozero and the song is Caribe. You can find this music at music.podshow.com.

Close Encounters with Killer Whales - A Sound Seeing Tour

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.
