Today's Geography for Travelers podcast is all about my first trip to Rocky Point (aka Puerto Penasco), Mexico.  I also talk about my open water SCUBA dive certification, which was what the trip was mostly about.

Today's podcast starts off with some geography and tourism news items, including plans for a borderless East Africa, the Global Tourism Intervention Forum, 2005 hurricane names being retired, and the April 18, 1906 San Francisco earthquake anniversay.  I then focus the discussion on a review of the newly published A Mis-Guide to Anywhere, which is a guidebook to experiemental tourism.  I finally talk about how experiemental tourism relates to academic tourism studies of how travelers "sense" the places that they visit.
