Radio days

Hear, hear… no, not some warbling politicians but just a couple of good friends talking Travel.

Aileen Eglington put this relative radio tyro at ease on her Travel show Destination Anywhere on 93.9 Dublin South FM yesterday.

The hour positively flew by as we talked Turkey (Istanbul), LA and Anaheim and Lourdes.

And we interspersed it with a few songs….

Natasha Bedingfield’s These Words, happy memories from when she loved me, she loved me, she loved me, picking me and my purple beard out of the crowd as she sang Purple Rain, the Beach Boys’ Sloop John B which they sang at our set lunch in Anaheim and On The Road Again by Willie Nelson which always reminds me of the Camino and the Via Francigena.

So, thanks Aileen and until the next time…. tune into http://www.dublinsouthfm.ie/events/travel-show every Monday from 1pm-2pm.

MEET YOU ON THE RADIO AGAIN

Meet you on the radio

I’ll tell you what The Donald is thinking

If you haven’t heard me yet… then I’m talking too quietly.

I’ll be on the radio this morning on Dublin South FM, broadcasting on 93.9FM from 2pm-3pm with the awesome Aileen Eglington.

I’ll be California Dreamin’ about my recent trip to Hollywood, West Hollywood and Anaheim and also all things Istanbul (they have a new mayor there, don’t you know and did you see all those people out celebrating in the streets). And then let’s finish it all with a prayer… the Lourdes Prayer.

And relive some of that with My Weekend With Marilyn, part one of my LA Story, the second part of which is in this Saturday’s Irish Daily Mail, while The Lourdes Prayer is also coming soon. My Weekend with Marilyn https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/2019/06/22/my-weekend-with-marilyn/.

Listen in to find out what three songs I choose too. And visit http://www.dublinsouthfm.ie to find out how you can hear it back. I can’t think what else you might be doing around 2pm-3pm though.

Uncle Sam-a-Man

Donald, I’m on my way! Tell the gang.

I’m off to Disneyland in Anaheim to meet my old pals who I last saw in Walt Disney World a couple of years ago. Donald still keeps in touch, sending me a thank-you card after I got back from Orlando.

First up though is Hollywood,

I’ll be road testing the new Star Wars theme park attraction at Disney as well as all that Universal Studios has to offer. And I’ll be finding out all the news from all Fifty states at the American travel fair IPW. Visit http://www.disneyland.disney.com, http://www.universalstudioshollywood.com, http://www.ipw.com, http://www.visitcalifornia.com, http://www.visitwesthollywood.com, http://www.discoverlosangeles.com, www,visitanaheim.org.

And of course our national airline carrier Aer Lingus http://www.aerlingus.com. Now will my Donald Duck costume fit in the overhead cabin?

I’ll be back though before you know it, so I’ll leave you in the capable hands of my Minnie-me, the one, the only, the indomitable Mrs M.

And here’s a wee reminder of what happened the last time I met The Donald. Visit https://jimmurtytraveltraveltravel.com/disney-why-i-love-the-donald/(opens in a new tab).

MEET YOU ON THE ROAD… AND THE ROLLERCOASTERS
