Ever wanted to build an igloo? We're savoring the end of the snow season by taking you to the Sierras to show you how!
This week we'll also discuss the White House's second attempt to nominate a TSA Director, why Cuba is developing faster than ever, the business model behind the Somali pirate industry, and a popular tourist destination where a kiss could land you in jail.
We've got a new (spicy) Tasteful Destination for you, and some little known facts about a tea you know and love with Tea Time. Grab a blanket or cup of hot cider and enjoy!

Seriously, the best show yet. Now I want to build my own igloo.

To be technically correct... it's the Sierra. Not the Sierras.

You misspelled the country of COLOMBIA - on your zipline story
However - your episode was REALLY great!

I went to Cuba in '02 a 15 year old boy, got addicted to tobacco, lost my virginity, drank a ton of rum and emerged a 15 year old man.

To mention, even in passing, that ANYONE would get good medical care in Cuba (unless you're a very privileged person with lots of connections) is the HEIGHT of ignorance. People in Miami have to send to Cuba from the anesthetic to the bed sheets for any stay of a relative lucky enough to have someone in Miami to do that for them. The rooms are filthy, food service is any relative lucky enough to have some extra food for the sick person (FORGET the 'dietician'), which is very rare since no one has enough food for themselves, and the relatives have to clean the room and stay with the patient since the help is scarce (and more so now that Castro is sending doctors to other countries as slaves to get 50,000 dollars from the country in question while the doctor gets paid in Cuban pesos at 20 or so to the dollar) (280 Cuban pesos a month). It's so nice, isn't it, to talk with 'bored insouciance' about something you know nothing about, and be totally free to do it -- which in Cuba would be impossible. Judging by your cavalier attitude and ignorance about Cuba, your opinions about other countries you might visit become very suspect...

Hey Guys: Great show! It really was interesting and I've never even thot about
igloo sleeping. Sweden has an ice hotel that looks cool. But, good show
I'm looking for more. g'dad

Well, I was surprised to be reading an article on AOL today and see Aaron's face next to it. What the hell? I found some pictures the other day from when we all went to Mexico too..... Why do you keep popping up everywhere?
