I did not have a better place to put this, so I have it here. Tonight from 10pm to 11pm  Globetrekker will be featuring the Anderson Military Base at Yigo, Guam. I got as far as the eastern gate of Anderson when I toured Guam by public bus in April, 2008 but the curious tourists are not allowed in. For those of you who wanted to see more of the site where AR11 tasks in the Guam episode started, this is your chance. This is on PBS throughout New Jersey and may be shown elsewhere. It is the newest episode of Globetrekker, so look for it in your area if you are interested in this.

Here is some more Amazing Race news that combines with what's happening with other shows. One of the best new travel shows in "Dhani Jones Circles the Globe" NFL linebacker Jones, an engaging fellow, travels the world competing in athletic contests where professionals let just him join them. He has been to:

Muay Thai in Thailand,
Schwingen in Switzerland,
rugby in England,
dragon boating in Ssingapore,
jai alai in the Basque section of Spain,
hurling in Ireland,
and water rescue in Australia

The main reason to watch is not to see Dhani compete (you can do that by watching Cincinnati Bengals football games). It is the travelogue that takes up about half of each show.

What I find particularly interesting are the current episode's tributes to the Amazing Race. The water rescue task for Dave/Jeff in Queensland won them a FAST FORWARD. Dhani was in the Sydney area, but water rescue is identical there. Also, Dhani visited the Manly OceanWorld Aquarium just like Amazing Race Asia 1.

I highly recommend "Dhani Circles the globe." He still has some more places to visit before this show goes into
Travel Channel reruns (although each one is shown many times in the week it premiers).

I discovered some excellent PBS programs this afternoon that relaet to AR11. First was Travelscope where Joseph Rosendo, a decent travel show host, went to San Pedro de Atacama and other places nearby, finishing at the interesting geysers and hot springs of the Valley of the Moon.

Following it was Passport to Adventure, with even better travel hosts in Julie Conover and Mark Jennings. They went to Guam. I had seen this program before but it was still interesting to see the many different things that can be done on that island without being on any military base.

This was on channel 21, PBS from Long Island. If you get a chance I recommend that you take a look at these programs.
