In the Travel News, Princess is upgrading the wi-fi on their ships and New Jersey is creating the **[Anthony Bourdain Food Trail](https://www.travelpulse.com/news/destinations/anthony-bourdain-food-trail-is-coming-to-new-jersey.html),** based on the stops in one of his episodes.

In our Smarter Traveler segment, Mark has a rant about the weird designs in new hotel rooms. What were they thinking? Plus, his ideas on how to solve airline overbooking and a comment on traveling when you are sick.

Guests in the second half of the show include the writer of a book on the [Coca-Cola Trail](https://thecocacolatrail.com/), a compilation of Coke landmarks around he country; and a San Francisco-based travel writer you had to rely on Uber and Lyft to get around for two months.
