@CailinONeil And moose repellent. There are more moose than people and altercations between moose and cars usually results in the moose winning. Har!

Epic Road Trips + Great Food and Drink? Yup! Welcome to Food Trail Traveler. Read about our Featured Trails, including a route up the Napa Valley that focuses on what the wine country was like before it became ritzy and glitzy. https://t.co/15mAcdLWUs

@DivaQBBQ Never understood why someone doesn't sell tortillas at a BBQ rib fest. Fall-oof-the-bone rib meat would make awesome tacos!

"If as they say, God spanked the town
For being over frisky,
Why did He burn the churches down
And save Hotaling's whiskey?"

The words of poet Charles K. Field on how the Hotaling's #whiskey warehouse survived the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire.

@andrewzimmern This seems like a no-brainier for a seasoned traveler. In air travel, time is relative. If I get off a 13-hour flight and my personal time is 5pm, I don't care that it's 6am at the airport. Just because it isn't your happy hour doesn't mean you get to judge. Cheers!

Portland's Portlandia statue is famously unknown! Who knew there are ATMs in Antarctica? Guy loses his car at Oktoberfest — for more than a month! This and more on the #BizarreTravelTales #podcast. https://t.co/609CJlxded

Sitting here, sobbing like a little child, watching Simone Biles overcome crippling self doubt to win a bronze. So inspired! https://t.co/rgZfXEsRNM
