When I told people I was going to #Boise, the reaction was usually: "Why?"

After spending several days there, I can definitely say that #Idaho is an underrated city-break destination.

@MTheePony Way to go! How exciting! I just got home from Idaho last week. State #32 for me.

@JonathanChames @NewsWire_US Regarding the # of stops... Fewer stops may be bad for the collection of more pax; however, I'd think express service would allow for higher fares. 1 thing I disliked about my Amtrak trip was the frequency of stops - some in the middle of nowhere at a gravel parking lot.

If you like cities that are:
✔️ easy by train
✔️ manageable in 2 days
✔️ strong on food + culture
Then a #Brussels + #Bruges trip is a great combo.

#United Premium Plus is 30,000 miles cheaper than Polaris. Is it worth it? Short answer: sometimes. Here’s what you actually get & what you don’t - flying BRU → IAD: https://t.co/KXw9zQ5zMu #travel #MileagePlus

Prague was lovely. You get cafés, concerts, history & a city that rewards wandering. I wrote a guide for first time vistiors: https://t.co/pTZowU9wkr #Prague #VisitPrague #TravelGuide #FoodTravel #EuropeTravel #CityBreak #cityofprague #travel

42 books read (or listened to) in 2025! So many more in my to read pile. -#GoodreadsYearinBooks

Done for the year. That was a fun one! #United #MileagePlus Gold secured. 27 days till the next adventure! #travel

@Uber accepting cash is a wild 180 business model turn (and unsafe*). Years ago, I first downloaded Uber so I wouldn't have to ask taxi drivers if they accepted something other than cash. (*And it makes drivers a target for robberies.) @Waymo, please come to Cleveland!

I think the @Apple #AirPodsPro3 are so good that for my <4hr flight tomorrow, I am leaving my #AirPodsMax at home for the first time. I guess this also means my lightning cable can stay home too! #tech #travel

@OanaRoua Definitely agree. I'd have missed out on so many cool places had I waited around for others' schedules to align #travchat

@MeganBkind Ginger ale. Saltine crackers. Chicken soup.

@thepointsguy I took a 🚁out of Vegas to the Grand Canyon. We landed on the west rim for a bit and had a flyover over the Hoover Dam, too. 10/10 would recommend.
