Don’t delay eating dessert; it may be covered with ants by the time you get to it. Lesson learned today in Leon, Nicaragua.

@Pharaonick
I think I’ve kissed more men in the past 3 years than I have women in the whole of my life! Egypt has me in its claws ; )

@alexanderbasek
There may come a time in my life when I don’t find the arrival of a Wizz Air flight amusing. Now is not that time.

@reidontravel
Detroit Red Wings are staying in same hotel as me in Pittsburgh. Overheard one ask: ‘There are TWO double beds in the room, right?’

@susanorlean
Great news! My garden has been named #1 Travel Destination by Weed, Dandelion, & Poison Ivy Magazine!

@adamkarlin
Crab cakes at Clarkes Landing, cheesecake icecream at Bruster’s and fireflies and green and damn what a Maryland night.

@natballard
Tonight is a clean pajamas night, is there any better? Love getting clean laundry back when travelling, opens up a whole world of options.

@reidontravel
I love 25-hour flights. It’s like being at camp. You never expect it to end. The worst is a five-hour flight, antsy the whole way.

@SophiaDembling
Summer has hit in Texas. Like a big, hot, wet towel to the face. With mosquitoes.

@robverger
Just listened to a man practicing the ukelele on downtown 1 train. Told him I liked it; he said, ‘You got it, buddy.’ I love NY.

Great Tweets!  Most people use Twitter to promote their business or themselves which is all right.  But, it’s a great way to keep up-to-date on your travels and what’s happening where you’re at for a given point in time.
