the BEST of #traveltuesday

Hey there travel tweeters!

Early this morning, Where I've Been decided to create the hashtag "#traveltuesday" in hopes that travelers could communicate their thoughts, suggestions, travel stories, quotes, pictures, videos, travel deals, and blog entries easily and efficiently.

Throughout the day @whereivebeen posted various travel-related questions, and recieved a lot of wonderful, thought-provoking feedback. In fact, I would love to share with you some of the best responses I recieved today under the #traveltuesday hashtag!
