@tspadventure I wish my numbers were that "tiny."

A little blogging win: This summer I was at 10-12K monthly page views. Just checked yesterday and I'm now at almost 20K! I know those are tiny numbers to some but I'm excited! Now can someone who understands this stuff tell me how to find out where the increase came from?😅

@TheCuriousWood1 I not only write in cursive, I write in shorthand--learned in the '70s.

Does anyone still write in cursive? I'm trying to relearn

@emmannhill Vote to improve healthcare, and maintain medicare and social security.

@RetroHighway A runny fried egg.

Pan fried hash browns Are you going with ketchup or Cholula?

@EricAndersonV Vanilla cream-filled chocolate.

@ieatmypigeon Congratulations! Always good to be in the place you feel is the best fit.

Today's my 1st day as BBC Travel's SpeciaList writer! I'll be editing, writing, & producing their new guide series. This is the position I've been waiting for - thank you to everyone who suggested I throw my hat in the ring and to the team for giving me this opportunity. Lessgo💪

@DadsThatTravel I went to Alicante this summer, as well. It was hot. Very nice location.

We have visited three different Spanish cities this year. Alicante Barcelona Valencia Really would love to make the move one day such a great relaxed lifestyle. Next year we aim to tick off. Seville Bilbao Cadiz Anywhere else we should try out?

@bluertwo Never have, either

Am I the only one who has never played pickle ball? 🥴🤠😂

@CaitlinKellyNYC exactly. My friend is 70 looking for work, and he gets second interviews when it is over the phone, but once he goes there in person, he is ghosted.

Oh look another NYT right wing op ed suggesting Americans work to the age of 77. Hilarious. Dude, try to get a job interview over the age of 60, let alone 50. Such utter bullshit ignoring rampant ageism.

@VikingCruises The UK! (though I love Central Europe, too, the UK is so lovely with all its wide open natural spaces.

Follow the fall colors to Vienna. Where would you like to voyage to watch the seasons change? #MyVikingStory

@NatBCo @washingtonpost Travel partners who complain about every little thing or other guests at hotels and restaurants; similarly, travel partners who are rude to staff who don't give them what they think they are entitled to. I feel as if I am guilty by association when they do that.

TRAVELERS! Would love to hear your RED FLAGS and ICKS in a travel partner for a @washingtonpost story I'm working on. Picky eaters? No TSA PreCheck? What's a deal breaker?

@VikingCruises I enjoyed the two-week Grand European cruise on #VikingRiverCruises and would like to do all of Europe on river cruises. Give me a month or a summer/fall of river cruises--can we get an extended tourist visa for those?

What's the perfect length for a travel itinerary? ⚓️ A week-long getaway 🛳 A one-month sojourn 🌎 A 100+ day journey ✓ All of the above Tell us why—and where you might like to go next. #MyVikingStory

@aviosAdventurer I am tempted to take my next trip from the US to Europe without any planes. Queen Mary 2 to London/Southampton, Queen Anne to EU, trains and river cruises throughout Europe and perhaps another transatlantic cruise from Lisbon to Ft. Lauderdale.

@WineFolly Pinot Noir or Syrah

Testing your inner sommelier… What style of wine would you recommend to pair with a Classic Margherita Pizza?

@joncoopertweets yes

Would you support Liz Cheney for House speaker — YES or NO?

@sebmodak @WSJ I have a few ideas for you - obviously Hungary and Budapest are key. Also other European stories, as well as domestic.

Happy to share that today is my first day as the Travel Editor for Off Duty, @WSJ's lifestyle section. Big shoes to fill and much to learn, but I'm so excited to shape stories that help people understand the world and how best to navigate it.

@BigBlendMag @jeanineconsoli @IFWTWA I enjoy it every time!

@gettinghungary @jeanineconsoli @IFWTWA Thanks so much Diane, always a pleasure having you on the shows :)
