FAQ: What are my favorite travel apps?
Answer: My favorite travel apps are the airline that I am traveling on that day, rideshare apps like Uber/Lyft, public transportation apps wherever I am. When in Atlanta, it’s MARTA, in San Diego, it’s PRONTO, Expedia, plus Turo.
Expedia and Booking are basically the same type of booking engine. Turo is like AirBNB, but for cars.
Today’s destination: Duluth, Georgia
I had not heard of Duluth, Georgia before this year. This is NOT in Minnesota.
My brother was doing some outdoor painting there, so we took a drive to scout the scenery one afternoon. I learned a lot about the town and so you may want to consider visiting this delightful off the beaten trip destination near Atlanta, Georgia. It’s a suburb with many charming aspects to explore, including the downtown area. Downtown Duluth has a small footprint, easily walkable and plenty of greenspace. There is plenty of space for gathering for events or just to play frisbee. There’s a large fountain and Hudgens Center for the Arts with changing exhibitions and a sculpture garden. Abundance of benches and decorative architecture.
Painting scenery, including barns and farmhouses, bridges, town center, farmers markets, etc. in this small town.
This past weekend, there was a Plein air contest for my brother, John.
The Southeastern Railway Museum has a few artifacts like Pullman cars, locomotives and cabooses. Northeast of town, you will find Lake Lanier, which is known for beaches and parks. It is know for the Infinite Energy Center Arena and many malls, Art Galleries, Concerts, and a choice of Restaurants
Today’s Mistake-Breaking my ear bud
I have graduated from the headsets with strings that always get tangled. Now I use earbuds. However, they have some downsides too. The ear bud falls out of my ear and breaks on the sidewalk. Not a good day. Avoid the cheap earbuds that fall out. Use good quality earbuds.
Today’s Travel Advice- Sit in an exit row on the plane for more leg room.
If you can select an exit row, you will be able to stretch your legs more. Ask to sit in one of these rows. Seats in the exit row are among the most coveted seats on an airplane. Featuring extra legroom and in some cases limitless legroom, they are known as the most valuable real estate in coach class to frequent flyers.
They may not recline and they may be less wide than other seats, so be aware.
