Getting to Ushguli: The Real Route

Ushguli sits at 2,200m in Georgia's Svaneti region. No direct buses. No easy shortcuts. Fly into Tbilisi. Take the overnight train to Zugdidi (₾25, surprisingly comfortable). From there, catch a marshrutka to Mestia—but here's what nobody mentions: they only run when full, and 'full' means 12 people crammed into a van built for 8. Mestia to Ushguli? Another marshrutka, but only in summer. Winter means hiring a 4WD driver for ₾150-200. Worth negotiating. The road switchbacks through mountains that look like they're still being carved. Your ears will pop. The driver will chain-smoke. But when those medieval towers emerge from morning fog, you'll understand why people make this journey. Some places earn their isolation. 📍 #Travel #HiddenGeorgia #SvanetiTravel

Hawaiian Axes Its Longest U.S. Flight

Hawaiian Airlines is shaking things up and cutting three major long-haul routes, including the epic Boston-to-Honolulu nonstop (the longest U.S. domestic flight!). Flights to Seoul and Fukuoka are also getting the chop. Why? They’re shifting planes to busier routes like Sydney, Tahiti, LA, and Seattle, especially during peak travel times. If you had plans on those axed routes, you’ll get a refund or a new option. Big moves as Hawaiian and Alaska Airlines get closer to merging! #Travel #HawaiianAirlines #TravelNews

Buying a Caribbean Passport Is the New Flex

People are literally buying homes in the Caribbean just to score a second passport that unlocks travel to 150 countries (hello, Europe and the UK). Drop $300K+ on a house in Antigua, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts & Nevis, or St. Lucia, and you could be a citizen in under a year. Americans are loving the 'Plan B passport' life, and the rental income isn’t bad either. Would you do it for the ultimate travel hack? #Travel #CaribbeanLife #SecondPassport

Disney World’s phone frenzy: Is magic getting lost?

Nothing kills the Disney World vibe faster than someone blocking your view with a wall of phones and camera gear.

It’s not just about missing the perfect shot—some say it’s taking the magic out of the parks for everyone. Should Disney start cracking down on influencer-style filming rigs? Or is capturing memories just part of the experience now? Curious how others feel about this new normal at the parks! #Travel #DisneyWorld #ThemeParks
