replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A2. Was in London last December. Lynn from @MadHattersNYC was over the same time. We tried to arrange to meet up but had commitments. While out walking we actually bumped into each other at King’s Cross Station! What were the chances!#CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A4. I got to see Trinity College Library before it opened for the day so I got photos w/out anyone in them! Unfortunately they’re on my computer so I don’t have any to post 😖 - the guy who’s couchsurfing I stayed on works for the library so he got me in early. #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A5 generally, problems equal opportunities. That is my viewpoint. #travel #CultureTrav

Q2. While I was alone in @HeathrowAirport returning to #NYC after covering the opening of #London's @StPancrasRen, I ran into @annehathaway 's publicist. I was happy to see someone I knew!

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A5 here’s an easy one: if I get stuck in a town/city, I go out and explore instead of sitting in the bus/train station 🚉 and complaining #CultureTrav #traveltips #TravelThursday

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O Totally. I always like to befriend a local for their insights. They always make me experience the place on a whole different level. #Culturetrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O me too -- we travelled by guide books & postcards -- my sister (I thought was in Western Europe) -- she was sick & ran out of money -- her big sis took care of her (here we are in Switzerland) -- no digital cameras back then #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A4: Not really during travel, but one night John & I were in Auckland CBD & we stopped to admire just how tall the Sky Tower is as we were standing right underneath. As we looked up, incredible fireworks starting going off from the top! #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A5: I'm yer gal for chilling during crises! Take a breath, stop for a coffee (and probably a donut),if there are plans to be made, find a hotspot and get on your phone to sort out/get insurance etc. If you need to have a moment, go to the bathroom & silent scream ;-) #CultureTrav

replying to @foodguruchannel @foodguruchannel Wow! Love this so much, though! I could use some Bahamas weather right now. :) How nice about the couple treating you to dinner! #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A5: You have to roll with the punches & remember there's plenty else to do while you're in a place you've never been. We just had a hike canceled in Guatemala, so we booked a different one & did other stuff in the meantime. What else could we do? Sit around and mope? #CultureTrav

replying to @obligatraveler @obligatraveler @Nicolette_O so nice that they didn't cancel on you, too #CultureTrav
