A3 Definitely less tourists and more culture to embrace. #WeekendWanderlust

#WeekendWanderlust A3: Smaller crowds is one of our favorite benefits! But also, more authentic, local experiences, lower costs, and friendly locals. #travel

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte A3) Less crowds to contend with, prices tend to be more reasonable, flight and hotel points costs are lower, and most importantly, more things to explore that aren't already overrun or instafamous #WeekendWanderlust

RT @TravelLatte: As much as this group travels, you'd think airplanes would count as our Second Cities! Especially this one - I'd move in…

Q4: Second Cities can be a great way to save on airfare and hotels. Have you ever used a Second City as a base for exploring nearby bigger cities? #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @wildheartedblog @wildheartedblog A4) We've certainly stayed in what is more of the outskirts of the main city, but possibility a "second city" example would be staying in Oakland CA as a base to explore San Francisco and the Bay area. #weekendwanderlust

A4 Yes, There are amazing opportunities to experience smaller cities and drive to different areas. Last time when we were in Italy we used Florence as a base and visited Pisa and Bologna. #WeekendWanderlust

#WeekendWanderlust A4: A lot of times, we’ll fly into second-city airports to save some money. Since we like to #travel without a rental car, we usually book hotels in the main city though.

replying to @ParksandPoints @ParksandPoints I’d definitely consider Oakland a second city! Did you find it was easy to explore San Francisco from there? #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @wildheartedblog @wildheartedblog Totally, public transit there allows for easy access! Plus hotel pricing (in both cash and points value) is so, so much more reasonable #weekendwanderlust

A2- If you want to enjoy canals, but don't want to pay the prices of Venice or deal with the crowds in Amsterdam, give Brugge a try #WeekendWanderlust #travelingsession

A5: I prefer a little bit of main city and a lot of the lesser known areas. A healthy 40-60 mixture I’d say! Maybe 30-70. #WeekendWanderlust

A5 Traveling is all about exploring the world, all of it not just the well-known places. We love traveling so we go everywhere because I feel like even if you have been there is something we didn’t see before. #WeekendWanderlust

#WeekendWanderlust A5: OR? How about both! The main cities are there for a reason, and worth a visit. But lesser known cities have their own charms and attractions, too! #travel
