Response to Tell Us Your Tips For Packing Lightly:
Space Saving Compression Bags for dirty clothes on long trips for when you don’t have a way to do laundry. Put dirty clothes in these bags to make space in your suitcase to bring back souvenirs!! Added bonus… dirty clothes won’t smell up your clean clothes. Dirty socks are the worst!!! It was a huge space saver for our trip to Italy, and then we used the filled compressed bags as cushions to keep breakables safe in suitcases. http://a.co/3KenPC1

Response to Where Can You Find The Best BBQ In Texas?:
I live in Dallas, but without a doubt, Franklin’s in Austin is the best! I have only had it once because you can expect a 5 hour long line. (I was lucky and won the pre-order lottery while visiting for ACL Music Festival) . But talked to a girl who was in the line starting at 7am to make sure she got BBQ before it sold out. They don’t even open until 11am!! Unfortunately Franklin’s no longer allows bbqfastpass line sitters anymore. Yep… That’s a thing in Texas!!
