I like beer! I also liked September. However, I do not like the over-the-top negative comments that come from my posts that poke fun at our President. Jokes are one thing, but name calling is not necessary. I’m not talking about people criticizing me. That’s fine. I’m talking about anonymous commentator A saying something about anonymous commentator B. “How can you trust anonymous sources?!” #unfair
I also understand that many of you read travel blogs to escape politics. What I don’t get is why you don’t just skip over click-bait posts like Dear Mr. President, Leave Air Force One’s Paint Job Alone when you know it’s going to be a smartass post that makes light of the dysfunction in DC. And for those that do click, realize that this is a blog. This is my opinion. This is my personality. This is Sparta! TPOL!
And with that, here are the top posts for the month of September. Notice which one is on top.

I do not appreciate when waiters ask the question, “Do you want to leave a tip?” It is impolite. My anti-tipping stance aside, don’t you agree? - House Hunters (Semi) International: Where to Live in Puerto Rico
Who would’ve thought that there are so many choices for where to live on an island. I think the best thing would be to look at all of them and evaluate which one is best. - TPOL’s Guide to A Night in Tel Aviv: Breakfast Included
Looking for a party? Tel Aviv doesn’t disappoint. Looking for breakfast? Tel Aviv doesn’t disappoint. - InterContinental David Tel Aviv: Worth Burning the Cert
If you’re looking to burn your certificate in style, go to the IC Tel Aviv David. - Pinaloka: The Best Piña Colada in Puerto Rico?
In my book, Everyone’s Advice is Wrong . . . Including Mine (on sale here), I describe how, at the age of 18, I was “bound for one of those private hideaways showcased in Robb Report, and how “I could already taste the island rum in a delicious piña colada.” Eighteen years later, with one part of my fortuitous plan complete, it is time to cement the other.
