Feb 3, 2024 - Teslas to Trains, LA Travel and Adventure Show: Report & Photos by Carl Morrison. The show was held on Saturday and Sunday at the Los Angeles Convention Center; Traffic is relatively light to drive my 2020 Tesla 3 about 45 minutes there for the day. One unexpected cost was $25 for parking. I like to look for tourist trains to mention to my TrainWeb.com/carl readers and TeslaTouring.com/carl readers as a destination to which they could drive their Teslas or other EVs. A highlight for me is also hearing Travel Writer, Pauline Frommer, "Life-Enhancing Vacations that won't break the bank"... Slide Show>>   Read More>>

Accentuated by notes of herb and spice and more notable aromas of tea and citrus, each bottle features a gloss black sleeve with a CyberBeer watermark (that looks even better chilled).
