Welcome to The Carry-On, a handy grab bag of HuffPost Travel’s most riveting industry snippets, travel hacks and destination discoveries from the past week.
In this roundup, we hope to pack seven days of our site’s breaking news into a tote of travel-size tidbits, small enough to fit any overhead bin. Monday dawned a sunny Memorial Day... and to memorialize this beautiful nation, we celebrated
50 beautiful places in
50 beautiful states with
50 beautiful photographs.
...then we celebrated
one beautiful place in Canada. Such bias-free journalists, we are.
And because Hawaii simply couldn't handle sharing the spotlight with 49 other states, we
haaad to give the islands' verdant fields
their very own post. How do you say "attention hog" in Hawaiian?
The latest
scandal to rock Instagram is a series of
topless travel photos, featuring the backs of travelers without shirts on. These photos include MEN. Without SHIRTS ON. Showing not their fronts, but their BACKS. To a CAMERA. The horror is simply too great.
We then turned our fragile minds to
19 foreign foods you can't come home without trying. ...though may we suggest you take your topless photos
before the pile of
Swedish cream puffs.
A spokesman for a Chicago skyscraper told reporters the building's glass platform
shattered beneath tourists' feet "because we designed it this way." Oh, right. That thing where you design shattering platforms. We forgot doom is an architectural trend right now.
There is no doom in Hawaii. There is not even gloom. Because when it rains in Hawaii, the water just forms into a
giant turquoise swimming pool, duhh. And it's not even muddy, duhh. And the cheerful Hawaiian villagers
ride tubes into the giant swimming pool without even contracting diseases from acid runoff, duhh.
We hate Hawaii. But we love
castles. Happy weekend, travelers!
